We have a 2017 Northern Lite 8.11 SE and I have never felt like I have needed or wanted a black tank flush system. I use the Thetford chemicals and have never had an issue. I see no need to carry a wand with you while camping to use every time you drain your tanks.
Northern Lite is a great camper and I would say in the hard side, non-slide space they make the best camper. That being said, all of them have their down sides and can have issues but the ones I have had were with the components and nothing to do with Northern Lite. My refrigerator went bad and had to have it replaced under warranty and then my HD antenna was bad (bad batch during manufacturing) and that was replaced under warranty as well.
We looked at other campers like Northstar and Adventurer. Both of those campers are well built and nice but what I really liked was the clam shell design of the NL, which reduces the chance of leaks over traditional manufacturing processes. Not saying they can't lead because you still have vents etc. on the roof but the chances are a lot slimmer.
We also looked at Arctic Fox and they are also very nice but very, very heavy so that put them out of the running for us.
