Arctic Fox RV Problems (Truck Camper, 5th Wheel, Slide Out)

  • October 18, 2023 /
  • By James V.

Before you get upset, a ll RVs and trailers will have problems. Some are normal issues that come to everyone. Other issues are due to poor quality construction and a lack of craftsmanship. When you buy an RV or trailer, expect things to go wrong.

One of the biggest problems reported by Arctic Fox owners is delamination. This is caused by water being able to leak behind the exterior wall. It seems to be a common problem with most Arctic Fox trailers. Sealing the leaks and repairing the problem is your only fix.

To learn more about Arctic Fox RV problems, just continue to read our article. It explores the topic so you have the best information possible. Also, repair advice is given to help get you started in this process and solve your problems.

Arctic Fox travel trailer problems

Arctic-Fox-travel-trailer-problems

The first thing to say is that not every travel trailer owner will encounter all of the same problems as other travel trailer owners. The issues you face may be common to you and a few others but not to everyone.

Here are some of the problems that a few owners have experienced:

1. The shower floor had too much flex- this allowed water to leak under the floor and ruin the subflooring.

2. Bathroom plumbing is not sealed properly- this can also cause some water issues with your travel trailer. The problem is where the plumbing goes through the floor.

3. Wires at the hitch not protected- this is one complaint from one owner who found that his wires were not strapped into place and were vulnerable to anything the road sent their way.

4. The shower leaked- not the floor but the faucet and pipes. This type of leak can cause mold and mildew to grow behind the shower surround. If the surround is more than one piece, you may find that they are not sealed properly either.

5. Microwave magnetron failure- will not work if the voltage of the outlet it is plugged into is too low. If the microwave burns out then replacement is the only fix.

6. Water heater failure- This would be a problem for the manufacturer of the water heater and not Arctic Fox. You would have to call that company but see if your warranty is still valid before you do that.

7. Unprotected light switches- these were not installed properly and moving items may turn off the switches or damage them. If the company doesn’t repair this problem it will be left up to you to find a suitable solution.

8. Break pads and tire wear- at least one owner reported these two problems. It seems that both sets wore out long before they were due to expire. There are many reasons why this would take place. Replacing them is your only repair.

Arctic Fox 22G Problems

Some of the problems already listed in the previous section will apply to this Arctic Fox model. Here are some other common problems you may have run into already or may run into soon.

1. Electric jacks failure- this is more of a wiring problem than anything else. Check your electrical sources, and fuses, and also use a multimeter to see if power is reaching the jacks.

2. Thin shower floor- we reported this one earlier but it bears repeating. You will need to add another layer of plywood underneath the floor to shore the shower floor up.

3. Cabinet doors warp- this seems to be a fairly common problem and unfortunately, if you do not want to sand those doors, you can only replace them.

4. The sink drain is slow or very poor- there could be a clog or a problem with the pipes. You can first try to clear the clog and if that is not the problem you may have to re-route the drain pipe

5. The stove glass top is crooked- you can try to solve the problem by removing the glass and re-positioning the hinges. Or you can use shims to straighten the glass out.

6. The fireplace not working- since the fireplace is not real, this would be an electrical problem. Check all electrical sources to see where the problem lies. At worst, you may have to re-wire the fireplace.

7. Slide-out misaligned- you may have to reset the mechanism or you may have to clean out the rails. Or one of the motors may be failing. This may be something for a professional to diagnose

8. Glass stove top may crack- these glass shields do not resist heat and can crack if you put something hot on them. If you are under warranty you will have to go to the stove maker to get a replacement

Arctic Fox 30U Problems

Arctic-Fox-30U-Problems

Most of the above problems will occur in the 30U and we will try to highlight some that have not already been mentioned. The first thing we need to say is that the very early models, around 2005 to 2008, were well-built and most owners had nothing but good things to say about them.

1. Water leaks- this will occur around the front window. It may not be sealed correctly thus water gets in and starts to create rot, delamination, and other water-related problems.

2. Clearance lights issues- some owners have warned against the lack of sealant used on the rooftop lights. This error has caused many leaks for different owners as well as other problems. Make sure the light fixtures are all sealed and tightly screwed in place.

3. Slide topper- If you already have one it can get ripped, torn, or have holes put into it. You may have to change the fabric to keep the protection level at peak levels.

4. Furniture problems- this is more of a preference than a real problem. Some owners prefer to order their 30U with a Jackknife sofa as it gives them more storage space. Other owners went with a sofa hide-a-bed for comfort. If you buy used this may be a problem if you like one but not the other.

5 . Appliance failures- This can happen in any trailer or RV. If there is a problem with one of the appliances, you have to go to the individual appliance manufacturer to get any results.

Arctic Fox Fifth Wheel Problems

As we said for the 30U, you can expect to see some of the previous problems crop up in your 5th-wheel trailer. You may or may not see all of them or they may not all show up for years. Here are some issues not already discussed:

1 . Roof damage- This seems to be a common occurrence with 5th-wheel trailers when you park your trailer under the direct sun. The extreme heat seems to loosen the glue used by the manufacturer.

If you start seeing bubbles, it could cost in the thousands to have the roof repaired or replaced.

2 . Electrical issues- It has been reported that the 5th wheel electrical system will begin to fail if you do not get enough voltage to it. This problem may be due to faulty wiring or a defective battery.

Use a multimeter or a volt meter to see if this is the case. Other electrical problems may be fuses, loose connections, and so on.

3. Weak exterior walls- Delamination will always be a problem especially if there are leaks in the wall or the clearance lights. The sun’s heat can also wreak havoc on these walls.

Parking in the shade and sealing up any leaks help solve this issue before it starts.

4. Interior issues- it seems that the 5th wheels are not as strong as claimed. You may find many different interior issues will appear depending on the roads you travel.

For example- broken interior walls, water pump problems, plumbing leaks, and so on. Fixing these immediately after you spot them is the best option you have. The fix depends on the problem.

5. Tire issues- if you do not balance the weight inside, or put inferior tires on the axles, you will run into this problem. When the tires wear out quickly, check your axles, check how you load the cargo, and check the weight rating of the tires to make sure they can handle the load.

Buy top-quality tires to make sure they will last a long time. Also, watch the roads you travel as trailers and tires are not always right for many rough roads.

Arctic Fox Truck Camper Problems

Arctic-Fox-Truck-Camper-Problems

The same introduction as the previous section applies here. You will find that the common problems with one Arctic Fox RV seem to appear in all of the models and brands this company makes.

1 . Toilet issues- the symptoms of a toilet problem will be seen or smelled first. These symptoms include clogged drains, blocked vents, and black water tank or fresh water tank issues.

The only thing you can do is clear the clogs and blocks. Or you may have to change the seal to stop the smell from entering your camper.

2 . Sink problems- the symptoms will be similar to the toilet problem but you won’t have to worry about the odor. Check the drains for clogs and if there is one, use the appropriate solutions to remove that clog.

Then check for any leakage in the plumbing or faucets. You may have to replace connections, valves, or the faucet to stop the leaks.

3. Tires and brakes- For tires, you need to make sure you have the ones rated for the right load level on your axles. Tires that are not rated for the weight will blow out on you quickly.

Furnace Problems Arctic Fox Campers

There are a wide number of sources for this appliance. One could be the sail switch if your furnace has one. If it goes bad, your furnace will still operate but you will not get any heat.

Other sources may be electrical, the thermostat, or the control panel. Each one can be faulty and normally would require replacement of the latter two items or a fuse. Don’t forget to check the breaker to see if it tripped or not.

If the device is gas operated, check the electrical components, then all gas-related components like the burner sensor, pilot light, and so on.

Arctic Fox Camper Slide-Out Problems

Arctic-Fox-Camper-Slide-Out-Problems

Slide-out issues are common problems for many RV owners. This could be a case of the slide being out of alignment with the rails. Or the problem may be with the electrical system. Loose connections, broken wires, or no power are the most common sources for the slide to not work.

Or the motors or one of the motors has failed on you. All of these problems you will find in just about any brand of RV that makes RVs, trailers, and truck campers with slides. The solutions will be the same and you need to contact the slide-out maker to get those solutions.

Arctic Fox Bathroom Door Problem

One of the problems that occurs with many bathroom doors will be the hinges. Since RV makers use the cheapest materials possible it is no surprise that the hinges break or even the trim they are attached to break.

Your only solution will be to replace the hinges or the trim whichever is broken. The other issue will be the strength of the door. To save weight, your door may not be that strong and can break very easily.

Your only repair here would be to replace the door.

Some Additional Words

No matter what brand or type of RV you buy, including Arctic Fox , you will run into the same common problems as more experienced owners. The fixes are usually as common as the problem and apply to all RV models.

The best thing to do when you are still under warranty is to call the company for help. However, the Arctic Fox warranty seems to have been shortened to one year. You may not get the help you expect from the company.

6 Most Common Problems with Arctic Fox 22G  

The Arctic Fox 22G, produced by Northwood and independently certified, features a completely welded, thick-wall aluminium frame and an off-road chassis for years of wonderful journeys!

This Arctic Fox 22G is the smallest of the family, at only 23′ 10″ tall. Despite its size, it still has many of the brand’s most important features. You may also experience some of the most common problems with this RV.

USB port failure, microwave magnetron failure, shower leak, water heater failure, furnace refusing to work, and unprotected switches are some of the most common issues.

I’ll go over the symptoms and treatments for these conditions. Continue reading to find more about the challenges and concerns with the arctic fox 22G RV.

Problems and Solutions at a Glance

Table of Contents

Common Problems with Arctic Fox 22G and the Solutions

Take a closer look at the issues I outlined initially:

1. USB Port Failure

It’s most likely a faulty USB portal or a loose connection. Over time, crimped or older wires tend to break down, causing your outlets to stop working as efficiently as they once did.

If your USB outlets suddenly cease working in the middle of a journey, your electrical circuits may have been damaged or failed.

It is not operating due to several factors, the most common of which is a loose connection and faulty wiring. If not, the problem might be with the fuse panel.

If it doesn’t appear that debris or dirt has rendered your RV USB outlet unusable, consult an expert to determine the extent of the damage.

You should first reset your breaker, next repair the damage and replace your broken outlet, and then invest in new wiring.

It’s advisable to replace your USB port if it’s broken. If you’re doing the work yourself, make sure you disconnect your RV from all power sources.

2. Microwave Magnetron Failure

In this RV, the microwave does not always operate. The microwave will not work correctly in that outlet if the voltage is too low. However, this might be a problem with the pedestal outlet where your RV is hooked in.

Magnetron failure is the most common cause of this problem. To cook food, a magnetron employs high voltage to create microwave frequency. The magnetron will burn out if the microwave is switched on when it is empty.

This problem can also occur if your microwave is hooked into a malfunctioning socket that isn’t supplying enough electricity.

Try connecting your RV to another outlet if possible, since the problem might be there.

Because a burnt magnetron cannot be restored, it must be replaced. Malfunctioning diodes, capacitor burn, a faulty door switch, and transformer failure are all possible reasons for this problem.

Check the power source that the microwave is connected to. You have the option of purchasing an RV-specific appliance or a domestic microwave if you need to replace your RV microwave.

To avoid the problem, make sure you select the proper wattage.

3. Shower Leak

Some customers of the Arctic Fox 22G complained about the RV’s shower leaking.

The weight of an adult pushing down on the shower pan causes it to bend in most RV shower pans.

The bending between the drain and the shower pan will allow the water to spill if there is any looseness.

The simplest method to solve a shower leak is to start with the most basic issues.

It’s possible that all you have is a loose connection that has to be tightened, or that some caulk has a hole in it.

If your RV is still under warranty, simply take it to the nearest authorized dealer or repair shop and have the problem fixed by trained mechanics.

4. Water Heater Failing

If you don’t have enough hot water or have problems with water temperature fluctuations, it’s possible that your water heater is not working.

You may notice a reduction in water flow and hear some alarming noises at times.

Due to the presence of an electric heater in this RV, the cause might be as simple as a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.

If the propane water heater of the Arctic Fox 22G isn’t operating, the first thing to search for is blown fuses.

Then, after diagnosing a defective water heater thermostat, replace the thermostat switch. You may either investigate and fix a defective power switch yourself or hire an expert.

5. Furnace Malfunctioning

Due to a problem with the sail switch, it’s not unusual for an RV furnace fan to operate but generate no heat.

Whether your furnace won’t come on, first check to see if the filter is clean. Filters that are dirty result in inadequate airflow, which might prevent the furnace from starting.

A damaged flame sensor might be the cause of your furnace’s failure to ignite. Low battery voltage is one of the issues that might arise.

The battery power is insufficient or the furnace fuse being blown are both probable causes of ignition failure. If your propane or gas furnace won’t light, it might be because you don’t have enough propane or your gas valve won’t open.

First, make sure your RV’s house batteries are in good condition or not. Also, make sure the voltage is sufficient.

Make sure your filter is clean and free of debris if the damage is too much then replace it.

Examine the propane level and, if necessary, refill it. It’s recommended to have an RV propane regulator assist you to adjust the pressure in your propane tank.

6. Unprotected Switches

Customers were irritated by the exposed switches, which is the manufacturer’s fault.

The switches in the cabinet were unsecured, allowing moving items to hit them and turn them on and off at random.

You may call the dealer and request that they take action, and if the results are unfavorable, you can fix it yourself.

A cabinet switch protector can be purchased at any local hardware shop. The outlet cover is also available on Amazon for between $8 and $13.

What Majority of the Users Feel?

This Arctic Fox 22G RV has a lot of excellent features, although there are some mixed reviews about it in multiple forums.

On the RV Insider website, a client from Georgia gave the Arctic Fox 22G a 4.6 rating and pleasantly commented:

“Great camper for weekends as a couple, easy to pull, quality build. It has a wide body, all-season, 200W solar panel with 1000W true-sine inverter.”

In the I RV 2 forum , another client reported on this RV:

“I have a 2017 Arctic Fox 22G. We found only 1 installation defect. The fire extinguisher bracket was screwed into just the surface laminate, not the underlying framing.”

In the forums, the users have complained the most about the microwave issue. Many customers had to replace the burn magnetron.

Final Thoughts

The Arctic Fox 22G RV is a compact recreational vehicle with a unique function. If you’re looking for a small RV without a slide, this RV might be a great option.

Certain difficulties do, however, occur with time. If you run into any of the problems I’ve listed, remember to follow the instructions.

I wish you a pleasant and safe journey with your Arctic Fox 22G recreational vehicle.

5 Most Common Problems with Arctic Fox Fifth Wheel

An Arctic Fox Fifth Wheel is a great vehicle to enjoy an exciting weekend outdoors or a long road trip. However, it starts to show various problems with time. Sometimes, new cars also point to multiple symptoms. Do you know about the Arctic Fox Fifth Wheel problems?

Damaged rooftops, electric appliances issues, and tire and braking problems are the prime problems you’ll face with a fifth wheel. Toilet problems and external wall deterioration occur with time. If there’s a leak in the water line, the vehicle’s interior suffers the most.

Fixing these usual fifth-wheel problems isn’t tough. But these issues become severe if you don’t take care of them in time. You should contact an expert mechanic to fix these Arctic Fox Fifth Wheel-related issues.

arctic-fox-fifth-wheel-problems

What Are The Common Arctic Fox Fifth Wheel Problems?

The Arctic Fox Fifth Wheel comes with many advantages. But it exhibits various issues with time. Knowing them firsthand helps to find an easy solution. You can follow this detailed elaboration if you’re unaware of them.

1. Damaged Rooftop

Generally, extreme heat is the prime reason behind the damage to the rooftop. It would help if you didn’t park your RV under the sun for a long time. It’ll affect the vehicle’s structure at the molecular level. 

Glues help to keep the roofing panel together. Consequently, extreme heat can form bubbles, hence damaging the roof. You should fix your arctic fox’s roof asap if it’s damaged by overheating. Before replacing the top with a new one, inspect the bubble formation rate. 

If you notice heavy bubble formation, install a new roof. It’ll cost you around $6,000. For minor bubble formation rates, you can fix the roof with adhesive.

2. Electrical Issues

Electrical problems frequently occur in arctic fox vehicles. The issues vary depending on the cause. Sometimes it might be fuses or wirings. However, refrigerator, microwave, and AC problems are the prime electrical issues in an arctic fox vehicle.

The electrical system crumbles if your vehicle’s power source fails to deliver enough power. Faulty wirings and defective batteries are responsible for inadequate power supply.

Inspect the appliances while turning on the power source. The accessories will work when the power supply is ok. Then look at the 120V power supply of your fringe or AC. If none of them are working, these devices are out of date.

You must spend at least 100 bucks to fix appliance-related electrical problems. On the other hand, fixing damaged cables and USBs will cost you around $30.

3. Weak Exterior Wall

Weak exterior walls are a red flag for your Arctic Fox Fifth Wheel. If you notice any symptoms like small lumps and a raised surface, you should fix it asap.

Generally, an Arctic Fox Fifth Wheel has a three-layered outer surface. These layers are made of wood and styrofoam. But excess heat can damage the outer wall and create lumps.

If you keep your RV under the sun for too long, the RV’s exterior and roof will pay the price. A water leak and damaged fiberglass can also affect the exterior wall’s health.

First, collect a delamination repair kit and a driller from a nearby store. Then, use the drill to drill holes in the plywood and Styrofoam section of the exterior wall. You must apply adhesives to the spots to repair them. After the glue has dried properly, repair the holes carefully. Once you’ve fixed them, remove the extra glue around the holes.

4. Broken Interior

Don’t be surprised if your fifth wheel’s interior wall breaks down due to continuous traveling. It’ll affect your water supply when the pump is running. Sometimes, the sudden pressure change in the pump might create leakages in the water line, making the interior wet.

Sometimes, excessive water can flood the RV’s basement. Not only will your arctic fox’s furniture rot, and the weather sealing won’t work accurately due to this issue.

It’s better to repair the interior before the problem worsens. You can use better sealing to avoid internal problems. Take your arctic fox RV to the nearest repair shop to insert quality sealing in the interior wall.

5. Tire Problems

Tire issues are pretty common in an Arctic Fox. If the tire is in good shape, it won’t affect the RV’s movement. However, if you face the same issue, you should inspect the reasons quickly. 

Abrupt bumping and delayed braking response are the prime symptoms of damaged tires. An arctic fox’s fifth wheel weighs around 4,000 lbs. Consequently, resulting in the thinner tire and faster wearing. Off-road driving is another reason behind tire issues.

You must use gloves to check the tire pressure. If you observe less pressure in the tire, use a jack to lift the RV. With a wrench, take out the bolts. Then, change the tires and attach the bolts.

A mechanic will charge you $150 to install new tires. However, you should spend at least $200 to replace the tires and brakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you want to know more about the Arctic Fox Fifth Wheel? Well, here’re some frequently asked questions to learn more about this fantastic vehicle.

What is the fixing cost of an arctic fox power inverter?

Fixing an arctic fox power inverter will cost you $2,000 on average. However, the cost varies on the quality and the brand of the inverter; if you want to install a high-quality inverter, the price increases to 3,000.

Can I park my Arctic Fox Fifth Wheel under a tree?

Parking the fifth wheel under a tree is better than parking in extreme heat. Parking the RV under a tree will reduce the bubble formation rate. Your Arctic Fox Fifth Wheel’s roof top will last longer if you park it under a shade.

Does a tool wrench help to change tires quickly?

A tool wrench eases the tire’s changing process. Hence, you can quickly install new tires. You should use a set of wrenches if you know what you’re doing. Otherwise, a tool wrench is an ideal tool for the task.

Should I apply a clog buster in the toilet vent of my Arctic Fox Fifth Wheel?

A clog buster melts the debris inside the vent quickly. It’ll help you to clean the toilet and sink line in 30 minutes. However, it would help to inspect leakages in your Arctic Fox Fifth Wheel plumbing before applying the clog buster.

You must find a resolution for your Arctic Fox Fifth Wheel as soon as possible. Otherwise, a simple issue can affect other vehicle parts. Water leakage will cost you time and money.

We hope the discussion on the Arctic Fox fifth-wheel problems has provided you with the correct information. You should perform a routine check to avoid these problems. 

Clean the water lines timely to prevent basement flooding. Keep the vehicle under a shade to save the rooftop and the outer surface of the car.
