Recently purchased a Northwood 235 RLS Fox Mountain. Was sold as a "true 4 season" unit. We have been living in it full time in Helena Montana where the temps got down to -38! Stayed a comfortable 70 degrees inside with no issues whatsoever. Very impressed with the build quality, livability, comfort. I really can't say enough about this unit. We will be Northwood customers for life.

Bought the unit new in 2017. Overall decent quality except for the manufacturer missing about 2 inches of seal in the corner of the slide. Water was infiltrating slowly into the corner of the slide from day one resulting in rotting the corner. We had to have the slide totally rebuilt at a cost of over $8000 CAD. Also it always towed like a pig. Very unstable, crappy factory tires and no shocks. On the positive, we were able to camp at -25C with no problem with the water not freezing anywhere.

I have had many RVs. Very high-end models. This Nash 24B is one of the best coaches I’ve ever had. Combined with an off-road chassis, large solar panel, generator, large propane tanks and incredible storage inside and out coupled with top-of-the-line, solid wood cabinetry. Most every RV travel trailer and fifth wheel are” earthquakes on wheels” . This requires you to tighten up and re-screw things on a regular basis. Because of the chassis with leaf Springs and shocks, we’ve never had to do this. The floor plan is well thought out. Separate bedroom, dining table, conversion, and bunkbeds. Make this Coach very comfortable for six people. The cabinet space and counter space are better than any coach I have ever seen for a 24 foot model. The slide out is 4 foot deep making it very big and comfortable to full-time. It’s a Boondock model. We can Boondock for 10 days lavishly without having to go back to the store. Major Glamping. Very sophisticated model built in Washington. We traveled from Florida 3500 miles to acquire this. I don’t know of any other full-time RV that you can rock crawl down riverbeds to your destination, other than with this coach.

This fifth wheel is easy to tow. The links makes it manageable. It has plenty of storage space with easy access. The slide out in the living room dining room area makes working n the kitchen comfortable. underneath a queen size bed you will find plenty of storage for things that you will need to take along on your trip. This RV has great insulation, which helps with heating and cooling. Equipped with an RV airflow system helps in keeping the air conditioner distributing air, evenly and efficiently.

Looking at the specs, the Northwood Nash 17K seemed the best for our 3-season use. We bought a new 2022 one, after it sat more than a year on the dealer lot. It came stripped from some parts, apparently used to retrofit other trailers. Many manuals were missing. Electrical: 0 out of 5 Trouble since first night, as the Jensen DVD/radio LCD was brightly shining over the bed, even when switched off. The solar controller, Zamp ZS30-A, also installed above the bed, flashes for several minutes at sunrise, not a bug, just a poorly chosen location for placing it. Do Northwood Nash ‘Engineers’ ever sleep in their developments? The 75Ah deep cycle group 24 battery discharges completely overnight, after full charge, even when everything is disconnected. Seems this trailer features many ‘dormant’ loads like detectors, radio, antenna, 2-way fridge. A single battery is not enough for this “Off The Grid” trailer. …The ‘generator box’ is small, meant only for an Onan 2.5k. Unnecessary number of bright LED lamps (6 in + 6 out) for a small trailer. Plumbing: 3 out of 5 It is hard to find where the taps for winterizing are located with the manual, written for all Nash trailers, 5th wheels and campers, not just ours. After some spelunking, we found the antifreeze tube hidden under the fridge, and that a drawer needs to be removed to access it. We did not experience other issues, beside the blinking lights when the pump is running. Furniture: 3 out of 5. Quite some sawdust dropped from the furniture as we travelled. Over torqued screws went loose and were replaced by larger ones. The edges on the hardwood shelving by the bed were very sharp, and needed sanding to avoid injuries. Not so well crafted… The thick spring mattress too wobbly, unpleasant as it is not a walk around bed. Construction: 2 out of 5 There are rust bubbles on the A-frame, as the thin painting was done without adequate prep. As the door got wobbly, it started to show a half inch gap without insulation between the door and the wall. The door polyester shows 3” bubbles – delamination outside and inside. Another gap blows cold on the side of the bed. The bug meshes for windows are not built ‘square’ and do not fit. The ‘generator box’ is not airtight with the cabin, we patched the gaps inside to avoid smells coming from the jerrycan stored in it. The power jack rated for 3500lb max, as this trailer is 7400lb loaded (the jack needs also to lift the rear of the tow vehicle for easier fitting the WDH). Floor plan 3 out of 5 For 4 seasons use, we do not want a slide out, and the Nash 17k is one of the few insulated trailers without slide. After several weeks of use, we find the bathroom rather wide and would have instead preferred a somewhat larger passage by the range. The storages under the beds are difficult to access, with the heavy/thick mattresses. Appliances and others: 4 out of 5 The fridge is only a two-way not a three-way, contrary to what is stated in the manual. The fridge doors are not level, need adjustment. BTW Nice to have ample propane tanks. Furnace is OK, even its control by the tiny thermostat is not practical.

I bought this Unit new and looked forward to all season RVing. Previously I RV'd in a Northern Lite that served us very well but climbing in/out of the bunk got to be a real challenge at 3 AM thus the move to Artic Fox. After a year we've found the ceiling light lenses vibrate lose and fall to the floor, but my biggest complaint is the Propane Locker...it takes an average of 30 minutes to put refilled propane tanks in the locker and get the door to close. The propane locker is too tight for the tanks to fit properly. When you attempt to close the door the latch on the door hits the tank and won't latch. The locker is poorly engineered causing a safety concern if the latch fails during an emergency stop or a quick maneuver to avoid a hazard.

We had 14 defective issues after inspecting our 2020 AF. .. interior and exterior. We brought our 5th in for service and they were able to address 10 problems. But not the most costly 4. Northwoods would not cover them. I called and had to leave messages that they never returned! They simply do not answer the phone!! Also, there were cosmetic issues.. chalk and glue smeared everywhere!! A big gash on the bathroom floor from what looked like a heavy tool that fell on it, and was filled will putty. .. the kind that doesn't harden! Puckered carpet in 2 areas. .. and more! Now, 3 years later, the water and waste sensors don't work! So we have no idea what level our tanks are! Our automatic leveling Jack's don't work, a bar broke on the main slide-out, and needs welding. These campers are very expensive compared to 'average' units!! One would expect quality and customer service to be top priority to the company (Northwoods)! But that is far from!! We never would have bought one of these campers, had we known!!

If you looking for the best all around fifth wheel, for a couple, this is it. Looking at construction and overall livability, it's hard to beat. As for being a 4 season camper, it's up there, if not the best in class. Floor plan makes it roomy, with high ceilings, and has a walk around bed. Storage capacity has never been an issue. Driving it is simple due to size and the custom built frame and suspension. It's under 30 feet and can get into just about every private, state, and national park campsite. We have dry camped in this for 5 days, using the shower daily, without issue. It took us a year to purchase it as we compared it to the competition and Arctic Fox has kept it's design virtually the same since its inception. Many competitors have copied the floor plan, but not the quality of the product. Definitely a great, long term investment in RV camping.
