We bought a 2003 northern lite in 2006 used. Had cosmetic damage inside that I fixed. Would have never bought it new at full price. One of those to good to pass up deals. Been a grate truck camper! Hunted in zerro deg temps and all worked with some added insulation here and there to keep the water flowing.It is 10' 2" and 2425lbs dry. That one Campmeat got is a beautiful outfit! Hes gots penneys to burn? :chuckle:



Northern lites get very good reviews.

My wife bought it for me so I can leave and be gone all the time............. Hmmmmm ? Maybe I just thought of something I better ask her about.  :chuckle:
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

good thing you got a small lightweight camper for that "truck"



3200 lbs of camper, ain't quite light weight there sonny boy. Plus our car trailer, ATV and Side x Side too. Get 'er done !!
Wow, I would have never thought that Eagle Caps were that heavy.
My Arctic Fox 990 is 3280 dry weight.  Fully loaded for a 2 week elk hunt to Wyoming a few years back, I scaled out at 5,028 pounds over the trucks normal weight.  It was a little heavy - I was crawling over stuff to get down the aisle.   :chuckle:
Nice camper Meat, hope the Cheby makes it home every time.   :chuckle:

I got a northland truck camper.

I think it's 10.5 foot, electric jacks, awning and such.  I really like it except when I take all the kids then its the suck  :(

The camper has everything, gen, A/C, slide, all compartments are heated and it carries 49 gallons water, and 29 (?) gallons in grey and black water each. That Cheby didn't miss a beat coming home from Pasco. It's the first diesel I've ever owned and I like it. Lotsa power to spare with the camper on.
