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

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. Show less

So this review is a follow up to my last review with regards too the Norcold Refrigerator....i had to replace the entire cooling unit...my unit didn't survive a freezing winter being plugged into shore power. Something else I have learned...not sure this is by design or a design flaw but you cannot use the slide out even if you are plugged into shore power without the batteries hooked up....has to have 12v and won't receive 12v from the converter. Another resent failure was my highly rated Dexter axel brakes.. they failed after about 6k miles. The brake linings have separated from the brake shoe damaging one drum...all brakes had to be replaced. On a positive note the couch is well made but some major parts have failed way too soon for a highly rated new trailer. Show less

This coach is very comfortable and easy to use and travel in. Dealer was great thru the purchase and one warranty issue. Will never buy a product with Norcold again, not a good word to say about the way they handled a warranty issue. Show less

The Northwood Arctic Fox 811 is full of features and quality that should be in a truck camper. It is pretty tall though, and being a shorter older guy,it is difficult to reach the propane tanks for refilling. I would like to see a connection to fill the tanks in place. That said it is fine for a younger person or a tall person to reach and manage. The camper is otherwise equipped with lots of thoughtful ideas to make camping fun. Quality is first rate and will last many years. Its time for me to pursue other plans and let someone else enjoy this Arctic Fox 811. Show less

So I bought this trailer in Dec 2019...I have 3 main issues:..#1.this isn't an all weather trailer without some important modification s...the black and grey tanks don't come with heated tanks...unless you order from the factory..tanks have to be removed to install the heat tape....#2..the lower end refrigerator by Norcold shuts down in very cold or hot weather..(now i inow why only a 1 year warranty)...they don't tell you that in the manuals but the engineers know it..its a big problem if you use your trailer alot....temps above 90° or below 30° you will have problems.. freezing spots in the refrigerator part or temps above 40° to no refrigeration at all...#3... you cannot dry camp more than 3 days because the batteries won't make it....the refrigerator won't work or the propane heater won't operate without 12volts...so you need to leave your vehicle connected to recharge your trailer batteries or buy a generator...this model doesn't come with one on board..not an option..(big mistake).. you will need solar power or both. The malfunctioning refrigerator is the most frustrating... moving food in and out of it while camping... major pain-in-the-ass...So to sum it up this trailer isn't an all-weather trailer as advertised without serious add-ons...I don't know what to do about the refrigerator...is barely over one year old.

I did my research before buying the Nash. There is a lot of junk being built out there these days and the reviews reflect that. The Northwoods products had high praise and return buyers, so I made the plunge. I have not been disappointed. I drove this trailer from coast to coast and it took great care of me. Everything worked as it should, it handled well in the mountains, and kept me warm in below zero weather. The build quality is good and in 7000 miles of traveling I haven't had to make any repairs or have warranty work done. After hearing all the nightmare stories of other brands and seeing how cheaply comparable trailers were built, I am glad I spent the extra money for the Nash. You get what you pay for. Pros: Good build quality, stable with shocks on the axles, Perfect length- didn't have to unhitch at most pullthrough sites, 4 seasons, big holding tanks, prewired solar Cons: No dealers nearby, a bit more expensive than comparable sized trailers. I would recommend this trailer with no hesitation and buy a Northwoods product in the future. Show less

Overall really great camper. Bought new and had minimal defects but working with Northwood for the warranty work was super easy. Lots of counter space for the kitchen, the dinette was moderately comfortable but its gets a little cramped with the table sticking so far out (wish you could move the table to more places). Really enjoyed this camper, fits perfectly on 3/4 ton truck Show less

This was a perfect fit for a post-divorce situation. The truck camper with box trailer combo makes for a sustainable platform that is fit for RV park or on the beach. I used an 8x10 box Toy Hauler trailer for a box my Harley, freezer, workbench, and oversized patio furniture and off-season clothes. The combo was perfect for keeping dirt and sand out of the living and cooking space. The floor plan was great for a home office situation. The gas stove was effective, but I found an instapot with an air fryer lid solved all bachelor cooking needs. Having the chest freezer in the trailer made space for daily needs in the onboard fridge/freezer. The Artic Fox 990 was comfortable in the sub zero temps of Colorado and the summer heat of Phoenix. The wet bathroom was a real plus! It made for easy clean-up and shaving was a breeze. I installed a bidet that really conserved water and reduced toliet paper needs. The medicine cabinet was adequate, but it was simple to hang simple storage nettings and Command Strip style caddies under the shower controls. 6 gallons of hot water was ample for two people, especially since the bidet help keep up with daily hygene requirements.
