Northwood Manufacturing reviews

We bought it used and love the space and nice layout. Lots of room with huge pantry, nice separation of bedroom and living area. Nice bathroom and big hot water heater for a nice shower. Walk around bed with lots of storage underneath. We haven't used it in hot weather, but have in cold and it stays warm and no problem with water pipes. Show less

What do I like about this Camper??? The Opposing Slide Outs ~ The Center Island ~ The Ample Storage Space~ The Great Lighting ~ The Fireplace ~Ease of Cleaning ~ The Outdoor Shower ~ The Size Having opposing slide outs gives you more room than typical campers-makes it easy to move around- No claustrophobic feeling at all. With the table /chairs & recliner loveseat seating you are able to have company while you cook/entertain very comfortably. The Center Island has a sink and big counter which makes cooking, cleaning, and serving meals as well as displaying flowers very homelike. This island truly is an asset. It has tons of storage cabinets too! Speaking of cabinets- There are many cabinets inside the unit as well as storage areas outside the unit. The Kitchen/Dining/Living area has more than ten cabinets. The center island has cabinets at the center under the sink, another just to the left for the garbage (you can access it through the counter with a removable insert if you desire) Furthermore on each end of the island there is a pull-out cabinet shelf unit too. A large pantry cabinet with three big shelves for all your food, paper supplies, etc. And two side cabinets for your use. You have three big drawers under the counter next to the oven/stove top/microwave area. Above another cabinet for dishes/cups/glasses. The oven has an oven drawer too. Over the recliner loveseat you have more cabinets to store items. There is also a lift up seat in the loveseat for storage. In the bathroom, there are three cabinets. One huge, a big one, and one under the sink. Plus, a medicine cabinet and a drawer too! All have shelving to utilize efficiently. Plenty of room for towels, lotions, Q-tips, paper goods, and more. The shower has a hand-held shower wand perfect for getting in all those hard-to-get places with ease. The bedroom has big cabinets on either side of the bed as well as over the bed, with shelving. One side additionally has a small table with a drawer. The head board is very functional. Charging USB plugs as well as electrical plugs too. The shelf is great for books, tissues, phones etc. The bed lifts up to reveal a huge storage area with a small safe. We added hooks to hang coats, hats, and other items on two of the walls-More storage!! The TV turns to either face the living area or the bedroom. The TV/Music receiver console has full power, USB adapters and three-zones of speakers-Living Area/Bedroom/Outside. The Fireplace is wonderful for ambiance as well as heat. Used many times to warm-up the unit on cool mornings/days. Works efficiently. The lighting in this camper is well thought out. LED/sconces/over the table + counter/extras at cabinets to see inside/ small directional ones to use in the living area as well as bedroom. With a few skylights to further light. A few of the outside storage areas have lights too! Cleaning is easy with the vinyl flooring. It is plank style-looks like real wood. Brooms and mops effortlessly. The Outside Shower~ Hot & Cold Water ~ When you come home from the beach or riding your UTV in dust all day you’re able to get the main dirt off you before you enter your camper. Works great on dogs too! The size of this unit makes it very easy to pull and maneuver about the camp ground, gas stations, and parking lots. This camper is bigger than it looks. Show less

I love our Arctic Fox! It is warm and cozy, very well made. Had everything we needed in a perfect little package. Tons of storage. Light enough to tow with our Toyota Tacoma. It has a well-equipped kitchen with oven, stove, microwave, refridgerator, and separate freezer. Two mounts for a TV, and a spacious shower. Show less

I was looking to upgrade my camper trailer with specific objectives in mind: 1. to be able to get further off-grid in BLM land where the terrain is rougher 2. to be able to be out earlier and later in the shoulder seasons when the weather is colder I chose this model for the following reasons: 1. it is still smaller and lighter for towing off-road 2. the floor plan is comfortable for 2-4 people and the dining area is the best with windows on three sides and the full back wall is window! 3. it comes with an off-road package and four-season package with additional insulation, tank heaters, higher clearance, more aggressive shocks and tires and aluminum frame I pulled this comfortably behind a Chevy Colorado and could go everywhere I wanted. I love this model! Show less

We've owned our 2024 Arctic Fox 25Y for just about one year. After camping in it for one quarter of the year, we have yet to experience any problem, yes, not one problem (knock on wood). Of course this is a heavy trailer, having 2" walls and lots of insulation. We thought it would be harder to tow. Sure, our truck has to work a bit harder to haul a heavier rig. However, the extra weight reduces how much the trailer moves and bounces while traveling on rougher roads. This reduced movement really seems to contribute to the trailer holding up really well after 90+ days and 8000 miles. The floor plan and features are well thought out work well. My only minor gripe would be the small and low quality TV. We swapped the original for a 43" 120v TV and it fits perfectly and is so much easier to watch. We were very pleasantly surprised how well insulated and quiet this trailer is. Compared to our 2022 Airstream ( not exactly apples to apples) this rig stay cooler longer and is noticeably quieter. Again, thicker walls and better insulation. Another item we love about this trailer is the large amount of exterior storage available. This has allowed us to carry more in the trailer and less in the tow vehicle. Overall, I am a big fan of the quality and features of Northwood products, contributing to how well they hold up and how comfortable they are. I wish RV manufacturers would stand behind their products longer. When spending more that twice the price of a car you should get a product that comes with one third of the warranty. Show less

I bought this during the pandemic and it was hard to get this model (or any other for that matter). I wanted this particular unit for its size, floor plan, ability to go offroad and support for four-season camping (or at least the shoulder seasons). We happened to find this as a dealer that didn't realize they had it on their lot. There were a few things wrong from the beginning but the service was good in getting it road-ready. Additionally, i added a number of upgrades to extend its ability to stay off-grid. The trailer is great four 2-4 people. You can spend weeks in it with two.... four may get a bit cramped after a few days. Tank sizes, augmenting fresh water with jerry cans, allows me to stay out two weeks before I need to come in for a dump. This year's model has all aluminum frame so it pulls and handles well. There could be better quality in the windows and shades or cabinetry. It does seems to leave a little more pixie dust on the counters after pulling all day than my previous trailer but the previous trailer was not appropriate for getting out on BLM land or shoulder season so this was a good upgrade for the intended purpose.

We love our camper with the professional install on our truck and the many extras the Colorado dealership did for us. This was the lightest self-contained camper on the market at the time. Our camper on our 2012 Tundra is at the maximum axle rating for our vehicle according to the dealership we bought it from, but way over the suggested bed weight. So with air shocks and heavy duty tires we were told it would be safe. We have had zero problems with the weight with over 80,000 miles of enjoying road trips all over the USA. Warranty with the company has been lacking from day 1. After about a month of ownership I noticed de-lamination on the exterior siding. The factory rep shrugged it off by saying “It was like that when you bought it”. There are more spots now after 11 years. My main complaint is the need to re-caulk the seams every 2 years, as the contraction and expansion splits the seals. Secondly the rear tie-down points are a bad location, as they actually pull the corner down and create the bottom metal seal to drop down and the siding pops out, creating a water leak. We have removed our back jacks and use the sturdy corner brackets as the anchor points for the tie-downs. We leave the front jacks on to be lowered, and keep the camper from rocking when moving around inside while camping. Show less

Beautiful RV with a lot of floor space for our big dogs. Loved the arched roof and the 4 season capability. The layout was designed by someone who had spent a lot of time camping as it is very livable. A boondocking dream. The camper is very heavy we used a 1 ton dually to handle the load. Extra equipment is needed on the truck to manage the sway on uneven or crowned roads. Loved the big 2 way fridge and all of the electrical and power stations. The Onan generator is loud and some newer models have replaced with a quieter model. Show less

Absolutely Love this model and year! So easy to maneuver and camp with!!! All season and has generator plus solar panels… LOVE! Bunk area can be used for storage under neath and plenty of storage inside and outside! Would not get rid of this and will keep for my kids to have. Show less

This is the best travel trailer made. It’s designed to be off the grid with tons of solar power, generator, large propane tanks, and it’s all season coach. I’ve been RVing for 30 years and know a lot about them. The suspension on this has shocks and leaf springs. There is more cabinet space and counter space and very luxurious. I have zero issues with it. Show less
