New New Wolf Creek 840

The 840 makes it a hard choice between the 850. I am however ordering the 850. The 850 just has more storage with the pantry. I also like the open cabover bed and the TV set up. I am able to swivel it so the kids can watch TV on the dinette and bunk and I can lay on the cabover and still see the TV. The 850 also has the freshwater tank perpendicular to the front of the camper which puts the weight more toward the front, but II am not sure if this actually makes a difference.

I'm in the same boat as you when it comes to the 840 vs 850. Both seem like excellent campers that you can't go wrong with. I'm thinking the 840 might haul better on a short bed with the mid-bath, but maybe Northwood took this into consideration with the 850 and both have about the same COG. I also like the extra exterior storage and generator compartment on the 850 with the short box version. You re-ordering a new 850 is a testament to how much you must have liked your first one, so I'll definitely be keeping that in mind.

Do you think Northwood going to a non-basement model will make that much of a difference with off road use? Wolf Creek Off Road Eagle cap offroadThe basement doesn't seem that high compared to other basement model campers (not sure exactly how high it is). On the 5 trips I took my previous WC 850 4 of those trips included off road use in washes and some protruding boulders. First Trip Report Here I noticed some additional sway but nothing out of the ordinary compared to my previous Eagle Cap 800 Lite non basement camper.

Nice videos and trip report! Just got to love the sound of a 7.3 working; that's one of the primary reasons I don't want to give up my truck. These are the types of trips I'd like to go out and do, but simply can't with my trailer in tow. It'd make it down the road in that first video, but I doubt It'd have any holding tanks left after that second one. :)
