01 What makes it unique
Northwood lists the Arctic Fox NXT 295RK at 12,768 lb dry, a GVWR of 16,300 lb, a net carrying capacity of 2,532 lb and a pin weight of 2,810 lb. Northwood’s own figures do not add up — a conflict, stated not resolved: 12,768 lb dry plus 2,532 lb carrying capacity is 15,300 lb, against a printed GVWR of 16,300 lb. All three are shown as Northwood prints them and none is corrected; the federal label on the trailer is the one to trust.
It is 33’10” long and 13’6″ 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 10 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 295RK, which names no model year; the figures are shown as the maker published them, and no year is claimed for them.
How the 295RK differs from the other four Arctic Fox NXT fifth wheels. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Exterior height, 13 ft 6 in: tallest of five; next are the 275LE, 325MK and 365VS (13 ft 5 in).
- Pin weight as a share of dry weight, 22%: second-largest of five, between the 275LE (20.2%) and the 325MK (22.5%).
- Length, 33 ft 10 in: second-shortest of five, between the 275LE (29 ft 9 in) and the 295RL (34 ft 7 in).
- Dry weight, 12,768 lb: third-lightest of five, between the 295RL (12,735 lb) and the 325MK (13,860 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 2,532 lb: third-smallest of five, between the 325MK (2,440 lb) and the 275LE (2,575 lb).
- Pin weight, 2,810 lb: third-lightest of five, between the 295RL (2,545 lb) and the 365VS (2,840 lb).
- GVWR, 16,300 lb: highest of five, level with the 325MK; next is the 365VS (16,000 lb).
Next to the 295RL, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 295RK is 33 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 500 lb higher, has 533 lb less cargo capacity, has a pin weight 265 lb heavier, is 9 in shorter and stands 2 in taller; the two publish the same fresh tank, black tank and sleeping capacity.
Next to the 325MK, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 295RK is 1,092 lb lighter by dry weight, has 92 lb more cargo capacity, has a pin weight 310 lb lighter, is 3 ft shorter and stands 1 in taller; the two publish the same GVWR, fresh tank, black tank and sleeping capacity.

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 (16,300 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (4,075 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern. This floorplan’s published dry weight plus cargo capacity comes to 15,300 lb, which is not its published GVWR; the check uses the published GVWR.
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 295RK
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
12,735 lb dry and 15,800 lb GVWR, against this model’s 12,768 lb and 16,300 lb.
13,860 lb dry and 16,300 lb GVWR, against this model’s 12,768 lb and 16,300 lb.
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), 29% of the Arctic Fox NXT 295RK’s 2,532 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,802 lb (450 lb per rated berth). Across 5 Arctic Fox NXT fifth-wheel floorplans the water share runs 24% to 49%, and 2 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Arctic Fox NXT 275LE at 28% and Arctic Fox NXT 325MK at 30%. 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 NXT 325MK, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 4 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 33 ft 10 in vs 36 ft 10 in; dry weight 12,768 lb vs 13,860 lb; cargo capacity 2,532 lb vs 2,440 lb; hitch weight 2,810 lb vs 3,120 lb. They match on sleeps, GVWR, fresh tank and black tank.
