I know you say you're not worried about weight, but you should be IMO. Northern lite has a 1,000 lbs lighter wet weight. HUGE difference. 3500lbs vs 4500lbs. Will be night and day difference. (See Truck camper Magazines buyers guide)-http://www.truckcampermagazine.com/buyers-guide/hard-side/
Northern Lite is one of the most expensive and highly regarded TC's on the market. Would be my choice in your shoes if fits the budget, good luck.

One may take into account the intended usage of the camper (driving on pavement only, fire roads, real 4WD roads), available features, the "feel" of the camper, and truck size, when deciding on a camper. Airstream makes light, expensive, and highly regarded TTs, but that doesn't mean they meet everyone's needs.
