Hello ! My Names Taylor . I Live FULL-TIME in my 2017 Arctic fox 990 Truck Camper. Hope to share my journey with you and maybe even inspire you ! Welcome to the RV LIFESTYLE My Friends !!

[@northwoodmanufacturing2408]

Fantastic video, Taylor! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come down and checkout the factory. We all greatly appreciate it and enjoyed finally meeting you! Keep living the dream friend!

[@aulii11]

Thanks to all of you for making it possible!

[@francoispanneton609]

Very generous of all of you to take the time to make this very interesting and entertaining video. Best publicity as well! Thank you Taylor!

[@jamey48]

Thanks to North Woods for giving us all such a great tour. And thank you Taylor for bringing us along ! Fantastic video, fantastic RV'S.

[@carolyncoppola974]

Honestly, that was very impressive! Does Northwood give tours of their plant or was this a honorary visit? Great job, great product, thanks again!

[@rg500delta]

My wife and I watched this video, started shopping Arctic Fox and now have an ORV 21RWS on order, just a few days later. Taylor ought to get some commission on this one! Thanks 1000x for the video and tour, Northwood thanks for still taking the time to make a great product. We have to wait until April '22 but we're already stoked!

[@stevecastro22]

As a fulltime Gunsmith for the past forty-five years and woodworker, I have always had deep appreciation for anything that is finely crafted. Be it a fine swiss watch, a beautiful piece of furniture or an RV. After watching this video my mind is made up as to what Manufacturer of 5th wheel my wife and I intend to purchase. Northwood is top-notch and their construction methods are state of the art. Thanks so much for the very informative presentation. Steve C. Mesa Az.

[@Mrruneight]

Owned an Arctic Fox 27-5L 5th wheel now for about 5 Years. Yes, there has been some teething issues but once I got Foxy dialed in, it has been a dream to own. We went to Alaska last year and were gone for 3 months and when other people were having some pretty serious issues with their rigs, we just kept on going. Great work Northwood and Thank You for a great product.

[@kindnesscounts6894]

This was so fun to watch! We bought an AF 31D bunkhouse model back in late 2014 so we could full-time in the North Dakota oilfield. I was pregnant at the time and had a 3 year old, so I really I needed something I could be confident living in during super cold weather. 7 years later and I am still in love with this camper. It has given our family such peace of mind knowing we had a reliable transitional living space no matter where we landed in the world. Love Northwoods RVs!

[@ddev7376]

Watching this in my arctic fox 811 gives me a new appreciation for everything around me!

[@dannytaylor3570]

That was the best RV factory tour that I have ever seen. I always thought that Arctic Fox were well made campers but now I know that they are among the best designed, best made, best insulated. Thanks.

[@anyname2640]

I'm a van camper myself, but I have a friend that has a truck camper and they are awesome. The video was great, it went into great detail, and your editing is awesome also. if they are going to make you a official spokesman they couldn't have picked a more genuine, honest, open-minded, and well-informed person. Good luck in your endeavors.

[@shaynaarnold2518]

My husband, Mom, and sister all work at NW!

[@TimothyCihal-pn7fm]

Are they Union?

[@rhizomove6631]

I love that they are hand made. Jobs, jobs and more jobs! Note: This was an AWESOME video.

[@pamatthew99]

I don't know any rv not hand made. There is no robotic built RV or I would buy it. Hand building has many more mistakes and why the industry as a whole sucks. Robotics is why today's car is so superior to the junk we used to have. It would take a General Motors to once again build RVs to get a robotic build on a production line.

[@wincrasher2007]

@@pamatthew99 At one time (back in the 70's) GM made motor homes. They were well built and robust and had innovative features you couldn't get anywhere else. They were pricey at the time, but many are still on the road today.

[@lindsaylittle6535]

Taylor: My wife and I ordered a Wolf Creek 850 from a dealer in Boise. On our way out to Seattle we stopped into the Northwood plant and actually saw our Wolf Creek being completed. We got the tour and when we came up to the last unit there it was. We have spent 2 month traveling Alaska the Yukon and BC and have slept in it at -17 F. We love it. On to Yellowknife for 2 months this fall. I must say that they had a factory rep who walked us through line by line on what to get right down to the truck. Super nice guy. No regrets. Taylor you put out great video's like usual!

[@FreewayFlippers]

Very cool to see the factory. We just bought an Arctic Fox 29-5K 5th wheel. We LOVE it. One of the things that sold us was how well they are made. Ours is 16,660 lbs. which is WAY heavier than most 5th wheels our length. After touring other brands, it was obvious the quality. PLUS, made in the USA!

[@deltabravo1257]

Colby does an awesome tour. Very knowledgeable.

[@fivestarfabrics216]

You sell more ARCTIC FOX RV'S than anyone

[@codymontgomery7389]

hhaha seriously though, I hadn't thought about this.

[@dennissenter7445]

Taylor, you did an awesome job with this video. We purchased a 2019 Arctic Fox 27-5L 5th Wheel last Spring and have really enjoyed it. We live in Spokane and not all that far from La Grande, Oregon. Our plans this summer include a trip through the Northwood factory too. Thank you for the insight to their manufacturing process. You did a better job showing the process than Northwood has done in the past.

[@richardconley5965]

This video omitted the all important moving parts - the slideout mechanism. Schwintek or Powergear? Where is the slideout motor located and how is it accessed. You could do a full minute or two on just the slide mechanism it's support. Maybe next time?

[@gatorbilz1]

Taylor, you are living my life. When I retire in a few years, this is what I want to do. I have looked at Lance and Host truck campers. They were nice but seemed to lack details. I looked at a Arctic Fox travel trailer. The attention to details, fit and finish were superior. I have not looked at an Arctic Fox truck camper yet but like you said, they are all built with the same materials and focus on details. You confirmed why I will be buying an Arctic Fox truck camper. Personally, the video could have been 3 hours long, and I would have watched it from beginning to end in one sitting. Pretty cool to see my truck camper built from the inside to the outside. I think I will watch it again! Great job Taylor, thanks.

[@lambo_and_doc]

After reading some comments and regarding other TC brand videos, their videos are in house and show what they want you to see. This video is done by an actual customer, proven and tested ! Great Job ! I'd hazard to guess your an official AF rep now. Northwood needs to be smart and give you a new Truck Camper every two years so you can show updates and how well they hold up.

[@paul1mdrn]

Great video, seams like a good company and they aren't rushing around like I've seen in other factory tours.

[@TaylorDzaman]

I agreed . I have seen that as well on youtube!

[@greystone4333]

Excellent inside out view on the truck camper, this is a rare opportunity. Very special to be invited to do a factory tour, can't wait for the remaining segments. Again as always your style of video is very enjoyable. Thanks.

[@TaylorDzaman]

Isn't it amazing to see !!

[@waterloo123100]

Taylor I second you doing longer videos. I dont watch TV at all vloggers and KZbin videos are my entertainment and I always watch your episode. Keep up with great work. Your a very inspiring person.

[@hyker8787]

Awesome to see how a TC is made by Northwood. I hope they appropriately compensated you for your time, travel, and endorsement! It's great advertisement for them. I have a Lance (which I love) , but my next might be an Arctic Fox when I upgrade. I still need to do some research. You have my gratitude for taking the time to educate your subscribers, like me. I'm sure it took time away from your regular paycheck and/or vacation time. Thank you!

[@ernamay]

You just did a wonderful add for the Artic Fox RV's. People will be banging on your door for info to get their new ArticFox RV'. Great video.

[@billbeyatte]

Impressive. I have a Lance TC and have taken their factory tour which shows a fairly high tech operation, but Lances do not have arched roofs and they do not individually insulate water lines (mine freeze up).

[@scottcanavan8814]

Great job....cool to see where my 865 was born....

[@TaylorDzaman]

right there partner !

[@janeboivin5282]

We are picking up our Arctic Fox 27.5 this Wednesday! So excited! We knew it was good, but this makes me realize it’s better than we thought! Thanks for making this video

[@jdux9089]

Great video Taylor. I know you appreciate Northwood allowing you to make the video but Northwood should appreciate it as well. I'm sure you'll sell a number of units for them! Arctic Fox is definitely on the short list for my next rig. Very well done, professional video.

[@billybob7961]

Taylor, after this documentary I hope they take care of you! Excellent Job...

[@mr.timjohnston546]

thats why hes there. They already have taken care of Taylor.

[@zepedrofd]

I tend to go for products that I know the company revolves around passion, that the employees are treated well or has interesting history. In the same spirit, when I bought an AR15, I got a Widham Weaponery. The brand was the famous Bushmaster. It was bought by Remington and relocated. The previous owner stepped in to help the company restart in the old location so that his former employees would get back their jobs. I support such attitude... Really cool factory tour! Interesting!

[@Gusinabus]

Ha ha - starting the day with a coffee in a beautiful spot is heaven even if there are no new campers in view

[@spudthegreaterusa8386]

Man, i saw a fleetwood factory process with a bunch of people running around 100mph slapping crap together pushing out a trailer every 15 mins. These people didnt look rushed at all and seemed to enjoy what they did, and the quality is 100x better. And i own a used Elkhorn truck camper from 1999. Id LOVE an AF. but then again i only paid $2500. Very high quality process Taylor, thanks for your time.

[@simonassouline45]

Best RV’s in the World! Plus Made in America, Highest Quality and Manufacturing in the World! Great Video, enjoyed watching and learning how professionals put together and create such a Work of Art Masterpiece!

[@getreel3515]

Hi Taylor, I hope life is treating you well. I ran across this video now, although I have watched it many times in the past. After a little more than 3 years, I stilll have and would not part with my 2021 AF 1150. Again, its because of all the videos you put out about your 990 you had. Thanks again, God Bless.

[@luckyme398]

That was an awesome tour .thanks for taking us along . Thank you Colby you were awesome and very informative !

[@Pipefitter310]

And that’s why my future fifth wheel camper will be an ARCTIC FOX......

[@RobGADV]

Arctic Fox may very well be the best-made RV you can buy for less than a half million dollars. I have a 2006 Keystone Raptor 5th wheel, and it's one of the biggest pieces of poorly-made crap I've ever seen. Nothing in it is laminated; the sidewalls, sure, but they're delaminating. But I'm thoroughly impressed. Great video!

[@bluewater7211]

Seems like a good place. I've got a 29 fifth wheel and ya I'm glad it came from this place.

[@aulii11]

Kudos to Northwood and Colby for taking you through their facilities! Very informative and educational!

[@stevemartin1375]

Been looking all over the internet for information on truck campers for a future purchase. After watching your video on the construction of the Artic Fox I'm sold. Thank you.

[@ID10Tpig]

Taylor, a huge thank you for taking the time to make this video. Arctic Fox, a huge thank you for bringing Taylor out to your factory and letting him do this. Finally, a huge thank you to both for rekindling my desire to live my dream in my future Arctic Fox 811.

[@carolyncoppola974]

Long video deserves long response! Lol. 1) Thank YOU Taylor for this video, awesome! 2) Thank you to Northwood for allowing you the tour and video! First class customer service - it shows! Even in their own review videos they show the construction. 3) I know when/if the time comes that Arctic Fox Truck Camper is for me, just need to decide on which one! Your enthusiasm truly showed while making the video, and it made me feel like I was there as well! Great video, thanks again!

[@davidschonhardt4958]

This was so GOOD! Please do a long video on 5th wheel construction. I can't believe how interesting this is! I want an Artic 🦊 5th wheel!!

[@TaylorDzaman]

Coming right up !

[@rodneyhowell2703]

Thankyou for showing these campers.i use to live in LaGrande an delivered everyday to their warehouse binding machines.love that area.

[@marinadockpartsllc1527]

My wife and I love our 2018 AF 811 and have not regretted our purchase one bit and Nothwood is fantastic company and stand behind their product. They even fixed our sticky door handle after the warranty ran out. They did not have to do that, but did. Great video, see you down the road. Oh and, that girlfriend of yours, she's a keeper.

[@lenward474]

Taylor! That's product placement drop the coffee!!! Or get paid...they are enjoying your free placement!

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

Neat tour video - he really explained the quality of products.

[@MontanaWelldigger]

Northwood and Artic Fox are wonderful. I had my 5th wheel repaired at the factory, Dave was a pleasure to work with.

[@MarkSpencerAZ]

Great video, and rather inspiring Taylor! It is just a shame, however, that so much engineering, and automation goes into the AF units, but the end product, at least mine, is full of shoddy workmanship. For example, loose ground bonding wires at their intended clamp points, high voltage wiring in direct contact with low voltage wiring, high current DC lines hard against sharp edges of the aluminum bodied charge controller, perhaps this is OK in the RV industry, but an inspection fail in the housing industry. Non safety issues like the half assed caulking, I assume is needed to prevent water ingress into the luan paneling used throughout the construction, but missing along several seems where it starts, stops, and starts again. All sorts of debris glued between the EPDM roof membrane and the underlying roof material.Then there's the drain line that would require water to flow uphill to work as designed, the cocked drains in the kitchen and bathroom sinks, and the endless sawdust and aluminum shavings left throughout the basement. Oh, and the many staples that are missing their target, and neither removed or replaced into where they were intended to go. The inspector must have misplaced their roll of tape while going over my unit. Clearly this is much less than the factory is capable of producing!

[@Guzzirodo]

Did you notice how the anchor points are built, the hooks where you fasten your tie downs. Thanks

[@ronglickman2641]

The family let me choose a family trip and I chose to tour the Northwood factory. Seven years later they still talk about it and how impressed they were on how well the product was made.

[@MicheIIePucca]

I've seen videos of RV factories that commented on how bad the quality was, and after watching, I'm sure no one would buy some makes.... but Arctic Fox RV's are amazing quality. I was very impressed. My last RV was a lightweight Rockwood (32ft) .... I think Arctic Fox would be my next one.

[@peterfagan5911]

Got to love country music blasting in the background while they work.....awesome!!

[@joeykunz]

Looking forward to the 5th wheel chassis vid

[@thrownthekilled]

I’m excited, I’ll be getting a Arctic fox, with the “Alaska pack” and this makes me excited… pretty awesome!

[@gregchadwick8428]

Thanks for a great video Taylor. Nice to see where my AF 990 was born.

[@azguitar]

I’m impressed by the attention to detail and use of thick aluminum framing. Well done, Arctic Fox!

[@robertmatheson9542]

Great video, seeing how they are made is what has convinced me to purchase Artic Fox. I really like the solid heavy-duty handmade construction. Hopefully I will purchase this summer. Thanks.

[@yepme6484]

Boy some truth at 11:24, I've been there my self. I hope you do more video because your a great guy. Take care Taylor. I have three kids my oldest is 32, and my two youngest is 12 and 9 year old daughter's. I'm in my later 50's and buy time my last kids is grown I'll be in my sixty. Your videos help entertain me at home. To poor to own a camper so far.

[@bertbrown2815]

We bought a 29-5k 5th wheel from Thunder RV in LaGrand close to the factory. We took the factory tour and it was the best RV factory tour I'v ever been on. We decided to get our 5ver after the tour.

[@f8thntheos]

My lovely bride and I are looking to downsize our 30' fifth wheel to a truck camper. Your video was very well made and very informational. Arctic Fox is at the top of our list of truck campers!

[@davidhillman3410]

Taylor! This video popped up so I watched it again. It was good seeing you again! Hope you’re doing OK I don’t see you posting any videos anymore or. I miss your content!

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

I've seen some Arctic Fox campers and fifth wheels here in Oklahoma. Thanks for sharing this walk through!

[@jimbrooks8544]

Hi Taylor thanks for filming your tour of the factory. I wondered how AT made there Campers good video.

[@TaylorDzaman]

Very cool hey !

[@charlieronk7909]

I have a friend that just ordered one last week to go on his shoe truck that currently has a worn out Lance. He’s been looking for a factory tour video. Perfect timing, this puts his mind at ease that he made the correct choice. Look forward to the fifth wheel video as that’s what I’m looking for. Thanks

[@MisterDoctorAustin]

As one of those people who wants to know everything about what I’m preparing to purchase, this video was a godsend. Super well done. Thank you so much!!!

[@sarahg6168]

I have a travel trailer but I wish it was arctic fox now. Loved the shout out to Alaska, I hope you make it up here sometime!

[@ReluctantPost]

Just be aware that when companies like Northwood say "four seasons" or "arctic," etc., they mean in the central/southern US only. The welds on the frames are weak for high-contrast temperature/elevation use because they don't expand and contract at the same rate as the aluminum. Over time this will weaken them, unlike a wood or a screwed-together aluminum assembly like some high-end coaches use (Mobile Suites, etc.). Also, they are laminating the aluminum frame right to the interior wall with no thermal break, which short-circuits all the insulation around each frame tube. In Canada/Alaska or mountains of the northern US in the cold season, that can leave frost stripes on the interior wall and will freeze anything like plumbing that is up next to it. Being able to "see" the aluminum framing through the wall in the cold (whether melting frost outside or frost lines inside) is a signature of poor performance thermally, not a good thing. They are also still using luan board that corrupts really easily and provides little resilience compared to a composite like Azdel. Just some Northwood engineering pitfalls I've had to learn the hard way. I would go with Triple E motorhome (not Class B van) or equivalent construction if I was in the market in the north and wasn't just going to use the rig in summer.

[@SIGsauerJ]

Great video dude keepin true to your KZbin roots lovin it now I REALLY WANT the 990 Fox

[@idahooutdoors2695]

Well done boss man I don’t own an artic fox but now I want to get one lol

[@FreedoomRock]

Look well built

[@jscott354]

Great look inside the Northwood Mfg. factory... thanks for taking us along! Stumbled on this video while looking for a refresher on winterizing my Arctic Fox 811. It was fun to see how this great camper was put together by some pretty nice folks down in Oregon.

[@SpotandLes]

I just bought one today mainly because of your video. Nice job.

[@adipete9039]

This is the best and complete factory tour I ever saw, nice job!

[@TaylorDzaman]

Appreciate you saying that . Thank you !

[@jmaudsley6544]

So interesting to see a manufacturer not only not cutting corners but instead adding extra bracing to the frame corners. I now want to emigrate from England to purchase the triple slide one off and hit the road. Love the films Taylor, happy trails.

[@weremodel]

Now I know what I am actually getting today. A well built home in the bed of my truck.

[@sharkamov]

If I were to buy a camper - *_ARCTIC FOX_* would be it!!! - Super factory tour Taylor!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@rumingjiang69]

Most impressive RV plant tour among all those I found on KZbin. Big thanks.

[@Suchesearl]

looking for an Arctic Fox now....

[@ericdrinnan5814]

EXCELLENT VIDEO! We have '17 AF 990 also, love the camper, love the quality, love everything about it... Hate the generator, too loud!

[@AquariusStarchild]

I wish i could afford an arctic fox! My budget is more in the ballpark of 27 year old Lance camper.... and that's what i just picked up!

[@freedomisntfree5573]

To me. Dollars for value, Arctic Fox. Best truck camper hands down? Northern Lite\ Bigfoot, it's a tie. Lance is next. They use azdel and up graded fans\ appliances, but at a much higher price. I bought a 2018 992. I'll never regret it. Couldn't beat the price for what I got.

Just fantastic!!

[@lance3338]

I want to trade my outdoors rv 20fq for a AF 1150 truck camper. After having my camper which is a Northwood manufacturing travel trailer, I'm definitely a believer in their product.

[@bernardboudreau9534]

Hopefully this video presentation adds to the sales of Arctic Fox. Quite an impressive unit, interviewer and interviewee. Well done all! Bring on the Canadian snowy cold blizzards. This unit looks like it could easily handle it.

[@ronwasser4852]

Was happy to see the CNC part of the process. I operated 2 CNC’s for a major department store chain graphics department until I retired.

[@fattie2550]

Sweet, thanks for posting this Taylor.

[@freedomring4813]

I bought a custom made cargo trailer 14x7 and 5 slider windows and created my own camper. It looks like a log cabin with all of the log cabin trim inside with a leather loveseat and coffee table I built. Cost about 13000 and no payments. Made of real wood and beautiful hardware. Plenty of room to move around. And a outdoor deck when I drop the ramp,but don't worry I built a wall with a full size width screen door and hard door with a window AC unit .MADE IN AMERICA. LOL, I can put my fist through the walls of these campers but not mine.

[@estalcole1]

PS the fishing is great in LE Grand.

[@michaelpadilla8142]

Great video my friend very interesting loved it 👍👍

[@jimsutton3841]

YOU and your A/F vids have pretty much sold me on this product and the fact I live in Oregon and WA--PNW! And looking next to see the 5th wheel vid you are putting out and thinking of having one to downsize and move to the Coast in OR, in the next 3-5 months.

[@pamatthew99]

Have to say one more thing. I've seen the problem companies we all know construct their units and they are rushing the workers and spitting out garbage that people get stuck with falling apart. In your tour no worker seemed to be rushed and product was one of the best I've seen and I now know why many dealerships are selling out of certain units. Trust me. Here it's hard to find a selection to look at..... Great job Taylor.

[@TaylorDzaman]

So true hey !

[@susanmcvay9845]

Excellent video. Quality product...I want one!! Thanks for the great video Taylor. So informative!!

[@dennisopferman3244]

We have a 2018 AF 990 that took short of a year to get to Texas. We did special order ours. We don't have the dinette. We have a couch that fold down into a bed. The table sets on two poles. Very good video. Thank you Taylor

[@TaylorDzaman]

I saw one that had that as well . I love that Idea !

[@schadowolf]

Taylor, this was an awesome inside the scenes video about the Arctic Fox build. Have been researching a new travel trailer, was drawn to AF for cold weather, but this video really puts it in perspective. Well done!!!

[@rickvega9943]

Great video...thanks for the tour. Wish I could buy one right from the factory. One more important thing I want to tell YOU..290 lbs is dangerous weight for a young guy like you so stop eating the wrong foods, you are to nice of a guy. Keep up the great videos and when you come down to the states stop by here in Lake George, NY only 2 1/2 hours south of Montreal. Many KZbin campers/RV boondockers stay at my place when traveling the east coast. Take care and thank you.

[@3101010]

Only think missing from this video was a Discount Code if I buy one will they give me a discount if I say Taylor Dzaman sent me;) In all seriousness Taylor I enjoyed the tour and you can just tell by looking at the manufacturing plant and the people that work there its a awesome place. Great Tour and awesome tour guide. Thanks for sharing.

[@777Jesuswins]

Now I know what camper I want. Thats a great video.

[@claudiaweber2127]

build from the inside out is facinating I think most of us imagine a shell of an RV with people placing the cabinets inside not putting the walls on last.
