01 What makes it unique
Northwood lists the Arctic Fox Edge 26MK at 8,480 lb dry, a GVWR of 12,800 lb, a net carrying capacity of 4,320 lb and a tongue weight of 1,320 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 30’7″ long and 12’0″ high. Northwood prints its tanks as 100 gal fresh, 55 gal black.
Among the 12 Arctic Fox Edge floorplans Northwood’s Arctic Fox Edge model pages on northwoodmfg.com (no model year stated) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 4 from the lightest, in a range from 6,545 lb (Arctic Fox Edge 22GT) to 14,825 lb (Arctic Fox Edge 365VS). Every figure in that comparison is Northwood’s, read from the same set of model pages.
Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from Northwood’s own Arctic Fox Edge model pages on northwoodmfg.com (no model year stated) for the Arctic Fox Edge 26MK, which names no model year; the figures are shown as the maker published them, and no year is claimed for them.
How the 26MK differs from the other six Arctic Fox Edge travel trailers. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Tongue weight, 1,320 lb: heaviest of seven; next is the 24SK (1,270 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 15.6%: largest of seven; next is the 24SK (14.9%).
- Cargo capacity, 4,320 lb: second-largest of seven, between the 24SK (4,270 lb) and the 26KX (4,415 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 33.8%: third-largest of seven, between the 24SK (33.4%) and the 26KX (34.5%).
- Length, 30 ft 7 in: third-longest of seven, between the 26KX (29 ft 9 in) and the 27SX (31 ft 2 in).
- Dry weight, 8,480 lb: fourth-lightest of seven, between the 26KX (8,385 lb) and the 24SK (8,530 lb).
- Black tank, 55 gal: largest of seven, level with the 26KX and 27SX; next are the 24SK and 27RK (42 gal).
Next to the 26KX, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 26MK is 95 lb heavier by dry weight, has 95 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 255 lb heavier and is 10 in longer; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior height, fresh tank, black tank and sleeping capacity.
Next to the 24SK, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 26MK is 50 lb lighter by dry weight, has 50 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 50 lb heavier, is 1 ft 8 in longer, stands 2 in taller, has a fresh tank 10 gal larger, has a black tank 13 gal larger and sleeps two more; the two publish the same GVWR.

A tire recall covers only the brands, lines and DOT date codes it lists, and this page does not know which brand of tire this trailer was built with, so read the brand and DOT code on your own sidewalls before relying on this list. Only 242 of NHTSA’s 788 tire recalls name a size in their summary, so a size with no match is not a clean record (NHTSA recall file, read 12 Oct 2026).

Towing it
Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (12,800 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,920 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433). The range starts at the published figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Northwood does not publish for the Arctic Fox Edge 26MK
Northwood prints no interior height, grey-tank for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.
05 How it compares
8,385 lb dry and 12,800 lb GVWR, against this model’s 8,480 lb and 12,800 lb.
8,530 lb dry and 12,800 lb GVWR, against this model’s 8,480 lb and 12,800 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 100-gallon fresh tank is about 830 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 19% of the Arctic Fox Edge 26MK’s 4,320 lb cargo capacity, leaving 3,490 lb (872 lb per rated berth). Across 7 Arctic Fox Edge travel-trailer floorplans the water share runs 17% to 31%, and 4 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Arctic Fox Edge 26KX at 19% and Arctic Fox Edge 27SX at 20%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Arctic Fox Edge 27SX, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 30 ft 7 in vs 31 ft 2 in; dry weight 8,480 lb vs 8,770 lb; GVWR 12,800 lb vs 13,000 lb; cargo capacity 4,320 lb vs 4,230 lb; hitch weight 1,320 lb vs 1,185 lb. They match on sleeps, fresh tank and black tank.
