What am I missing on GVWR??

The Cirrus is a way better built camper than the Northstar. Plus the Cirrus doesn't have a cassette toilet, meaning you can swap the crapper out in the cirrus for a better composting toilet.

Why do you say this? One of the attractions to the northstar is the build quality, everything I've seen says that it's very good.
We prefer cassette and aren't interested in changing to a composting.


We were able to look at the 2020 820 and 720 this weekend. I really wish we could see the Northstar so we could make a decision....
Of the two, we prefered the 720. The layout and seating was much more comfortable, the interior felt roomy. There was a closet with a lower section for shoes right inside the door (shoe storage is one of the strangest problems in a TC I find). The 820 just felt like too much camper for us; huge fridge giant microwave, narrow hallway feel. They have improved the seating for 2020 with the Lagun table rather than the fixed one in the older models.

The finishing in the 720 did look significantly cheaper and poorly executed than the 820, especially since the 820 was only 3k more. For the money you get way more camper with the 820 but still with the weight, seating layout, and cassette, the 720 seemed like a better fit for us. If we didn't want to take a trailer, the choice would be tougher. If I could get the price down significantly I would go for the 720, but as priced it's too expensive for what it is. I've also decided to add the NS Laredo into the mix. If we got the 720 we'd have to buy a bigger hitch for the trailer, so if we were willing to do that for the 720, may as well consider the Laredo which gives us more room than the Liberty with similar weight and options. At this rate I might buy a camper for next summer :R
