Artic Fox 29.5T 2018

[caysea7254]

Does anyone know of a dealer that sale these units in the Midwest? We are really interested in looking at one of these units. I have done a search on them but the closet that has that model is in Longmont Colorado. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Tara

Like you I've seen and heard nothing but good things about Arctic Fox units. Also like you dealers are in short supply although there are some within an extended driving range to order from. Being that there is not inventory in stock, I would bet the discount off of MSRP won't be near as much as say a Grand Design, or other manufacturers. Does anybody have any experience with purchasing these units?

A dealer shows most of the models at the Portland RV show in January each year. As I recall, their show special is around 15% off MSRP.

I also live on east coast. I will be ordering a 32M in fall. They built that unit only ever 6 months. So if i order it in fall will be here next spring

The AF32-5M is the only new trailer that we considered buying.

There are 2 things that we wanted that Northwood wouldn't do. First was the Bigfoot leveling and second was improved suspension. We were going to order the trailer with manual jacks and then add the Bigfoot as well as Morryde 4000 suspension.

We ended up buying used. With the $$,$$$$ we save we are doing the upgrades to that trailer.

Thanks everyone!! I wish they were closer!! we are in love with the 29-5T. Our 1 concern is not having a dealer in the state. Where do you take the unit if it needs repair?? A lot to think about. We are just so surprised they don't have more dealers east of Mississippi.

Northwood is very good at authorizing a non local,dealer to do warranty work when people don't live close by. A good local RV shop I'm sure will work on any brand, my dealer is 80 miles away, I use a local shop I've used long before I owned my Arctic Fox fifth wheel.

I had a warranty issue while on the road, a small but important issue I paid about $300 out of pocket knowing I may get nothing reimbursed. Took many photos, sent it to my dealer who helped get mr fully reimbursed from Northwood.

I just looked on their web site, and there is a dealer just east of Cincinnati. I didn't see the model you are looking for in their inventory, but they do list 2018 models as on order. You might contact them. I think I'll check them out, I'm in Ohio, and didn't know there was a dealer here.

We'll be buying a 5er in a couple years, and Arctic Fox is at the top of the list. Fortunately we have a dealer only 12 miles from home. IMHO, it would. be worth traveling for, or you you could pay a delivery guy. Good luck.

Arctic Fox, Silver Fox is an excellent choice

You might check out the user forum, www.nroa2003.com, post there what you are looking for and see if one of the members is close and willing to show theirs.

May not help but RV Sales of New Mexico is now a Northwoods dealer. They were a longtime Excel dealer with a good reputation but have not heard much about them since Excel went out of business. They have a 2017 29.5 in stock.

They haven't built a 2018 yet. Maybe they are going to be the same as the 2017(which seem to be rather scarce)?

I'll bet they have. I got my 2012 in early June of 2011
