01 What makes it unique

Northwood lists the Arctic Fox NXT 275LE at 11,025 lb dry, a GVWR of 13,600 lb, a net carrying capacity of 2,575 lb and a pin weight of 2,225 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 29’9″ long and 13’5″ high. Northwood prints its tanks as 88 gal fresh, 65 gal black.

Among the 12 Arctic Fox NXT floorplans Northwood’s Arctic Fox NXT model pages on northwoodmfg.com (no model year stated) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 8 from the lightest, in a range from 5,910 lb (Arctic Fox NXT 22GT) to 14,505 lb (Arctic Fox NXT 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 NXT model pages on northwoodmfg.com (no model year stated) for the Arctic Fox NXT 275LE, which names no model year; the figures are shown as the maker published them, and no year is claimed for them.

How the 275LE differs from the other four Arctic Fox NXT fifth wheels. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Dry weight, 11,025 lb: lightest of five; next is the 295RL (12,735 lb).
  • GVWR, 13,600 lb: lowest of five; next is the 295RL (15,800 lb).
  • Pin weight, 2,225 lb: lightest of five; next is the 295RL (2,545 lb).
  • Length, 29 ft 9 in: shortest of five; next is the 295RK (33 ft 10 in).
  • Sleeping capacity, 2: smallest of five; next are the 295RK, 295RL and two others (4).
  • Cargo capacity, 2,575 lb: second-largest of five, between the 295RK (2,532 lb) and the 295RL (3,065 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 18.9%: second-largest of four, between the 325MK (15%) and the 295RL (19.4%).
  • Pin weight as a share of dry weight, 20.2%: third-smallest of five, between the 295RL (20%) and the 295RK (22%).

Next to the 295RL, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 275LE is 1,710 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 2,200 lb lower, has 490 lb less cargo capacity, has a pin weight 320 lb lighter, is 4 ft 10 in shorter, stands 1 in taller and sleeps two fewer; the two publish the same fresh tank and black tank.

Federal tire recalls naming this size. NHTSA’s recall file names ST235/85R16 in one tire recall: 21T018000 (Sailun Tire Americas, Inc., 2021; make SAILUN; models BLACKHAWK, BLACKLION, IRONHEAD, ROADX, SAILUN). 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

Tow rating needed13,600 lb
Published pin weight2,225 lb
Loaded pin weight, rule of thumb2,225–3,400 lb
In-bed fifth-wheel hitch rating needed13,600 lb towed / 3,400 lb pin
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger and the bed and cab load from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

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 (13,600 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (3,400 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.

Loaded range: 15–25% of GVWR on the pin, 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 NXT 275LE

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.

06 Loading it for a trip

A full 88-gallon fresh tank is about 730 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 28% of the Arctic Fox NXT 275LE’s 2,575 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,845 lb (922 lb per rated berth).

Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
