I enjoyed this review. Great comment on the wheels and tires. You reenforced my thoughts on the stairs. I'll be interested in knowing your fix. Thanks for taking the time to make meaningful comments.
Arctic Fox does make good campers , but I'm with you on the steps. I believe several companies are using those, and I don't like the idea of them folding inside.
We have a 2018 22g and it’s like your talking about a different company. We have had trouble with everything. No help from the dealer or company. Problems with wiring, plumbing, cabinets and delaminating roof.
Hi! I had a 24AS and THOUGHT the same- turns out the tiny caps in the center of the hub ON the chrome piece pop off! I ACTUALLY removed all the wheels twice to grease- then found you can flip the little center piece off! These are remarkably well thought out and designed for heat-cold- dry camping rigs, not sure about the fifth wheel, but the 24AS and 27FS are BEASTS and are also toy haulers. Downside? Shower too small. You are quite right about the steps, they do flip dirt in. The layout of the Toy Haulers is genius- you can heat the holding and water tanks using only PROPANE- if inside heated to 72, crack bath vent, the tanks will not freeze (except in very high winds) at 0 degrees F.
You are correct, a sofa or a couple recliners, they’re missing. We sold our RV over the winter. It had no storage for clothes. I always had to fold them into the cabinets. Yuck.
as soon as you started to walk toward the door i knew you were going to say the stairs, i don't understand why everyone thinks they are so great and putting them on all these campers, they are a complete pain in the butt
Hey Dave, really like your videos! I seen you may have sold that RV in this video, but something to think about and maybe you have already. They make amber type you could possibly put on those bright lights for future rvs that my have them. Just an idea. Happy camping!!
All they had to do is powder coat them , it’s just some manufactures cheap out on they could have at least make it a option and the dealer could of offered it. You can go to Harbor Freight and they have a cheap powder coat gun but the problem is you need a oven big enough to fit the steps in and heat up to 315 degrees. And not big on Artic Fox anyway .
Interesting! I had been looking at Lance and was at an RV show a couple weeks ago and fell in love with the 25R. Was looking to downsize from my 32' Jayco 5th wheel with double slides and an island that made the kitchen inaccessible during travel. Mine is a 2024 25R. Noticed a few differences, like I have the 12v DC compressor refrigerator and my windows are awning type which I prefer because the 5th wheel had sliding windows and couldn't have them open in the rain. The build quality on my new unit is phenomenal. Like you said, very few dealers carry the Arctic Fox. My dealer hear in NC, one in PA and one in Missouri. Love being able to access everything with the slide in and it is so bright and well built. Getting ready to take it out for a shakedown trip in another week!
I really hate slide outs. Air leaks noises come in and when it rains and your packing up to leave all that water on the outside that the rain hit is now inside your rig.
I was just curious how do you adjust your water in that shower do you use your feet ??? How do you like that please let me know thank you for a great video.
The stairs are a deal breaker for us so we decided not to buy this trailer although we liked pretty much lease about it. Does anyone know how the steps could be removed and replaced with fully external steps?
If I ever get rid of my nash 17k, I’ll be getting this unit. Looks perfect. Been living in my 17k for 2 years traveling and no issues minus really small things I fixed myself. Northwood is a great brand
Thanks for your honest review. We just picked up our new Arctic Fox 22G and it is beautiful inside and out. I’m battling sciatic pain so I haven’t even been inside the trailer yet. But my wife loves it. She is the only one of us who has towed it with our Toyota Tundra. She had no problems at all. I sat in the passenger seat and I could hardly tell we were towing a trailer behind us. Anyway, your honest review certainly helped us decide to purchase the 22G. Oh, the factory installed the old style steps at our request that fit under the trailer. No hastle with those big steps that fold upright into the trailer.
My 15 nash has the same water heater, im the original owner and it still works perfectly, dont worry about it, just change the anode every year, i went nash over fox only because the nash has twice the ground clearance
I would not like the stairs either. With a triple step on the exterior you can even operate them with a foot. When you stop on the side of the road it makes things easier. Thanks for the review.
