Arctic Fox 25R

[SSchoenfelder]

I'm thinking about getting an Arctic Fox 25R travel trailer. Does anyone out there have any experience with this rig?

No experience with that particular model but I have a Nash 5th wheel made by the same manufacturer and am very happy with it after 3 years use. Nash/Arctic Fox/Desert Fox have a very good reputation on the IRV2 forum and the RV.net forum. They are highly rated, few problems reported, and the manufacturer has a good reputation for standing behind them in the few cases where there are problems. Their website is http://nashtraveltrailers.com/

Thumbs up on my Arctic Fox 27-5L 5er. Great company and great product.

Ditto on the thumbs up for Artic Fox. They are good quality and a great company to deal with. I pull my TT off road quite a bit and it is holding up extremely well.

We have a 2002 25R and love it. Had a 1996 Nash 26J that held up exceptionally well to our back roads style of camping in the N. W. Wanted something just a little shorter, and the 25R fit the bill--the small slide gives a little more room for long legs (my husbands) and 4 legs (90# Lab, Jake). With all the "junk" my husband thinks is necessary in the truck (2 spares, tools, extra diesel,gas for the generator or ATV if we have it along, heavy GemTop steel canopy, etc. ) we are at or over our 16K GCVW. Our truck is a '97 2500 4x4, 3. 54, 5 speed, stock. Trying to convince my husband to get a 2003--we have test driven a 3500 SRW with the 48RE (his knees are bad) but we may just bomb the '97 and hope the rear end holds up! As previously posted, Nash and Fox are great trailers--they follow the 4x4. LOTS of support for them on the Open Road forum at www.rv.net/forum. They are heavy for the length, but this model was the only one we found with a HEAVY frame and a small slide.



How do you do signatures on this forum?

Click on the User Control Panel button at the top of the page, and select Preferences (or something like that). Sure wish my wife would suggest that we go out looking at '03 trucks.

Hey Klenger,



Based on your web site and all the good things I have read on this and other sites I bought and will be picking up my new 27-5L 5th wheel on Friday.

Saturday will be 10 weeks since I ordered it. The folks at the factory (Virginia) must be glad that I won't be calling any more.

I have a 1999 Arctic Fox 24-5N 5er. Bought it new and it will soon be 4 yr's old. I have never had one problem/defect and never been back to dealer. Excellant product,high quality & engineering.

OK, I demand a finder's fee. I suppose it will be my fault if you don't like it.

 

[jdiebold]

Not a chance klenger, I'll blame my wife, it's more fun making up with her.



I remember what you told me a while back about wishing you would have gotten a smaller trailer. That is why we came down from a 29-5E to the 27-5L.



You do have a very nice and helpful web site. Keep up the good work.



Thanks for all your help.

P. S. Watch for Pictures!

I have a Nash 25S. 4 years. It has not been treated nice. It is one tough trailer. northwoods stand behind their trailers and are very helpful when it is something that I casued. Planning on replacing the Nash with a little bigger AF soon. You will be pleased with AF
