New Northstar STC model
Has anybody been to TC Warehouse and seen the new Northstar side entry camper?
Forum Discussion
I'll add my $0.02.
NS is known for old-school, well built, no-frills campers and this is true to their designs.
Some comments;
* Not much outside storage for a camper this size?
* The sink in the bath look unusable (straddle the toilet?)?
* Not sure about the comment you "can't" use slide in Montauk. Slides are not desirable on the beaches in the NE as you do rack your truck (off camber) due to the slope of the beach. Most beach campers don't use slides for this reason.
* Another fact of life beach camping is the need for short departure angles when climbing/descending dunes. I don't think that long over hang is going to work on the beach...
* I don't like the step in the kitchen counter. I would sacrifice some cabinet height to keep the counter continuous (near the stove).
* 12 v heaters for the tanks? Better get solar...
* I don't see a coat closet?
Now the good;
* The floor plan is nice and wide open for a non-slide. I do believe there is a market for this type of camper.
* There is a ton of inside storage
* Huge awning
* NS did a good job keeping weight down.
