Any Artic Fox owners? Thinking of buying a 26X Silver Fox. Wondering if they are worth the $$$. $42000.00 plus tax for a 2010??

I had one of their slide in campers, I wasn't that impressed considering the cost. I don't think they are worth the premium, especially if you don't need a 4 season unit.
Buddy just bought an 06 Arctic Foc trailer at the auction for $18K, I'd look there or head south.

A few years back I was looking at the Arctic Fox's and the Corsair's, I ended up with a Corsair because it had the best layout and features to meet my style. Both are built with top notch quality and the prices reflect that. There is NO particle board in this Corsair, just real hardwoods, plywood, and aluminum framing. My Corsair dealer is local, I got a great deal and have had ZERO issues since buying it new in '06. Majority of my camping is done "off the beaten trail" other than a trip to Alaska & Yukon last year, it doesn't see many camp grounds or high grade roads. I would highly recommend a Corsair.
That being said, Arctic Fox is known for their excellent build quality and 4 season features. When I buy again I will be looking seriously at a Fox particularly if Corsair is not around or doesn't have the right features. I have owned some lesser quality units and have no interest in sacrificing quality again... "You get what you pay for".
Regarding price, look around the province, deals can be found. The dealer that sold me my Corsair now sells Arctic Fox... contact Mark @ Happy Camper RV http://www.happyrv.com/

I have a Artic Fox Camper and in my opinion they are the best. I know your looking at a trailer but the workmanship is next to none. Also there customer service is in one word awesome. I bought mine used and had no idea how everything worked and yes could of went to the dealer and paid $600 bucks but I called them and they walked me through the camper. To say the least the brand Artic Fox I'm very impressed and would not consider anything else.

I thought their customer service sucked. I had the tie downs start to pull out of my camper and Arctic Fox blew me off, never returned calls etc. I finally gave up and fixed it myself.

they put almost to much stuff in their units, like carpeted ceilings. im going with a fox valley when i buy a unit this year, a canadian company and they sell for 10k less than arctic fox. i do require a 4 season trailer, R15 walls and R27 floor and roof

Nice unit... I just bought a 26Z... can you tell me how the heck you get the front window cover to open? I was camping with 10 dudes for 6 days, and we looked at that thing every day, and could not budge it... looks simple, just pull the tabs, but i couldn't budge it with a wrench and it is only 4 months old. Other than that, I love this trailer, I had it out his winter, towing in -25C and overnight low of -36C and the water never froze

I just bought a 07 27e arctic fox trailer they have thought of everything. I did not even come close to using all the storage space they do think of almost everything comes with a good roof fan and prewired for the solar panel mount the panel and cut the hole for the controller above the radio and plug the wires in without the extra insulation and thermopane. Windows the furnace barley ever runs much better than my last trailer (keystone) were the furnace barley quit running

I had a 2006 30u I just sold last week. They are amazing trailers. Only reason I sold it was I purchased a new toy hauler. The Arctic Fox is definitely more expensive then anything out there but once you own one you know why. Had a Jayco before the Arctic Fox and wow what a cheap POS that was.

We have a 22 foot Nash(same company) and we just love our unit despite that the battery doesn't last long(electric everything) solve that probelm with a 2200 Honda quiet generator. Love the 4 season capability really extends our season!

I have an Arctic Fox 31W and my previous Trailers were a AF 25R, and before that a AF 22H. So I guess you could say I like their quality :d

nice looking set up

I'm so glad I never went with the longer trailer. The 26 is more than enough for us. Very happy with Artic Fox. Some of the little things ive noticed so far. Higher off the ground sure helps, big fridge, huge potable, grey,black water capacity, solor panel is the chit, stabelizer jacks at 45* angle helps. Being insulated for extream cold sure helps in the hi-heat too. Blacked out windows.

I have a custom order 2010 AF 22h and dealing with the factory and my local dealer in edson has been fantastic. The factory added stuff Too my trailer that were not offered as options. The quality Is superb this trailers are built strong, totally happy with my arctic fox! Overkill enjoy your new trailer.
