    Post Pics of Your Hard Side Camper!

    Very expensive but really good. We have a lot of weight up high (the floor inside the camper is over 6 feet up) and it manages it very well. Current weight: 17,840lbs. Pros: It "arrests the sway" so the camper doesn't keep rocking back and forth I can raise/lower 8+ inches. So when at camp...

    Request for NL/Bigfoot Fiberglass Camper Owners - Drain Holes in Floor

    I have a 2019 NL 10.2 LE EX and there are no drain holes from the interior (it is water tight) but the "external storage compartments" do have drains in the bottoms - i.e. generator compartment and propane tank compartments.

    Truck Suggestions? Let's hear your TC hauler thoughts!

    We have a 2015 F-350 diesel dually. Our 2019 Northern Lite (10.2 limited editon, dry bath) truck camper weighs 3380 dry... and add 500+lbs for fluids & stuff. Our truck is a bit heavier - platinum build - so that reduces our load capacity (our GVWR is upgraded to 13,000 and I'll bet we are close...

    Porkchop: We really like the improvements of the Limited Edition. The Sapele table is beautiful. The upgraded windows (with the way the awning/shade/mesh works) are the best we've ever seen in an RV. Even watching netflix on the TV before bed, we've yet to go below 80% on the batteries with...

    @redthies That's a good question. Our's is a 10-2 Limited Edition with dry bath and u-dinette. Fully loaded with every option. The manufacturer says the dry weight is 3285lbs. I don't know what it weighs real world - it is on my list of things to check out when I get a chance. My truck...

    Thanks - we're diggin' it :) We'd considered going to a 170ext van but they still do not have nearly the inside space that a TC has. We sold our van to a friend and he was there mountain biking with us this weekend so we got the opportunity to take a photo of our old rig and the new rig...

    Picked a 2019 NL 10.2 LE up last week. After 8 years of Sprinter Van Life we're loving all the extra space (and we're now 4x4 and only 3 feet longer!) ...and from our first weekend out this past weekend:

    Nice pics! Any tips on mounting the maxtrax to the tire? I use a couple of rox straps and then a cable lock for anti-theft. I ran them sideways for a while but I fear they restrict view of the brake lights from certain angles so switched to vertical. cheers, Ed

    It is just a home depot shovel. I cut a few inches off to make it fit tight (tire size dependent).
