looked at the bigfoot 2500 10.4 truck camper today surprised it has only one battery? no television no solar. also looked at the Northern lite 10-2excd dry bath not quite a dry bath as mirror always gets wet. The Northern Lite comes with two battery compartment one 95 watt solar panel a 24 inch television. I remember northern lite use to make a 10-2000 RR it was a true dry bath. Right now I am pondering they are both very close in price please convince me.

What you want us to convince you to?I have 2 batteries that with 1500W inverter use every morning to make 3/4l of coffee. DON'T DO THAT ON SINGLE BATTERY.30 years of RVing and never had working TV in any. :S

Hey there, Marine- I have always thought the Northern Light campers were pretty slick and for my next camper they will be a serious contender high up on my list. I know the BF's are of a similar construction type, but based on my bias and your desired options (and price range similarity) I would vote for the NL.I have not looked at my old NL brochures, but remind me... is the 10-2000 RR the one with the mid bathroom/ rear kitchen?

With what you're describing, a 2 battery compartment and other amenities even with the fogged mirror would trump the other. Man....2 batteries to make coffee? What is wrong with the cook top?

There are no espresso that will work with cooktop anyway and I had CO alarm coming on with heavy cooktop use in small space. Not too mention the steam and all additional heat.

We make coffee on the cooktop all the time with no alarms ;) Just open the vent and turn on the fan....if there is still condensation build up (when it's colder out) open some windows a crack and turn on the fantastic fan :D

If just one battery is the make or break, go with just one Lithium 100a, much cheaper per watt/duty cycle over the long haul...
