Arctic Fox

[Encore 280]

Anybody have an Arctic Fox travel trailer? I'm looking at buying a used 26' and just wondering about the pros and cons. Went and looked at it last night and seems to be in really good shape. Has a slide out and triple bunk. The bunk area I could use for extra storage or whatever so I think that would be handy in itself. Just thought I'd check and see if anyone has one and how they like it. Thanks

No first hand experience with them but they are high on my list of our future trailer. We have looked at alot of trailers in the past year. The fit and finish in them ( Nash and Black Rocks )compared to others is very obvious. They seam to hold there value better also.

This one I'm looking at is an '08 and original owners. Been in the garage for the last 3 years. Everything seemed to be in order and well taken care of and non smokers. The only bad thing is I have a 25' Rainier sitting in my driveway. Can't decide if I should unload the Rainier then look for another Arctic Fox to come along or get the AF and then hopefully unload the Rainier. Decisions, decisions. Spose I could make a double wide.

I have had 3 of them, they are awesome rigs. I had a 2004 25', 2008 26' silver fox edition and now have a 2014 25y model.  Never had to replace or fix a single thing on any of them.  And, they do hold their value more than other makes.

Good luck!

I guess it's a done deal then. Thanks for all the info, I appreciate it!

Nash/Arctic Fox trailers are some of the higher quality trailers out there and their owners tend to stick with the brand, like me.  They all have their issues from time to time but I wouldn't hesitate purchasing one in good shape as long as the price is good.  I would ask if they lived in it.  If someone lived in it, I would stay clear of it.

It's been parked inside his garage for the last 3 years. I'm just hoping my F150 will haul ok. He said it weighs just over 6k and my 25' Rainier weighs in at over 7k so I'm hoping we're good to go. I'll find out after I hook up to it and get underway.

Arctic Fox is a good brand. There's a reason you don't see a lot of them on the used market.

Been noticing a few of them delaminating lately. Really surprised me. Saw 1 today in fact. The front was pretty bad. Look it over close.

Older ones? This one is an 08 and has been kept inside or under cover but I'll check it out tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up.

They looked like older models to me. Might do a google search and see if there were certain years that these issues. Seems like a lot of manufacturers dealt with it. I think I saw they use a cardboard type liner that got damp and separated.

I had an 07 Arctic Fox camper for 8 years.  Loved it.  Great in the cold...the very cold.  Well built.  Great systems.
Had to sell it to fit all the kids in a bigger trailer.
When the kids move out, I will be trading the trailer back in for an Arctic Fox camper.

I had a 2001 22'. Had it for several years with no issues at all, towed like a dream, well insulated, comfortable etc. After about 8 years I sold it to a buddy and he still has it to this day, he said he had to get the refer fixed a few years ago but that's it.

The difference in weight between my Rainier and the Fox has me bewildered. The Rainier is 25' total length from very back to tip of tongue and weighs a little over 7,000. The Fox is 26' from back to front of body not including the tongue and weighs a little over 6,000. Must be different materials or something, I don't know. The AF just seems more massive than the Rainier.
