My RV Consumer Group Guide rates most Desert Fox 5er 3 stars on a 0 to 5 star scale. A few are rated 3.5 and 4 stars. On the other hand all Arctic Fox and Nash trailers are rated 4 stars.. My feeling is that if Northwood Mfg makes it, it's going to be good.

The only bad thing about Northwood Mfg is that they still equip all the trailers they make with China ST junk tires. As soon as we got our Arctic Fox 5er home, I had Discount Tire swap all 5, 16" China tires for Michelin XPS Rib LT, 16" tires. It wasn't cheap, but I believe it was well worth it.

If you give me the model number to the Desert Fox you're interested in, I will look it up and tell you what my guide has to say about it.
