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. Forest River publishes no GVWR for this line, so no loaded rating is quoted here, 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.
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.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 27SGS | 30 ft | 4 | Rear living, dual opposing slides, lightest and shortest, under 10,000 GVWR |
| 289PANO | 35 ft | 4 | New for 2026, dual-opposing panoramic rear living, second A/C standard |
| 287BH | 35 ft | 10 | Front bedroom + rear bunkhouse, family plan, sleeps up to ten |
| 3250SUITE | 36 ft | 4 | Up-equipped rear-living suite, king bed slide, theater seating |
| 331BH | 38 ft | 10 | Two bedrooms + two baths, family bunkhouse-suite, sleeps up to ten |
| 38LEAH.G | 44 ft | 4 | RV News 2026 RV of the Year; washer/dryer standard, longest and heaviest |
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 not published by Forest River for this line. 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 Notes on this floorplan
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 with no published 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.
Forest River’s premium-mainstream full-size fifth wheel a tier above — a richer construction and equipment package at a higher price.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 81-gallon fresh tank is about 676 lb of water, 28% of the 3250SUITE’s 2,372 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,696 lb (424 lb per rated berth). Across 15 Arctic Wolf floorplans the water share runs 11% to 35%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Arctic Wolf 289PANO at 26% and Arctic Wolf 27SGS at 32%.
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Arctic Wolf 289PANO, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 4 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 36 ft 1 in vs 34 ft 9 in; dry weight 9,668 lb vs 9,348 lb; cargo capacity 2,372 lb vs 2,622 lb; dry hitch weight 1,840 lb vs 1,770 lb. They match on sleeps, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not
17 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the 3250SUITE. Not published: GVWR, tire size (a description is published, a size is not).

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 2 recall campaigns and 3 owner complaints against the Arctic Wolf line. They are counted separately: a recall is a confirmed defect with a remedy, a complaint one owner’s unverified account.
Too few reports to show a pattern. 3 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover structure and wheels.
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Arctic Wolf line page.
