New Northstar STC model

For some reason when I read these posts, I think of Sharktank. Some of you like this model, and others list what you don't like, and then say "I'm out".

I was thinking the same.

IMHO, Northstar faithful will be one of markets for this TC. I don't see it swaying many owners of double and even triple slideout campers to downsize.

Some mentioned some interior layout disagreements (don't we all have our own preferences?) while lack of storage was also noted. Having lived with a N* for a few years, I understand that they are a bit off center from what mainstream TCs have become.

Their designs may seem pretty basic and different- but after sitting down and talking with Bill Penney ("Mr Truck Camper Warehouse") we saw that there are some very sound reasons behind why Northstar builds what they do. Some little things, some big concepts.

One of the big concepts was to keep overall height to a minimum, so no basement. Northstar has been keeping their outside dimensions as small as possible so the tanks are very flat. BTW, our N* 850SC pop-up had a very flat grey tank and we never had a problem.
And if you have never had a cassette toilet, be grateful because then you don't know what you are missing. I wish that our current Lance had one.

Just a few thoughts. But right now I wish we had a long bed truck b/c we would be one of the first in line for one of these campers.
