01 What makes it unique

The 3250SUITE is Arctic Wolf’s up-equipped rear-living suite, and the line’s first bed-slide premium plan. It pairs a front king bed slide (72 by 80 inches) with a sun bench, a bedroom fireplace and washer/dryer prep, a full bath, an island kitchen with a 30-inch microwave and an oven, and a rear living room with opposing slides, theater seating, a tri-fold sofa, a hidden pantry, a 50-inch LED television and panoramic windows. Stepping up from the lighter plans, it carries a 16-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator rather than the 10-cubic-foot unit. It sleeps four. It rides the full Arctic Wolf build: a 2-inch full-cage aluminum frame, laminated exterior walls under the Elemental Protection Package, an enclosed heated underbelly and automatic leveling.

Forest River publishes a 9,668-pound UVW and a 2,372-pound CCC, which derive a 12,040-pound GVWR (the manufacturer’s own definition is that CCC equals GVWR minus UVW), against an 1,840-pound dry pin. A 15,000-BTU central air conditioner (prepped for a second), a 35,000-BTU furnace, a 5,200-BTU electric fireplace, a tankless water heater, the 16-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, solid-surface counters and an 81-gallon Niagara fresh tank are standard, with a mandatory 100-watt Juice Pack solar package (expandable to 500 watts), a Series 27 battery and a 30-amp charge controller, under a 15-foot power awning.

US street pricing commonly runs in the mid-to-high $50,000s. It is the up-equipped, couple’s suite Arctic Wolf. For a couple who wants a king bed slide, a bedroom fireplace, an island kitchen, theater seating and a 16-cubic-foot refrigerator in a value-mid full-size fifth wheel — towed behind a properly rated three-quarter-ton or larger truck — the 3250SUITE is the line’s premium couple’s plan.

03 The Arctic Wolf floorplan family

Arctic Wolf is Forest River's value-mid full-size fifth wheel — a step below the brand's own premium-mainstream sibling Sandpiper, and the value entry to Forest River full-size fifth-wheel ownership. Six of the most distinct 2026 floorplans are profiled here in full. The 3250SUITE on this page is highlighted; each other plan links to its own page.

Arctic Wolf is Forest River's value-mid full-size fifth wheel — a step below the brand's own premium-mainstream sibling Sandpiper, and the value entry to Forest River full-size fifth-wheel ownership. Six of the most distinct 2026 floorplans are profiled here in full; the remaining catalogued retail plans (285OPT, 387ML, 3650SUITE, 3750SUITE, 38DST, 3950SUITE) and one Dealer Stock Only plan (the rear-deck 3800DECK) are listed on the hub but not profiled. Every plan is built on a 2-inch full-cage aluminum frame with laminated exterior walls under the Elemental Protection Package, an enclosed and heated underbelly with 12-volt tank heat pads, automatic leveling, a 50-amp service, a tankless water heater, a 35,000-BTU furnace, a 5,200-BTU electric fireplace, a 15,000-BTU central air conditioner, solid-surface counters, an 81-gallon Niagara fresh tank line-wide and a mandatory 100-watt Juice Pack solar package (expandable to 500 watts) with a Series 27 battery and a 30-amp charge controller as standard. Hitch weight, UVW and CCC are published per plan on the Forest River factory page; GVWR is derived as UVW plus CCC per the manufacturer's own definition. The numeric per-axle GAWR is not separately published for Arctic Wolf (the line splits between 7,000-lb and 8,000-lb tandem axle groups by plan). UVW is a factory estimated average; real loaded pin weights run higher — always weigh the loaded coach and confirm against your truck's payload and rear-axle ratings.

04 What owners & reviewers report

First bed-slide premium plan in the line

A front king bed slide with a sun bench, a bedroom fireplace and washer/dryer prep — the line’s step up into bed-slide suite living.

Bigger 16-cubic-foot refrigerator

It carries a 16-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator rather than the 10-cubic-foot unit on the lighter plans — more cold storage for longer stays.

Rear living + theater + 50-inch television

A rear living room with opposing slides, theater seating, a hidden pantry, a 50-inch television and panoramic windows — a residential couple’s relaxer.

Wants a three-quarter-ton+ truck

At 36 feet on a derived 12,040-lb GVWR, confirm a properly rated three-quarter-ton or larger truck’s payload and rear axle.

05 How it compares

The lighter rear-living couple’s plan — a 10-cubic-foot refrigerator and a queen bed instead of a king bed slide and a 16-cubic-foot refrigerator.

The flagship — a bath-and-a-half with a standard washer and dryer and a true laundry room, far longer and heavier.
