I agree with mkish - Northstar will definitaley be more than willing to help out. (Not associated with Northstar, I've just had great customer support from them when needed)

I've been using the Fantastic Fan method since day one of receiving my Northstar. The only issue is that it's has a temperature control on it. If it's too cold, the fan won't turn on. I've used a lighter to heat up the element to "fake" it into being warmer than it really is. This allows the fan...

Hello PN yetti, I absolutely love my Northstar. I didn't get out in as much as I hoped this summer (do we ever?). If you go back and read some of my previous posts, you'll see how satisfied I've been with Northstar's customer service - unbelievable! The only issue I go back and forth with on...

Jordan, Your best bet with those questions would be to email Rex at Northstar. I don't know them personally, but the few times I've emailed, they have gone out of their way to be more than helpful.

Northstar also makes the TC800 for a short bed pickup... http://www.northstarcampers.com/online-catalog.php?view=item&parentId=11&catId=13&numId=31

Look into Northstar as well. The are a high quality camper with any of the ammenities you want, or don't want. They are not as pricey as Hallmark, either. I cannot say enough good things about their customer service! http://www.northstarcampers.com/

Northstar TC800xb will fit on a short bed.

C-train is ready to rock it! Looks GOOD!!

Good question(s). Sorry, I don't have any answers for you but I am curious as to what others have to say. I eventually want to get a solar panel as well, but am clueless to what I need.

Go for it! I started off with a 1987 Palomino Bronco and used it pretty extensively. I wanted an updated camper and better quality, so I went with the Northstar. One thing that was nice on the Bronco was the full size door for entering and exiting. The negative is that they don't seal well. I...

Just a thought/question concerning the floor plan: Wouldn't it be better to have the fridge, stove, sink, etc. toward the front to keep the weight a little more centered or forward? Where is the fresh water tank?

I think the triangular towers are made by Fleetwood.
