Personally I like the Northstar campers. I have traveled over 150,000 miles with my 850SC on a Dodge 2500 diesel quad cab with no problems. You just CANNOT beat Northstar customer service!!!! I don't think you would be unhappy with the 850. It has a toilet and inside shower (never used the shower)as well as everything you could need for a hunting trip. I'm on a hunt now towing a 5 X 8 trailer with gear and freezer. A great combination.

Grant, I looked into this and really like this model, hadn't actually thought a full bathroom was an option but this would be nice. Only problem is they don't seem to be very common, I'm not seeing many on rv.trader or in inventory at dealers. I have run across a number of Palomino/Forest River ones that are very similar in layout and specs (their ss-1251 model). Several of those are available in the $10,500-11,000 range for new 2017 units. I suspect Forest River isn't the build quality of Northstar, but I wonder if this might not be a decent option for the money.
I did take a run up to Syracuse this afternoon to look at a "new" 2014 Travel Lite pop-up, but when I got there it turned out that unit had been on the lot so long it was water damaged. They were sending it back to the factory, but I did get to look at it. Wasn't exactly a confidence builder. :R Also looked at the hard side models, but for the prices they were asking for, none of them really moved me.
