The Ride: This Travel Trailer is Cozy Like a Fox

There once was an era when, for most RV owners, the onset of winter meant storing their rig until late spring. But manufacturers have made great strides in recent years, building trailers that can keep things toasty when the mercury takes a plunge. There’s perhaps no better example than the Arctic Fox Edge from Northwood.

The double-axle towable comes with all the amenities you’d expect from a modern travel trailer: a palatial kitchen with residential-style appliances and solid-surface countertops, a bathroom with a spacious shower and porcelain toilet and a primary bedroom boasting a king-size bed, copious storage and a separate entrance. Still, it’s the rig’s cold-weather capability that sets it apart.

“Build-quality and four-season performance are our number-one priorities,” says Donald Cochran, Northwood’s chief sales of  cer. “But with the AFox Edge we wanted to take things a little further—and it shows in its specs.”

Those specs include high-density block foam insulation, staving off chilly drafts and keeping heat inside. Reflective materials in the roof and on the slides, plus additional insulation in the ceiling, bolster those efforts. Add a 1,000-BTU auto-ignition furnace, frameless thermal pane windows and fully wrapped and heated holding tanks, and you have a travel trailer that—as its name suggests—is built for arctic conditions.

Northwood’s Iron Horse chassis serves as the platform. Custom built for each floor plan, the chassis enhances the trailer’s durability and off road chops. “We’re the only manufacturer that builds our own chassis,” Cochran says. “That allows us to have complete control over the quality and integrity of every aspect of the trailer.”

Attention to detail shines through in the Arctic Fox Edge, an RV that performs equally well on- and off-grid all year long. Regardless of what’s going on beyond those well-insulated walls, you might just think you’re staying at the actual Four Seasons.
