We are a consumer based company that rates Northwood RV's in North America. Our rating guides feature Northwood travel trailers, toy haulers, fifth wheels and motorhomes; Class A & Class C.
We were not able to speak with Northwood Manufacturing but I wanted to include them in this guide. The companys website does provide some information, which I am including in this article. Ron Nash, and his wife, Sherry, started building RV travel trailers in 1994. Their goal was to build quality trailers with the hopes of having enough time to spend traveling. What started out as a small business adventure has turned into a thriving business with two factories.
The first factory is located in La Grande, Oregon and the second factory was opened in 2001 located in Winchester, Virginia.
From an article I recently read about the company Ron, started out as a general manager in the RV industry and then moved into the roll as production manager. This gave Ron the experience and knowledge to start his own company. During this time many RV manufacturers were striving to cut RV prices and costs by resorting to cheaper and sometimes flimsier materials. Ron went in the opposite direction, figuring there would be a market for sturdy, durable and well-insulated RVs, particularly in Canada and in the NW. His intuition paid off and now, Arctic Fox is known around the world as a quality product with a high degree of craftsmanship at affordable prices.
