Grizzly, Did you ever get any pictures of the New Fox. She is a beauty! Computer is back up, finally, and I am ready to rock and roll! Hope to take the Arctic Fox on its maiden voyage in the next few days. We are busy filling it up. Jim

Grizzly-The answer is no, I did not hear about the rain test. We discussed many items and I am sure I didn't give him time to add some info. Matt was fun to talk with and had answers for most of my questions. I have spent hours reading about tires and the problems some people are having. My...

For the last 3 weeks, I was in Portland Or. That made me fairly close to the Northwood Mfg. Plant. So since they are building my new 5th wheel, I ran over for the factory tour. Their man, Matt, showed me the operation. I will admit that I have not looked at any other trailer build plants, but...

grizzly-If this works, fine

Grizzly-I was on top of Wolf Creek Pass a couple of years ago myself. The reason I went there was to see the place, just because of the song about the place. There was snow when I was there also. Nice truck, but what are those growths on the rear axle? I can't get my picture I to send to attach...

Grizzly- I was on top of Wolf Creek Pass once. I went there just because of the song about the place. There was snow then also. I can't get the picture to attach because it wants a URL address and everything falls apart at that point. Strange looking truck, what are the growths at the drive...

Grizzly-I happen to be in Portland right now. The Northwood Plant is just up I-84 and so I went over to plant to see what is going there. They are building my trailer right now! It will be delivered to Utah Trailer Source about May 11th. I will have to learn how to post the pictures on this site...

My understanding is, Fleetwood closed up shop. The stuff they have now is used and what they built before shutting down. So you probably would want to buy anyway now. Jim

THolz_New trailer comes with overgrown tanks. Two in fact. Fact sheets don't show a really large downdraw, but I'll let u know after the Alaska trip in June. Jim

Okay Guys, I now know what you all think about onboard generators! I was leaning that way and now you have all collectivly pushed me overboard. The new trailer will come with a new generator. I hope each of you give me a extra check to help with the runaway costs involved. I decided on the 5500...

Grizzly-I pulled plug, and went ahead and ordered the 27 AF. Didn't order a generator. So tell me why you chose the large one and 50 amp plug. I was of the understanding I would not need 50 amp. service. The more I think about the generator, the more I lean to having one. The plus side as I see...

Grizzly- I have been thinking of buying the 27 5L Artic Fox. So give me your best recommendation. So far it has impressed me a lot. Thanks in advance for your reply Jim Larsen

I have no answer for alarm going off. But with one suggusting optima batteries, I want to know if they are worth the money? I have heard stories about them not doing well in the diesel application. So tell me, are they good for diesels. Thanks Jim Larsen

I have just 200 miles short of 20,000 miles on my 07. 5. Have not had any messages about DPF in my overhead. Have had several signals from the engine mulfunction light. Dealer said they would go away after several stop and start cycles and they did. I am looking for better mileage with after...

Bob- What was the truck in shop so long for?
