Purchasing an Arctic Fox

[Colo_Native]

Anyone out there want to share what good price is for an Arctic Fox I am looking at the 32a and no one so far wants to deal its there price or hit the road I have used the average 30 -35% off MSRP and they aren't there. They are at 15% am I missing something.

Just find one and try to negotiate downward. Mine is a 2006 31W and I wouldn't sell it for 19K.

The demand is there. They do not get discounted like other brands.
I had a Nash that I bought used for $11,000 cash during the recession.
I sold it 9 years later for $9,800.

I am in the process of ordering a new 25Y from the dealer in Colfax, CA. Sierra RV Center. For units on the lot, they have a discounted price on display. About 10% off MSRP. For units "on the way", they offered a bigger discount up front. When asked about ordering one, they said the discount still applies. Greater than 15%.
Cheers

Northwood can't meet the time line I need so I will probably buy a Grand Design Reflection 315 rlts or maybe a 297rsts its a little shorter by 4'

I wonder are there any real big issues towing a 38' trailer other than long.

Good luck with your GD. If I had to get something besides another Northwood or Outdoors product it would probably be a GD.

Take a look at the Grand Design Forum. You will find plenty of problems with GD trailers. Also keep in mind Lippert supplies the frame and axles which have had problems. As a prior owner of 2 AF 5ers I would pick Northwood products over Grand Design any time. With the problems I am having/had with Lippert systems, I would not buy a GD product ever again.

I contacted the manufacturer prior to ordering in Oct 2017 and their response to me was "Looking at current orders and production I would guess a build date for the 32A around February/March of 2018."

There is a 32A 2018 at Mike Jones in Ohio.

Last one I got from the dealer was May or June. I can get a Grand Design for 10K+ less than a Arctic Fox and I have to have this by Late May. The one in Ohio is sold.

If I were you I would ask Northwood directly. You can send a message through their Facebook page. They have always answered pretty fast through messenger.

There aren't any used 32A's out there

Well it looks like I will be ordering a Grand Design Reflection 315 TT because I can't get a good price for me and they won't be built until May or June and I need it before that.
