2026 Forest River Arctic Wolf38LEAH.G

The 38LEAH.G is Arctic Wolf’s flagship and the line’s halo plan — RV News’ 2026 RV of the Year in the mid-price fifth-wheel class, developed as a Forest River collaboration with the RV influencer Leah Goodrich as an extended-stay, digital-nomad full-timer coach. It is the only Arctic Wolf with a true laundry room and a standard washer and dryer (every other plan offers only prep), and one of two with a compact under-cabinet dishwasher. It pairs a bath-and-a-half with a king bed slide, a bedroom projector and fireplace, a butcher-block island, an oversized pantry, and an L-shaped sectional rear lounge with a desk workspace, under three slide-outs. At 43 feet 6 inches it is the longest Arctic Wolf, and at about 12,563 pounds dry it is the heaviest profiled. 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 12,563-pound UVW and a 2,772-pound CCC, which derive a 15,335-pound GVWR (the manufacturer’s own definition is that CCC equals GVWR minus UVW), against a 2,360-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 16-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, the standard washer and dryer, a dishwasher, 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 17-foot and 12-foot power awnings.

US street pricing has run around the mid-$60,000s (units have advertised near $63,995) with published MSRP higher. It is the award-winning, full-timer flagship Arctic Wolf. For a couple or a remote-working full-timer who wants a bath-and-a-half, a true laundry room with a standard washer and dryer, a dishwasher, a king bed slide and an L-shaped sectional with a desk in the longest, most-equipped coach of the line — towed behind a properly rated three-quarter-ton or larger truck — the 38LEAH.G is the line’s flagship and its RV-of-the-Year plan.

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 38LEAH.G on this page is highlighted; each other plan links to its own page.
