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.508Views0likes0CommentsRe: Purchasing an Arctic Fox
I just purchased a new Arctic Fox 32A in Oct and will take delivery sometime in 2018. From what I have been able to find out going back a couple of years the 32A has come off line April 2015 (2016) and again in Nov 2015(?) not again until June of 2016(2017) then again June 2017 (2018). The manufacture stated to me that the next run was around Feb/March 2018 but I also received a PM saying early Summer of 2018 so even though I purchased a 2018 it may actually be a 2019 They seem to be sold as soon as they hit the lot or they are ordered. There is one in Ohio and he was willing to deal, However I received a better deal closer to home and I liked the dealership. Finding a dealership that will give 30% from what I have found is nearly impossible but a reasonable discount can be had. I also had the dealership throw in a Hitch set up of our choice which I think we will be going with the Blue Ox sway pro. There are also some off the books upgrades and you would need if interested ask about. I also had a 2" receiver installed and the Alumaguard installed on the toppers along with the other upgrades that we picked.346Views0likes0CommentsRe: Buying New sight unseen

We decided that we didn't want to trade in our 2016 F250 4x4 diesel for a dually for a 5th wheel so we homed in on TT's. I started a year ago stating I wanted an Arctic Fox 32A and I let people talk me out of it because I'm on the East coast and finding a dealer is like finding Hens teeth so we investigated other TT's dropping the idea of the Arctic Fox, we did not find one we both liked. So back to my crazy idea of the 32A. There was one dealership about 3 hours from us but did not have a 32A on the lot however they did have several other models that could give us a glimpse into the fit and finishes along with colors and extras. I wanted to build it with what we wanted. We placed an order yes sight unseen and we are waiting on a build date. We ordered a 2018 but it may be a 2019 when we receive it. Factory said a build date of Feb/March another said early summer so I guess when I get the update of build I'll know. We are excited and nervous but for us it was a deduction of what we were looking at and what we wanted and Arctic Fox fit the deal. We optioned it out fully and I think we got a good deal. I have talked to several people that have the 32A and all of them love it. If I get to the dealership and we see problems we will walk simple as that. I don't foresee any. Oh and this isn't the first time we have bought something sight unseen. It worked out well for us the other times so I guess we will see if the trend continues. It wasn't a whim it was something that we took our time and investigated fully before making the decision. Good Luck. Congrats and good luck. Putting down a deposit of some kind and ordering from a factory is one thing. Paying the entire amount without seeing the unit is something altogether different. Oh God yes, Although the dealership requires a 10% deposit down to order I would not pay in full until we walked through it. We also sat down with the dealership and worked out a deal in person.390Views0likes0CommentsRe: Buying New sight unseen
