No doubt Northstar has a great rep...and they have been a round a long time
They are pretty basic, tanks are not that big, construction methods are old school. However, none of those things should rule them out if they work for you. They are a proven design.
We have had both wood and aluminum framed campers. There is not much difference to the user. I would not hesitate to buy a wood framed camper. In fact there are some advantages to wood (flex, thermal transfer).
If we were looking for a no frills, well built, camper for 2...we would consider NS.

We agree with Bill
We had a NorthStar Arrow, and loved it. Bought new. Only problem was Dometic Fridge had a new model come out and had problem with it the first few days. Rex Willett President NorthStar. had us bring it up and they replaced it. no Charge.
As far as Dometic insulated Windows. They are Great and very well insulated. We've camped in many a below -0 temps and the windows were great. Nice big windows and easy to see through. I like how the bug screen rolls up into the window frame, and the sun shade (which blocks out all sunlight) rolls down into the widow frame.
As far as the Roof, If you ever had a problem Rex would take care of you. They go out of their way to help.
These are my opinions and experiences.
Have fun in the hunt for your TC.
