ALL NEW MODEL!! 2021 Arctic Wolf 3880SUITE Middle Bunkhouse Super Living Fifth Wheel RV Rev

[@susyhebner2543]

It’s a snack bar. Very nice RV.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I could definitely see myself snacking at that bar..

Enter-Dinement Bar or Barning Room Table or Dinement Bar Seating or Edutainment Dining for RV home schooled on the road

[@teerriffic68]

I’d call it a picnic island. Looks like a picnic table. I like it!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Love this

[@C5ZDad]

If this had an outdoor kitchen I'd buy it right now 😭

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Arctic builds two mid-bunk models. THIS ONE here --> kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2TOg6yDotGMias sounds like it'll be a better fit for your preferences!

[@C5ZDad]

@@JoshtheRVNerd beautiful, but no bunks 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@womsterr]

@@JoshtheRVNerd can you build an outdoor kitchen on this?

[@nickzalan4762]

The island looks like it would be called a bar table!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That works!

[@mattwin1986]

The T-Riffic gathering station. lol

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

lol

[@lindamurray5503]

It's nice, and we would like to have a bunk room, and something like that island look, I just wish it wasn't quite so long.

[@juliebrown3380]

Not sure why someone would thumbs down this video..BeaUtiful fifth wheel..lots of storage ..and Josh does a thorough job of the run thru..ya just gotta love Haylett's

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

They probably work at another dealership LOL

[@jojoelf1]

It's a fabland. Farm house table, island. Feel free to use this. Lol.

[@davidaukofer]

Wow. This thing is the best Artic Wolf I've ever seen.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Just wait. The 3770 and 3990 are similar awesome. Their new models this year were ALL absolutely fantastic.

[@markgarvey5859]

I like the location of kitchen sink lots of space

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah this setup rocks

[@glomommy7656]

Any ideas what size mini fridge would actually fit in the pass through storage??

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Probably nothing tall - like nothing bigger than like a 2cu ft dorm fridge

[@jeroldkiekhafer7141]

I always liked the Arctic Wolf, I like a lot of things about them. I never found anywhere that they would be full time livable. They look great from the outside and I’ve always thought they do a great job for pantry space. This is really a great looking model.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Fair enough!

[@kricketjoy]

This is my new favorite! I love all the windows, and seating. That island is super cool.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

The moment I saw just the floor plan concept I was like "yes! Yes! YEEEESSSSSSS!!"

[@travise8008]

Dinning Island!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Dine-land?

[@ericloar305]

Love it

[@kevinvanlohuizen2709]

Getting washer/dryer in and using past that bed would be a pain.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Getting a washer/dryer into any RV is usually a pain. Thankfully you only need to do it once. It becomes much easier if the mattress is moved out of the way. Far easier to slot in place then.

[@yourfriendsliving1231]

Are there any other Floorplans with other brands that do the middle bunk the same way as this one? I love this middle bunk, but I wish it was available in more trustworthy brands.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

There are -- but be warned my footage on this camper is PAINFULLY outdated (recorded back in 2016 if that gives you any idea!) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooXNkJ6je6ubmaM This layout is still in production. For comparison here's a look at a more current Eagle so you can see what they look like (albeit in a completely different layout): kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZzdhamJgNmfaNk

[@chuckbessels9469]

Very nice!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thanks for the visit

[@dinosaur6756]

The "island dinette" is way cool. Seating for 9 diners (11 if you purchase another table) is just crazy. Nice.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It really is!

[@Dhernandez24]

What’s better quality. 2021 Artic wolf 3770 suite bunkhouse vs a 2022 alliance avenue 31bhs?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

So.. .two very diffident trim levels and layouts there. Kinda apples and oranges. I’ll give the nod to fit and finish to the Alliance, though

[@michellelowther5985]

WOOT!! We have ordered an Alpha Wolf (so I can't WAIT for you guys to get one and review it) - but we kept seeing the backsplash to the stove with the wood panel - nice to see its (a) bamboo; (b) a cutting board; and (c) HELD ON BY MAGNETS! That is just soo cool!! Thanks for the review - and showing all the storage!! ;-)

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

MAGNETS! SCIENCE! EXCITEMENT! LOL :)

[@danielguertin9664]

Love the midbunk, except it should have a sofa. I would take those bunks out so fast. Hope one day they make a good second room for relaxing for couples where the visit can be. As for the living room, tv.on wrong side, should be opposite kitchen, or in the complete back, and those sofas, just to much. I'd rather have a place to sit down to eat, play cards, prepare food without being in each other's way.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That's where something like this comes in: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXnPlWWVZpl8r9U I would like to see a brand "merge" the two ideas with the middle sofa room of the Cougar with a folding bunk above, but no loft.

[@timothymasarik12]

anyone that knows....... could you add shocks to it to help with boondocking?? would that help?? this unit comes with 1 battery? can you add more to extend the power when you're off the grid?? any information would be greatly appreciated thank you !!!!!🙃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Not factory-set for suspension mods. But It could be done at a fab shop. Extra batteries could also be added (we could do that here)

[@timothymasarik12]

@@JoshtheRVNerd I am guessing you can charge the extra batteries at home instead of just the solar panel. How many batteries do you think you would need to run the furnace for about 24 hours with no solar no electricity? Just a furnace.. roughly. how much are extra batteries. new to this solar stuff. thanks for the help!!!!!🙃🙃

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@timothymasarik12 Plugging into anything will charge up the batteries. Hard to say on the batteries because there are so many variables. Two at least is never a bad idea.

[@timothymasarik12]

@@JoshtheRVNerd how much is a decent battery to add to the system?? thanks for the help+!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@timothymasarik12 Batteries could be anywhere from 1-200 to nearly $1,000 for lithiums

[@robertpacific8319]

Not thrilled with the bunk room. Would still like a couch in there and separate bunk bed so I could use it as a safe room when my family breaks me.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

The good news is they still build this one both ways. Here's some 2020 footage of their other mid-bunk design: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH_Ci6KmitiJsJo

[@cullinan18]

Love the "barland" and true bunk room. I prefer a real dinette or table and chairs over the extra sofa. Very nice coach.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Glad you like it! I know the seating wont be for everyone. But that's why it's nice having so many different RVs here -- something for everyone! The 3660 Arctic Wolf for instance is a more traditional take on the mid-bunk concept. I think this 3880 is something special and refreshingly unique, though.

[@hinsontacp]

Have had ours for about a week now and I’m extremely frustrated. Any tips on getting the front door to close smoother? The amount of effort required to get the front door to latch is absolutely ridiculous!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Sounds like the striker plate is in need of adjustment

[@hinsontacp]

@@JoshtheRVNerd I’ve checked the striker plate and the only adjustment I see that I can do is to remove it.

[@nunyabuisness7531]

I love the living area! That table island is a form of a farmhouse table. Work Station and eating area. Farmhouses were small and every inch counted. First time for me seeing all the zebra shades at once, wow is that busy!

[@brentnelson1270]

That pass thru storage is be-a-utiful! 😳

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Not everybody wants a camp kitchen. Sometimes monster storage for kid-stuff is just the ticket

[@markh8410]

Love this RV! All I want is a little linen space in the bathroom. 1 that's it

[@markgarvey5859]

A dinning bar

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

What do you think of "Dine-land?"

[@randyzive]

This has 4 side marker lights on both sides, instead of the usual 3 (2 amber, 1 red). Is Forest River trying to do something similar to Jayco's SMART lighting?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

No "SMART" lighting on this one. It's just a long rig that needed an extra light

[@RonnieRukus]

You guys are going to sell a butt-ton of these. Yes, that's an official unit of measure, butt-ton.

Can you tow this RV with a gas 3/4 ton truck?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Without any specs on the truck I cannot say either way. In exchange for the fair opportunity to work with you our team is always happy to hit up the towing guides and keep safety before the sale

[@robertmorgan702]

@@JoshtheRVNerd thank you. I’m shopping for a new truck in 2021 and I was thinking of upgrading to a 3/4 ton so I can upgrade to a fifth wheel from a travel trailer. I know a diesel can tow more but it comes with a $10,000 price tag

[@badgerpa9]

The bunks look wider than a cot size bunk, along with longer.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

74" Long vs the 64" beds you usually get in a layout like this. It's a HUGE difference.

[@cbuslady]

This is perfect for a big brood, room for everybody. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Absolutely! This thing is great

[@brentnelson1270]

Great “smart money” fifth wheel. The sammich and chips in the lunchbox without the Twinkie and juice box. Not cheap just less expensive. Hats off to Arctic Wolf for a well designed, where-it-counts fifth wheel AND hand salute to Haylett RV for stocking budget conscious offerings. 😁

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It's a truly great fit into our lineup. Really happy with what we're seeing here

[@MyChannel-vm6dw]

This would have been perfect if it was a bath and a half

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Where would you put the extra 1/2 bath? The RV cannot really get large due to square footage restrictions.

[@acdii]

WOW, that is very nice! It looks like they used the basic 3660 chassis and walls and created different slide units because I see a lot of similarity between it and ours. I do like the *barland* with the seats, and the fact they include the tables. Been waiting for your review and it was well worth the wait. A few things I wish I could get from FR for ours, the board behind the stove, and the drawer under the stove and fridge. I could make my own, actually made two pull out shelves for the cabinet next to the stove, but to have matching drawers would be great. After using ours for a little bit now, what would be better, especially for the 3880, is to move the LP tap to the middle of the trailer, between the steps and second storage door so that you can cook under the awning and not need a 30' hose. Maybe give FR a little feedback on that one. While I like the storage in the bed room that can also be the WD area, the space above it could be better used if it were a cabinet in the bathroom like it is on the smaller bunkhouse 5th. Might be a bit tricky getting things out though, but if it were just deep enough for towels, that is all it needs. It cold also use a railing by the stairs for older folks. I like how they left out the dividers that are in the 2020/21 models in the front passthrough storage, gives a lot more room for larger items, though it also increases the chance of stuff sliding, so pack carefully. While I do like this layout, a couple things about it make the 3660 we have more useful, the bunk room is great on the 3880, but lacks the storage the 3660 has, and with no loft, it doesn't give us the separation we have with the 3660. That's not a knock against it, it just would make it less practical for our use case. Anyway, Josh, it was because of YOUR review on the 3660 and all trailers in general, that we decided to go with the 3660, you covered it bottom to top literally. No one else climbs up on the roof to detail what the manufacturer has done up there, you can't see it so it is out of mind, but those little features you point out can make a huge difference in a trailer. I also noticed this trailer has wrinkles in the roof material at the seams, which our 3660 also has, and was a bit concerned, but looks like that just happens to be how the lay the fabric down, giving it some extra to expand and contract during the seasons. One little thing if you may, could you add the tires and suspension to the reviews? Some trailers have upgraded suspension that aren't normally reported, and even if just noted it has such and such tire and standard or upgraded suspension would add even more value to your reviews. Keep up the good work. Oh, where can I get that bumper setup for mine? Could really use one.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thanks for watching! Did you choose Haylett RV or allow our team the opportunity to work with you in return for our efforts in these videos? I can't really tell which screen name is/isn't a client of ours lol :) We know we don't sell them all, but we always appreciate a fair shake at working with folks. Either way, if you haven't done so, then would you consider leaving a review for others to see regarding our work on google or facebook (or both?) -- you can do so right here: www.haylettautoandrv.com/review-us/

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

OH! Regarding the bumper bracket: I don't believe your previously existing 3660 can be outfitted with that rack. It requires the actual chassis to be extended slightly to provide room for the rack to be attached. I think there are some highly similar aftermarket solutions though

[@acdii]

@@JoshtheRVNerd We were looking for a specific model, and when I looked at what you had on the site, there wasn't one listed, and the local dealer by me had one that we looked at. When you did get one about 2 weeks later the price was right about the same, but now that I know what Haylett does when they are received, and what I know about where I got it from, I would have been better off getting it from Haylett. You recently did a video explaining your PDI methods, which unfortunately for me, was well after I got mine. Now I know, if I have to do it over again, Haylett is the place to go.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@acdii I'm sorry to hear that happened regardless of where you purchased. We'll be here when you're ready!

[@Nicholsonmortgages1]

Love this new layout, I seen it about 2 months ago when you shared the Artic Wolf teaser video from the show. Only one question , do you think they will do this floor plan in a higher end model like a Cedar Creek/Hathaway/Silver Back edition, I am Sure the price would be way more but we leave our unit parked and use it as our cottage, so looking for some higher end finishes/durability.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

There are a lot of other mid-bunks out there from brands like Cougar, Eagle, North Point, Montana, etc. They all have their little "things." I think if that party sofa / and "Dineland" combo goes over, then I could definitely see some brands adopting something like this more common. Arctic has really gone from "follower" to a true "leader" the past two seasons.

[@Nicholsonmortgages1]

@@JoshtheRVNerd the deep bunk house is probably our favorite feature as my girls are 18 & 15 and still love coming with us almost every weekend, but many of the other Awesome models/brands you mentioned have such small/Short bunk Beds/ couches that anyone over 5 feet or you can't fit 2 wide on them. We are considering a Front Living Room as an option. When they are with us they will sleep up there and when they aren't with us we have a kick but Living Room.

I think I have found my 5th Wheel now would you categorize this RV to be used as full time living? Or extended season? I’m looking at a 5th wheel in this price range with those bunks. This has me sold unless you suggest different?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I've seen people go full time in a 16ft camper before. That's really up to you. Some RVs simply carry extra allowances within their warranty structures for that kind of higher frequency use

[@todd9554]

If the beds kiss the wall you would not be able to put up a television on it.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I absolutely recognize that fact -- assuming the RV was left mounted on the wall. It's unreasonable I think to remove a TV for transit. Frankly it's a good idea regardless I think most Arctic-owners are not buying this RV with the idea of giving the kids a personal entertainment room. This one really feels like more of "just a bedroom" with time spent out in the shared living space or outside.
