I have a Fox Mountain 235RLS. I tow it with a 2012 Ram 2500 CTD. We've had it 1 year and 5 days. Gone over 5000+miles and close to 60 nights camping. 1st night out the kitchen faucet broke. I just replaced it with a better Home Depot one. 1st week had a slow water leak. Poor choice of fittings from Northwood. Called Northwood and since my buying dealer was 300 miles away they referred me to an RV Repair shop in town. Towed it over, waited for them to fix it and it's been perfect since. The guy that owns the shop used to work for Northwood. Plus in my book. 2 weeks ago the water pump acted up. Called Northwood, they sent me a new one to install my self. Those are the only problems we've had. You could say only one was Northwood's fault as they didn't make the faucet or the Shurflo water pump.
I can't say enough good about Northwood and the way they handle issues. I also like the fact that they build their own frames. Our Fox Mountain doesn't have all the amenities that the Arctic Fox line does, but I also didn't pay nearly $20,000 more either. It did come with lots of LED lighting, a nice subwoofer for the stereo. Fantastic Fan in the bedroom with remote. Fantastic fan in the bathroom. 8 cu fridge. Lots of storage, although it does lack storage for cloths. But that's the 235RLS design. Good size holding tanks. And a huge payload capacity for a smaller 5'er. 4315lbs. For us it works outs nice as there are just the two of us.
Even though it looks like a light weight unit on paper it really is suited for 3/4 tons or higher. Loaded up the pin is 1800lbs, and it weighs 9000lbs. My RAWR from the scales is 4900lbs. Not too many 1/2 tons can put 4900lbs on the rear axles. They are lighter back there though.
So far I would recommend a Fox to anyone. I'm hoping I can say the same thing in 5-7 years.
