New Northstar STC model
Has anybody been to TC Warehouse and seen the new Northstar side entry camper?

Over-all, it's got a nice layout. It has an openness to it, without a cave/secret hideout over-cab bed. I'm not a fan of slide-outs, due to their mechanical requirements, maintenance, weight, heat transfer and potential inconvenience while en route.
The blank tank is tiny, 13 gallons, and I'm definitely not a cassette-toilet person. Also, I don't think I understand having more fresh water capacity than grey and blank tanks, combined. I guess you might drink a lot of water and go #1 outdoors. I would prefer closer to at least 15 black, with 25 grey and 30 (+6 in water heater) fresh.
The two table options aren't to my liking. The little one, with the what-the-heck-is-this-pole-in-my-way side-mounted system, looks too small and appears to barely fit 2 dinner plates. The booth-style can only sit two people and requires storage when not in use. I like a galley sink that faces a window, and you better have some sort of splatter guard in front of those blinds while cooking.
I would think towing would be a bear, and, especially while towing, you'd probably need a dually, anyway. The combined thermostat, umbrella stand, charging center and window in the over-the-booth bunk (that I can only see in one pic of the TCM write-up, captioned "13-foot crank-out awning on the passenger's side") are nice touches. The length and side entry are kinda cool, and having a dry bath would be fantastic, but this unit is not for my particular wants/needs.
