Indeed, the Wolf Creek is the built on the same assembly line and incorporates the same strict, quality control standards found in the Arctic Fox line. Fortunately for the consumer, these weight saving measures doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice build quality. Reductions were made to the interior as well. How did the company accomplish this? Well, for one they reduced the framing size from two inches to one inch and made the roof much thinner, too (you won’t be able to load 32 persons on a Wolf Creek roof). Sporting a “dry” weight of 2,008 pounds and a fully loaded “wet” weight of 3,000 pounds, the Wolf Creek 850N is a good 1,000 pounds lighter than a comparable sized Arctic Fox truck camper. This is a review of the company’s Wolf Creek 850N, the short-bed version of this truck camper. That’s why I found it refreshing when Northwood Manufacturing, the builders of the well-regarded Arctic Fox line of truck campers, decided to release a new line called the Wolf Creek, a lighter, hard-side, non-slide-out style of truck camper. In the mind of these manufacturers, bigger is better, but that isn’t always the case, especially when you consider the limited payloads of today’s pickup trucks. Many manufacturers are now building multiple slide-out campers–one model has as many as four–weighing in excess of 6,000 pounds. An alarming trend has recently taken place in the truck camper industry.
