I have a 2016 Chevy 3500 with a Northstar Laredo SC on the back. The camper wiring is plugged into the trailer hitch receptacle that is OEM on the truck.The camper has a battery cutoff switch. When the switch is off and I am not plugged into 110V and...
I am running a Chevy diesel 3500 with a Northstar Laredo on the back. I do a little off-roading, but nothing radical. Mostly 4wd is for sand, mud and snow. I do drive some dirt roads with sharp rocks, like out to the Racetrack in Death Valley (I typi...
I am not intending to start a flame war, but just curious on the pros and cons of the two brands. I am likely going to buy a 2016. I know each must have its "issues" and strengths and each will have its fans and detractors. I am mostly trying to sor...
I have a new Northstar Laredo SC (dry wt 2100) on an F150 with helper springs. While the F150 does a pretty darn good job with the load despite the specs (took it on a long trip to Utah and it did rather well), I am truck shopping. I will be looking ...
I currently have a Northstar TC800 pop-up on an F150 4x4. I have had the rig about 11 years. The camper has a dry weight of 1,760 pounds. The truck handles the weight fine with the aid of helper springs. I am thinking of going to a hardwall and have ...
Burr Trail is very easy. Hell's Backbone is also easy when there is no snow, but I think the Burr has more photogenic opps. Do both if you are there in the right season. The Wolverine loop off the Burr trail has some nice scenery along it and is also...

I read the reviews on the OEM locks (not particularly good) and opted for long shank Master locks. The Fastgun covers the gas door, so it is even a nice "locking gas cap". It takes 20 seconds to take the lock off and then the fastgun.
Has anyone ever tried the Truckclaws or knows anyone who has? I like the concept but I have not seen any user reviews other than the videos on the manufacturer's website.
As long as it is dry, it is extremely easy. You might hit a little bit of washboard here and there, but no big deal. Dry, it is 2 wheel drive the whole way. Passenger cars do the trail all the time. I have not driven the lower section to Bullfrog rot...
