I would say you need at least 200 watts of solar and at least one lithium battery to keep it rolling, depending on where and when you camp. While it does a good job of keeping the grub at food-safe temperatures, it’s something you’re going to want to keep supplied with the Edison juice if you’re going to be off the grid. Having this same fridge in my own travel trailer it is a bit of a power hungry little beast. If you’re expecting to run that 12-volt fridge with a 50-watt solar panel, I am here to tell you that it will run.
#ARCTIC WOLF CAMPER HOW TO#
If you forget how to drain the sink, just think of those family nights around the Monopoly table and that one angry player who turns the whole table over when he didn’t get the race car. There’s also a “dog bowl” sink that you drain by flipping over, and a two-burner stove. In addition to the icemaker outside, there’s a very small bar fridge. Something that brand is known for is including an icemaker with all their rigs-this one being no exception. However, at the foot of the bed in the wall that is shared with the bathroom, there’s a nicely sized hanging closet along with a shoe garage.Īrctic Wolf is part of the Cherokee family. There is a drawer in each nightstand but the nightstands are really low. While the bed is just that, on either side of it, the cabinets that you might expect to be closets are just cabinets. The upstairs bedroom is differently arranged than I’ve seen before. She has told me so.Ī different upstairs bedroom in the Arctic Wolf 261RK Though, I must say, I know how to push her buttons, too. My wife and I have adapted well to this with our own trailer, where I’m the geek using the app and she pushes the buttons. But, if you’re not a phone person, you can just push buttons. Since this trailer is set up to work with Lippert’s One Control app, there’s a control panel that enables this. This cutting board is held to the wall magnetically and makes for a useful item. Some of the nicer touches in the kitchen include a cutting board that doubles as the backsplash on the stove. Some nice touches in the kitchen of the Arctic Wolf 261RK If there were one place not to have carpeting, that would be the place. But I really do not like the carpeting under the table. The only dining choice is a table and chairs with the table top being a live edge simulation.

This could just be a couch or two recliners or whatever combination works for you. It incorporates two recliners but also a removable armrest.
#ARCTIC WOLF CAMPER TV#
The reason is that some want a fancy smart TV and others just have something sitting around that’ll do “in the camper.” And others may want to seek out one powered by 12-volt or just have no TV, which would likely be my choice.Īcross from the place where the TV might go is a two-place couch. But these don’t come with a TV, and I like that. The slide room has a spot for a TV and cabinets behind that. Oftentimes you’ll see something like a coffee bar here, but not in this case. On the bulkhead at the front of the main living space is a long bench, above which are coat hooks and cabinets and below are storage cubbies. Interesting layout in the Arctic Wolf 261RK Having one of these myself, I know for a fact that that 50-watt solar panel isn’t going to keep that thing running. That being written, this also comes with a 12-volt DC compressor fridge. There’s also a solar panel that comes standard, but this is primarily for acting as a battery tender more than anything else. Plus, as written, it’s included with the trailer. Rather than putting one more screen on your truck’s instrument panel, having the backup camera on your phone makes much more sense. Also, even though it’s illegal in many places, a good number of us have a dash mount like the Nite Ize one I reviewed a while back. I like this solution a lot because you almost always have your phone with you. It works with the same Lippert One Control smartphone app as a number of nifty gadgets I’ve seen lately. It’s something I’m seeing on almost all fifth wheels nowadays, including the ones at the lower end of the price spectrum.Īnother thing that comes standard in this fifth wheel is a Lippert backup camera.
