Do you have a Laredo SC? What do you like about it? What do you not like? What truck do you have it on? What cab configuration? What length truck bed?

here are my comparisons and take aways: I love the Northstar Laredo, if it was just my wife and I, I do not believe we would be in a Wolf Creek. I regret selling the Laredo, and it would be nice to have it for extreme off road adventures, heading down into baja, heading out with just me and the kids. That said I love the wolf creek and the amount of storage, etc.
Battery compartment on side next to the propane, water heater in the rear and outside shower above the water heater. I believe you could get another battery under the sink area, It is hard to just have one propane tank, especially when winter camping, and extended trips. I ended up buying a small bottle to carry along in an emergency.
cassette toilet in rear and gray tank dump valve below: 13 gallons vs 20 gallons in the wolf creek: I am not a fan of the cassette toilet, especially with more people using it. 4 gallons of fresh water and only 5 gallons of holding capacity limit your use when boondocking. Of course they are ways around this...
Off Road Use: much more worthy and less swaying going on, but sill regardless you are taking it slow with a TC
wolf creek comparison: There IS a Difference when offroading
width comparison: much narrower 6" on each side
definitely get more movement of the camper, when off roading
winter use: harder on a family of 4 in the camper and this was one of the main reasons we kept going bigger: wood framed camper vs. aluminum: aluminum definitely gets colder and sweats, however the jacks anchored into wood I am not a fan of.
tunnel in Zion: Laredo and my f350 could pass through no problem do not need the special escort: with the wolf creek you need to pay the extra $15.
