The point is most people do not know your supposed to calk the seem that connects the two clam shells together,top and bottom 360 degree's around the TC...That is double the calk of just calking the roof of a lance,more than double..If you calked completely around the Lance including the sides and bed area,it would be closer in calk use,but you don't have to do that to a new Lance,just the older ones that have pulled apart over the years
Everything else is the exact same window to window/vent to vent/ladder rack etc..Nothing is different with the additions,they need to be calked..
So yes,the Northern Lite is a great TC but it is misleading to some that it takes less calk and is less likely to leak,that is false..There are plenty of post out there on there Northern Lites leaking as well as Lances but to give the opinion the Northern Lite is less prone to leaks,is wrong..It leaks just like every other camper out there depending how used..
I had that very thought that Northern Lite was less prone to leaks with easier maintenance until doing the research..They all leak and all need atleast yearly maintenance..
