01 What makes it unique
Northwood lists the Arctic Fox NXT 295RL at 12,735 lb dry, a GVWR of 15,800 lb, a net carrying capacity of 3,065 lb and a pin weight of 2,545 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 34’7″ long and 13’4″ high. Northwood prints its tanks as 88 gal fresh, 67 gal grey, 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 9 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 295RL, which names no model year; the figures are shown as the maker published them, and no year is claimed for them.

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 (15,800 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (3,950 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 295RL
Northwood prints no interior height 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
11,025 lb dry and 13,600 lb GVWR, against this model’s 12,735 lb and 15,800 lb.
12,768 lb dry and 16,300 lb GVWR, against this model’s 12,735 lb and 15,800 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), 24% of the Arctic Fox NXT 295RL’s 3,065 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,335 lb (584 lb per rated berth). Across 5 Arctic Fox NXT fifth-wheel floorplans the water share runs 24% to 49%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: Arctic Fox NXT 275LE at 28%. 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
