New Rugged Mountain Granite 11RL, what do you think?

What do you think of the write-up done over at Truck Camper Magazine on this new camper?

I'm looking to full-time starting next July, don't own anything now but have 4 weeks of TC rental experience and 3 weeks of class c.

What a nice interior!

The only issue I have is the single pane aluminum framed windows, which are poor for condensation and temperature control, Also needs fantastic fan, but easy fix. My concern is so if I leave for a 2-3 hour bike ride, I have extra safety margin for leaving the dog inside.

Because of the interior choices, camper is a little heavier, oh well, still lighter than slide out model.

What do you experienced owners see or not see in this TC?

thanks,
Dave

    Everyone has different wants and needs for the interior but I do like the layout..Northland campers had an excellent reputation.I would have bought one in a heartbeat when I was looking but there are not many for sale.They make interior space available others don't..Very important to many.

    I like it! I like the forthright layout and would prefer the center bathroom overt the majority of rear baths. The rear kitchen creates more "openness" right away when entering wile the center bath creates more privacy to the bunk.

    It is on the heavier side. One will need a dually or properly equiped SRW. I mage that most folks who have a dually will want a slide-out. But I am not a fan of slide-outs on slide-ins... and as such the amenities and layout of this one really caught my eye on this design.

    It does have horizontal LP tanks- i get that they needed them this way to get the floor plan, but it is nice to have the regular type stand-up LP tanks in case one want to exchange them.
