thanks, sounds good

Have owned small trailer (T@b),very nice and well-built,B+ motorhome,lots of fun,not so well-built,and now have a Northstar Freedom. We bought ours used,but well cared for,and mounted it on a new 2016 F250 4wd SC. Minimal insurance cost,no registration,very little maintenance and no taxes. We have put about 15,000 miles on it in the last two seasons with zero problems. This includes many miles off road in the Southwest,up and down the Rockies( much off road),and extensively through northern Maine logging roads and the beaches of Cape Cod.
I would recommend this brand to anyone who wants a quality TC.

We love ours. Our next TC will be a Northstar. And the customer service is second to none.

We bought a Northstar. Build quality is outstanding and solid. There were a few minor things/annoyances that were remedied for us. I'm sure that is the case with all RVs.
We looked at ALL other major makes and picked Northstar for many, many reasons. We much preferred the interior "feel" of Northstars over AF and others. We were not really impressed by the so called "quality" of EC and Adventurer. If we hadn't gotten our particular Northstar (needed room for 4 sleeping, ability to add lots of solar, "mod-ability",etc.) it would have been a Northern Lite for sure!
Do a search here, you will find much more info.

I was seriously considering a Northstar, but decided to go with a trailer (T@B) instead. If I had pursued a camper, I probably would have bought the Northstar. I had an Arctic Fox 990 for 8 years, but traded it for a fifth wheel; we wanted something more substantial to camp in. But then, we were missing some of the boondocking sites we used to camp in. Hence, the relook at a camper. The T@B will fill that need quite nicely. Anyway, I did some research on truck campers in that price range, and the Northstar came out well at that price point. There are, clearly, better ones out there, but you'll pay more for them.
