01 What makes it unique
The 331BH is Arctic Wolf’s two-bedroom, two-bath family flagship and the plan that opens the line up the widest for a crowd. It pairs a private front queen bedroom and a full bath with a center island kitchen and a rear bunkhouse suite — a 54-by-74-inch bunk, a 60-by-80-inch loft bunk and the suite’s own second bath with an exterior entry — plus a U-shaped dinette or booth, a tri-fold sleeper sofa, an electric fireplace, a 50-inch LED television and an outdoor kitchen, under two dual-opposing slide-outs, sleeping up to ten. For the two baths it carries a bigger 70-gallon black tank, and a second 15,000-BTU air conditioner is standard. 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 9,914-pound UVW and a 1,931-pound CCC, which derive an 11,845-pound GVWR (the manufacturer’s own definition is that CCC equals GVWR minus UVW), against a 1,645-pound dry pin. Twin 15,000-BTU air conditioners, a 35,000-BTU furnace, a 5,200-BTU electric fireplace, a tankless water heater, a 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 dual power awnings.
US street pricing commonly runs in the low-to-mid $50,000s. It is the two-bedroom, two-bath family Arctic Wolf. For a family or multi-generation crowd that wants a private front bedroom, a rear bunkhouse suite with its own second bath and exterior entry, two dual-opposing slides and a second air conditioner standard — sleeping up to ten, towed behind a properly rated three-quarter-ton or larger truck — the 331BH is the line’s family flagship.

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 331BH on this page is highlighted; each other plan links to its own page.

| 289PANO | 35 ft | 4 | New for 2026, dual-opposing panoramic rear living, second A/C standard |
| 287BH | 35 ft | 10 | Front bedroom + rear bunkhouse, most popular family plan, sleeps up to ten |
| 3250SUITE | 36 ft | 4 | Up-equipped rear-living suite, king bed slide, theater seating |

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
Two bedrooms + two baths + sleeps up to ten
A private front queen bedroom and a rear bunkhouse suite with its own second bath and exterior entry — two real separated sleeping zones sleeping up to ten.
Second bath, second A/C, bigger black tank
For the two baths it carries a 70-gallon black tank and a second 15,000-BTU air conditioner standard — built for a full crowd off hookups.
Rear suite with private exterior entry
The rear bunkhouse suite has its own exterior door — kids or guests can come and go without crossing the main living area.
Wants a three-quarter-ton+ truck
At 38 feet on a derived 11,845-lb GVWR, confirm a properly rated three-quarter-ton or larger truck; a dealer listing showed a heavier as-built unit (10,195 lb) once optioned, so weigh the specific coach.
05 How it compares
The lighter family plan — a single-slide front-bed-plus-bunkhouse layout instead of a two-bedroom, two-bath dual-opposing suite.
Keystone’s two-bedroom fifth wheel — a mainstream family cross-shop a tier across.
Forest River’s premium-mainstream full-size fifth wheel a tier above — a richer package at a higher price.
