Northern Lite truck camper or Cirrus 920

You can search here including archives, but the issue with the Cirrus is that they are relatively new started 2015 which doesn't give them much time to have a track record. Given those choices, I would buy the Northern Lite. When there have been problems, they've also stood behind them.

Have fun making your choice!

I have an 820. So not what you're looki g at. It does have same systems. Wife and i like fold out sink. The alde heater is very nice, quiet and heat seems to come from everywhere. Im gonna put some 2inch vents to let heat out of where heater is and water pump area. No reason to let it stay trapped in there. I also open door where reservoir is and crack under sink doors. As well as leave b-room door open so heat has chance to circulate. Opposite side of alde is 1 gallon hot water capacity. I make bucket of warm water and just use shower to wash off. Like windows and skylight. Fit anf finish is good imo.
I live in it 4 nights/wk as i live in a different city than i work in.

I don’t necessarily agree. New guys, trying to enter the market, may try harder in this internet and forum world. Things can go south quickly these days

Have you read the review of the Bigfoot on truckcampermagazine.com?

Bigfoot isn’t either, TxGearhead, what is your point?

Bigfoot is nice but a lot more money than a Northern lite have read the review though very similar camper

Hey Dave...let us know what you decide. Good luck with your decision.

I've looked at both and wouldn't be worried about buying either. Floor plans are a good bit different so let that make up your mind on which one to get. Take an hour and spend a fast forward day in each unit and things will get sorted out pretty quick on which unit is better. Include things like making meals, morning routine, stopping for a quick meal, etc. If you plan on having a dog with you, use a towel or pillow to simulate the dog and see how much under foot you get.

Another thing to consider is the tank sizes and make sure you have the capacities to handle how you will use the TC.

Good luck with the purchase.

I cannot comment on the Cirrus because I have not looked at them closely, just a quick walk through about a year ago.
I can comment on the Northern Lite as we purchased a 2017 8.11 SE. We love it, the clamshell design really sold me and the interior is top shelf quality. They are lighter than their counterparts in the same class. They are a true 4 season camper but so far, we have not camped at sustained temperatures below freezing and probably won't. That being said, the camper is insulated very well against summer heat also.
So far, we are very impressed and happy with the camper and I can highly recommend them.

I can't speak for Cirrus because I didn't buy one of their units, but I can say with all certainty that Northern-Lite stands behind their warranty. With respect to what the camper salesmen are telling you about fast-guns and the bed mat, ask to see it in writing. Norther-Lite didn't ask me about either one when I had a warranty claim.
