I know this is an old video but YES they should make a murphy bed version of this. Also changing the dinette to a breakfast bar would help make it feel more spacious and make room for a pantry on the camp side wall. Id use the generator prep for exterior storage or a mini fridge..OR maybe put a big lithium battery bank and inverter in there and take advantage of the prewiring for the generator. Great camper, great video, thanks Josh!
Ty!
If this just had a sofa instead of an uncomfortable dinette it would be a perfect couple’s camper👍
I was thinking the same thing.
Agreed!
Dinette is comfortable
@@chasinspring After 4 decades of RVing I would respectfully disagree that any dinette is as comfortable as a decent sofa or theater seating😕
@@stevez340 how comfortable is watching TV from the dinette?
I really love this brand. Arctic Fox is so old school and reminds me of the 90s floor plans I used to camp in as a kid. This is one of the last companies that truly only cares about quality and capability rather than lightweight and pretty interior’s. Great video as always Josh. And thank you for these videos!
Love having a dinette with windows over your campsite. This is very nice if you have kids outside and an adult inside, keeping an eye out. The layout is very nice.
Bed? Either is fine as we make the bed a lounge area when it's open like this anyway. The cabinets being different on either side of the bed is also desirable. I would turn party of the closet in the bathroom as a pantry. I'd probably purchase a shelf unit and modify that space. Love having the space area. Like it a lot! Thanks for sharing
A Murphy bed would make this one a real contender. The seating facing the television and extra room by getting the bed folded away. It would be hard to beat. I can easily work around the lack of pantry. In fact In some floor plans I would definitely prefer the extra counter space over a pantry
I think the bathroom closet is large enough to pull double duty as a pantry. The counter space is such a stand out feature on something this size.
Nice - I like the fixed bed but I would figure out a way to add a drop down tv over the kitchen area, get rid of the dinette and add a theater seat for rainy camping days. We tend to eat outside but I can see why this has appeal.
Dineofa would theater seat be a good optional package, very good idea
The shower controls and supply lines have to be below the bottom of the refrigerator. Josh even pointed out the fact that they are beside each other. The Murphy bed would come at the expense of lost storage and probably a lower pass through storage.
It’s nice to see a channel cover the Oregon manufacturers. Outdoor RV is another awesome trailer with multiple options (with a lot of brown). 😂.
I agree on the Murphy bed. Did you notice the light over the sewer hook ups?!! That is a rare.
Their touches are fantastic
Hahaha ,I'm trying to stay away from the browns, hah good point I like lighter and brighter interiors.
I like the open space to customize the bathroom closet.
I love your videos! I don't think this should be a Murphy bed. Who wants to make the bed every time you want to lay down? Just my thoughts! Keep these great videos coming! Thanks!
Not everyone certainly but it’s a super popular feature. I prefer the rockwood style where you don’t need to make the bed daily
..."ALL OF THE BROWNS!" CLASSIC! 👆😝 😝 😝. Really appreciate you Uncle Josh! 👍❤️
Yay, no slide! Agree - Murphy bed, please! If you're outside all day, just leave it down. If you have to be inside, the option to fold it up is nice.
YAAAAASSS!!!! A dining table on the door side!! That’s a great camper. We’ve looked one when we were out west and it’s a great line of campers!!
Very nice couple’s camper. I like the bedside storage. Nice to see that the stove has a sidesplash AND backsplash for grease. Thank you for traveling to the western states to video these.
Great trailer and company. So glad you sell these now. Cannot wait for the ORV reviews as well.
ORV is a slightly more accessible trailer, they are a little more mainstream and offer more modern interiors and touches. Where Arctic Fox is straight old school no nonsense.
@@Spoolingturbski yes sir I own one :)
I didn’t know this but they are made in Oregon. Very cool.
I really like this floor plan. It would be great if Ember would make one. No slides, no Murphy bed, no sofa 👌🏻
It's entirely possible! Sofas really seem to be their thing but they also offer dinettes wherever possible of course
I’m a solo camper. I have a Kodiak 201qb that has the same floor plan (bathroom is a bit different). I took out the booth dinette and put a single theater chair in its place. It’s now perfect for me!!!
Sounds awesome
That's a couple's TT, no need for hard wall. For a quick hitch and go TT this is really nice. Fixed bed all the way.
Hi Mr. Josh, love this trailer. Thanks for covering the western brands. Look forward to the time you finally find an ORV. Thought I do agree that the shower handles might be a deal breaker for some, I do like the no slides and ruggedness of this trailer.
I love this setup and it is awesome that they have the side splash. I personally prefer the travel trailer to not have a slide. The extra thick curtains are a nice touch.
Wow!! She’s good looking and love the floor plan. It’s weird the hot/cold is low in shower. Thanks for sharing Josh👍👍
Just got mine! Pulled her back from Oregon to Georgia with a F-150 max tow 5.0. Smooth as butta.
Nice!! Ty so much for sharing
Like the color and the layout very much. This would be the one I would choose.
Nice pick!
Great video! In spite of a couple shortcomings this has been a hugely popular model for many years and continues to be sold out a year in advance. Good for Bish’s for having the horsepower to get these as stock units.
Yeah a few "misses" here and there (many of which are preferential) but overall these are done so very well
They HAVE SHOCKS.
As a solo camper, no to the Murphy bed. Would love to change the dinette out for theater seating. THEN it's MY perfect trailer!!
Double Dinofa! I like it! :)
Josh buddy I really your new video inserts better than the stills😊😊👍👍👍👍👍This is a very nice Artic Fox Travel Trailer with no slides, something I'd seriously consider buying 😊😊👍👍👍👍👍
I’d like a Murphy, but I want a sofa there like the Grand Design 17MKE, with drawers underneath, and a table…and two dinette chairs for the other side. Then where the dinette is I want theater seats, then I want the TV moved over on the kitchen side, and a cabinet put where the tv is now. I love that closet in the bathroom. I do wish it wasn’t so dark brown, but I feel like I’m being picky asking for another color scheme because I basically rearranged everything above. This is a super cute!
That mke is a VERY good one
I like the bed particularly the walk around.
Front twins in this would be magic!
I could see it!!
@@JoshtheRVNerd they would provide more changing space for sure.
This is one of my two choices the other is it's cousin, Outdoors RV 20BD. Having a hard time finding an Arctic Fox 22G to view in the Denver area, I'll be buying one of the two next spring.
I agree with you, Josh, a murphy bed would be an improvement. We have a very similar layout in our 2018 Mini Lite 2304. Put a good murphybed in this and I would be very tempted to trade in on one.
pretty much like my last camper which I loved when I took my kids camping. the shower faucet by the floor is kinda a deal breaker tho, I don't bend down as well at my age. but for a young couple I'd be great!
Oh my gosh!! That shower is hysterical! Maybe the handles are lower so you can use your feet?? However, I think the hose will drain all the way instead of the water sitting in there, getting all nasty. Maybe?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The fox is a nicely put together trailer! It looks premium. I like the bedroom curtain divider better than a wall.
Owners rave about how well these hold up
Junction City! Haven’t been down south in 20 years. Maybe soon! Murphy for sure!
That’s a mighty fine and tough lil trailer there pahdnuh!
And I totally agree on the questionable location of the shower faucet handles.
Oh, mattress ROCKS.
Love hearing this from an actual owner. Ty!!
I agree with the other comments about the interior needing an update. There is SOOO much brown.
Very nice Coach! This would make an excellent base camp.
I would prefer the counter space over a pantry in this case as it is hard to find a decent amount of counter space in a smaller trailer.........and I could always store pantry stuff in some sort of tote if I have to. Glad to see lots of drawers and storage as well.
You are right, the position of the shower faucet leaves a lot to be desired. As I actually use the shower in my RV, this would be a dealbreaker for me. Who the heck would want to deal with that each time you take a shower. There may be some engineering reason the faucet was placed where it was, but there must be some sort of solution (especially in a high end trailer like this one) that would fix this issue.
I'll have to keep this one on my list when it is time for me to upgrade.
agree counter space is king for sure
It's just me, a kid, and a dog, so I don't need the space or want the headache of slides. I currently have a Heartland Bunkhouse. I wish the build quality of mine was as nice as this one, but otherwise it meets all of my needs. Maybe I'll upgrade to the Arctic Fox brand in the future. Anyway, I boondock a lot and absolutely LOVE not having slide outs. All I have to do is drop the stairs and I'm set up for the night!
We have a 2019 Outdoors RV 21KVS (also made by Northwood) and have LOVED its sturdiness, insulation, and comfort from WA to ME to TX and AZ and dozens of trips up & down the WA & OR coasts during the fall & winter. We are considering upgrading to a smaller 5th wheel when we go full time & are seriously considering an Arctic Fox. The one thing we strongly dislike and may be a deal breaker, tho, is the baby poop colored counter tops--expensive fix. Otherwise, Northwood Mfg products are top notch!
Great that they make their own frame. Lipert has had some issues with the manufactures they make frames for.
Yes definitely should be a Murphy bed model. It looks like a "r&d" version of the old Rockwood Mini Lite 2304, which is the rv I own and love it. This with a Murphy bed might convince me to trade in my 2304
The faucet in the bathroom is weird. I agree with you on the bathroom closet. But if I had to say one thing that would improve this camper it would be a Murphy bed. I need a couch for my tv enjoyment. That being said the bedroom is beautiful and I wouldn’t change a thing about it. Just the bed !! Thanks for the video, you make my evening ♥️
Aww thank you 🙏🏻
Artic fox and Northwood rv our great 👍
I love it and a person could boondock with this RV
Thanks Josh always fun to watch you
Thanks for watching!
Yup Murphy bed would be great in this trailer
I thought so. TY
Would like to see this as a murphy bed without being a bendy bed. Another very good looking trailer
That Murphy bed would do greatly on this unit with a couch.
That is awesome RV, but having a dinette and soda would be nice. But without a slide, I can see why. I do like the idea of the Murphy bed.
To answer your question about the Murphy bed. Granted they are a good use of space. The down side is the mattresses tend to be back breakers. They are not easily (if at all) to upgrade. They need to a seam of sorts to be able to bend or if they fold up into the wall securely, they need to be fairly thin. We looked hard & long at several and could not find a "cure".
This mattress ROCKS. SLEPT WELL.
@@chasinspringGood. Fox 22G is not a Murphy bed model. My point was about Murphy beds.
Like this one; yes! to having a Murphy bed option. Love the kitchen; want a trash can space & a small pantry area.
In the bathroom closet, would like a washer connection/set up.
Hmm.. where would you find space for a washer dryer?
Those should not generally be placed on the back of the rv btw
If that came with a Murphy bed/sofa, we would be buying one. That is the one thing keeping it a prefect camper for us.
Oh noice, they put a light just above the sewer access. Speakers up high, so the neighbors can hear you rock out!
Once I was listening to my music loudly enough my neighbor could hear it
Well they must’ve liked it because they threw a rock thru my window so they could hear it louder
@@JoshtheRVNerd 🙄🙄
I like it, even in all brown it just has a warm rich feel to it, in a travel trailer that size even the camp queen doesn't bother me.
Ty Steve
I would like this in a Murphy bed and with more solar.
Hey Josh, we have the same fingers…lol
🤚🏻
Josh: Thanks for the review of the 2022 Arctic Fox 22G. A great no slide RV. Now a few questions and observations. When can we expect this rig to be in stock at Coldwater or any of the Michigan Bish stores? There’s slam latches and magnet holdbacks on the basement doors but what looks like a common CH751 lock on the generator compartment. Why? Like the battery disconnect in the passthru. Keeps it out of weather and road hazards. It’s obvious that the shower faucets are mounted down low to accodomate people for those who turn the water on and off with their toes. It is a toe-able RV after all.😊😊😊
Is that a black tank flush behind the door just aft of thee city water connection or an outside shower? And what’s behind the locking rear door at the bottom right of the ladder? Like that the rig is rear camera prepped. And is that an LED light bar over the sewer outlet for lighting the way for midnight tank dumping? I’d vote NO on your Murphy bed question. As to the rainy day TV viewing, why would someone be inside? There’s no such thing as bad weather, only people who aren’t dressed appropriately for the weather. Besides water will dry. Or at least that's what the old CPO would say. 🤣😁🤣😁Respectfully, W.S.
You are correct fine sir, if that was a Murphy bed combination with couch I'd buy it today.. absolutely beautiful rig.
Ty
I came here for good jokes, or maybe just jokes and good information. Got both. Lol. I really like a lot if it and having no slides is a huge attraction for me, but having a good video with no fish eye so seeing the limited space and no pantry is a pretty big sticking point for me. Very glad that was pointed out. Also I'm surprised that not only for boondocking but for the less flexible of us they dont have a showermiser and faucet system higher up. Also, I am slowly getting more interested in Murphey beds after seeing how well Ember did it. Also in this case it could be another case of only lift it if you want with no slides. Thanks for the video. Was really looking forward to it and now much better informed.
Murphy bed, yes
This would be great with a Murphy bed!!
2.5 Onan is a MUST. GET ONE!
Yes to the Murphy! I like the counter space (sorry, more important than a pantry) and the extra shelf inside the cabinet over the sink! The cabinetry looks very nice, especially around the bed. And a drop in hamper? NICE. Side and back splash is wonderful. I could probably do without that skylight in the living area, another area for possible leak. Yeah the water mixing handles down that low is a first. Weird. Yes it is pricier but you know what, if you do a lot of camping as a couple or single, this is worth it!
That’s how I see it too - worth it if you’re going to be using it more often
Not a fan of a Murphy bed at all. I have an rpod 193 , the Murphy bed is the reason I'm looking for a different TT, love this artic fox!! It would be perfect if it had an outside kitchen. ❤❤ TV don't bother me, I rarely watch TV.
Fair enough. TY Lucy!
There are so few slide less high quality rv trailers. The 22G is perfect for couples looking for a high quality trailer with a walk around bed, tons of storage, and a full bath. Once upon a time, Northwood offered a fold down sofa instead of the queen bed. I’m surprised they took away this option,
Lol! Shower handles. Hahaha! Makes sure you wash your heinie before you turn off the water.
I would definitely consider this model with a good non bendy mattress murphy bed and a outdoor camp kitchen option where the generator or storage compartment is.
Non-bendy Murphy is my favorite type
Great video Josh thanks
👍🏻
Team Fixed Bed !!!
I love this model, coming in late and just finished watching. The TV could actually go on the empty kitchen wall space above the outlet and they could have it be able to pull out a bit to slightly turn towards the booth or the bed. The big closet space in the bathroom should have the option of a washer/dryer combo and to through in a few more, I think they should all offer a cassette/compostable toilet (for me I personally would rather have the extra fresh water tank and not have to deal with a black tank at all. I also think they should offer instead of the dinette booth two swivel comfy chair’s with either a center table or two separate one’s that attach to the chair’s, that way you can swivel your seat around to watch out the window. I like the Murphy bed idea IF they could make one that was flat, strait and decorative matching the rest of the wall cabinetry without the mattress folding or showing like in the 2023 FOREST RIVER Flagstaff Micro Lite 21DS and yes the shower handle is super strange 🤣. Also an optional fully loaded off grid solar package, optional 12 volt frig and optional off road package. That would be the perfect rv.
Ty
they are the best I have had ,3 first one for about 11 years
Wow! Ty for sharing Janet!
@@JoshtheRVNerd it was still in good condition when it sold used it off road camping & from Or to AZ for years
Mr Nash who started Northwood worked for John keen who had the Bounder co when He left most of the crew went with Him Mr Nash & wife were great & nice people He passed over two years ago
they started ,& ran with help from people who owned Northwood RV rally & served food at BBQ had senmars & lots of fun things they still have get-togethers near the factory in LA Grande Or
for info call factory
@@janetpagendarm9075 what’s funny? When my family’s store Haylett Auto started carrying RVs it was fleetwood we carried first and Mr Keen was our rep at the time!!
I just bought a 2010 AF 22G earlier this month. It was well used by the first owner, but for $5500, I think I did OK. The dealership had a hard time selling it due to a front frame issue. The Aframe was pushing into the body, and flexing all over the place. If you look at the design, how the Aframe connects to the frame, it starts to make sense. There isn't any leverage used. As weight is pushed down, it tries to twist the end of the frame, this is resisted by a plate that is welded between the Aframe. Putting this plate into tension on the top, and compression on the bottom. On mine, it wasn't obvious, but this plate was broken on both sides. I added a 4x4 3/16 tube below, and used some custom U bolts to pull the Aframe down. I welded it to the frame, but honestly probably wasn't needed. 1,500 miles later and its rock solid. Larger RVs use an Aframe that is welded below the frame, and a cross member above, I achieved the same result, and am still above the jacks for clearance. The interior is well built, I don't have the shower valves sticking out. Layout is pretty much the same. I will take the extra counter space over a pantry any day. I looked at the H model, and... it's strange. I like the idea of a couch, but the implementation... I like the larger walk around bed instead
Thats one helluva sunburn -- ouch!
Looks similar to the ORV 20BD. Love the reviews!
Yeah they’re sister brands with a LOT of similar ones
YASSSS!!! This is the exact layout I want. Dinette and walk-around bed. Being a solo camper, no Murphy bed for me. Not having a pantry made me hesitate, but there are similar layouts without one as well. And from what I've seen, most rv pantries have a lot of dead space requiring you to rig something up to make good use of the room. I like the idea of splitting up the wardrobe into half closet/half shelving. And what *is* up with that shower?!?! Oh...and suggestion for Bish's website: can it be designed so the filter can EXCLUDE certain features as well as look for them? Like, I would exclude bunk beds.
Plenty of "pantry" space. Remember, put wieght over wheels.
@@chasinspring True; also carry it low. That's one reason why I've liked this floorplan. I've always pictured carrying canned goods and such under the dinette. It's in the perfect spot. Maybe I need to re-think how much pantry space I need as a solo traveler.
We are not 100% happy with the new site and seriously considering basically relaunching. Ty for this idea though. Good thinking
Just wondering about the 6 volt battery's vs the 12 volt not many people on line talk about this in there videos thank you
Perfect little unit. Would like to see a murphy bed option.
I’ve loved arctic fox for a long time now, they had me at “we design & build our own chassis’s”. The build quality is just amazing. I’m probably in the minority but I vote no on the Murphy bed. Our first rig had one and it had a car bench seat feel and no arm rests and the bendy mattress was terrible. And as someone who does some pretty ambitious cooking while camping, personally I’d rather have the extra counter space. I could definitely make that overhead & under the bench storage work, heck, you can put the extra bags of chips & hotdog rolls under the bed. I have a question, does Bish’s carry Arctic Fox truck campers? I’d absolutely love to see some videos featuring those!! Thanks for another great video, I really appreciate that you’re always trying to show us something new & different.
Agree with On This Spot, I would love to see some Arctic Fox truck campers (or any nice brand if Bish's offers truck campers) Sometimes it is a better option depending on the destination
I agree no Murphy bed they just do not appeal to me can’t be comfortable almost like a hide-a-bed.
I wonder if they were thinking 'foot use' on the lower shower controls. Its great to see a heavily built trailer w/out a slide.
I actually have long “grabby toes” that could legit operate those controls
Yes to the Murphy. Nice trailer.
Ty
Love my 2021, great construction. Wish it had larger fresh and grey water tanks, 60 gallons would be nice. I threw out the propane refrigerator because it didn’t work in negative temps. I put in a 40” tv, and 60”x80” queen bed. I like the dinette because of extra storage. The shower is a good size. I use the bathroom closet for my pantry. Camped in Montana in -40* no problems
Holy cow that’s some impressive feedback regarding the weather use
Love everything in this rv ! Wish it had a 12V fridge option.
That would be cool!
A "Murphy" would allow a couch/recliner that would face the TV. I would love that just as long as it's not a "bendy" bed, so at some point I can put a better mattress there. Re: Shower plumbing, The adjustable shower head is only two bolts from the back into the hardware, it takes no space at all.
Love the wood look! Nice❤❤❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice no slide trailer and obvious super build quality. Camp queen and shower faucet knobs at the bottom.. Bummer!
So much exercise!!
OK i have been following for a good time... watch almost every video you do unless its way to big for me and the wife and maybe a kiddo. ( i did watch the 700k motor home one for a dream ) this is what im looking for, could you some how do a comparison video for no slides from say 18 to 22 feet from high end to low end. 1/2 ton towable ( and yes i know every truck is different ) I love this one but at 30k its hard to swallow. but at the same point i know its quality. Need some quality prows and cons on why buy one over another or as id say here is a size range no slides and this is what you'd recommend at a given price point. For me.. Im not a bells and whistles guy, I but the best trucks i can afford but almost always in the contractor series. No carpet, rubber floor mats, dont need heated seats or steering wheels. I go for the long run with no issues. That's why i done even want a slide just another thing to break. sorry this was so long
As you said a murphy bed.
would make it perfect.
I think the idea makes sense in this one
I agree...I'd like shelving on one side of closet area & hanging area on the other side. I love the shower glass door - handles need to be up higher though. It's there one of these without slides - that has recliners...or can you recommend 4 season couples, no slide with recliners?
I'm not aware of one meeting those qualifications
I like it just as is.
1. I dont mind all the browns. I do mind the countertop color. Ick.
2. Nit picky ... Put a hanging BAR in the closets not that thing with slots for one hanger. Hate those.
3. I never use shower but agree very odd placement of faucets.
4. Angle toilet a bit and its perfect.
Do many good things. A bit heavy tongue weight.
Really like it alot.
I have a 22 foot travel trailer with no slides that I bought brand new in 2013. IMO, it's just the right size for 2 people and a little dog. In some locations, slides will keep you out of there.
One of the mods I did was to remove the cabinet for the radio because we don't listen to a radio anyway which cleared out some floor space. The next mod was to remove the dining booth. I kept the table and just moved it 90 degrees flush with the window and use 2 folding chairs.
Honestly, we spend the day light hours exploring and the night hours just to sleep.
Ty so much for sharing!!
The plumbing is for the shower is on the outside of the wall.
That’s what I was thinking, Murphy bed yes!
ah ty :)
How about NOT being a slave to TV? This mattress ROCKS. A Murphy WOULD NOT.
Yes on Murphy bed
Hey Josh.....we all know you have some pull with the manufacturers. Can we as viewers get you to ask Northwood why they don't put Vinly Euro double pane windows in there RV'S. If they are trying to make the most energy efficient products, then why not? I don't think it is cost. Consumers would pay the difference anyway. I know I would. Also, tell them about my idea of a on demand heated membrane above the thermal barrier for their slides. I won't even ask for commission on the idea!!! 😂
Next time I chat with them over there I just might ask
