    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Thought I should probably update things in case anyone is interested. The new electrical modifications and the 12V DC minisplit worked great on my Spring trip to Utah and northern Arizona/New Mexico. I can also close off the sleeping area with the factory curtain and just cool that tiny area...

    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    montypower, did any of your videos go over how you patched the hole in the roof where they had originally installed that skylight/vent in the factory AC opening? I also need to pull the original, jet engine sounding factory AC unit and seal that opening which will free up space for some...

    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    montypower, thanks again for all the videos and posts on your rig. Crazy bear encounter stuff. Yikes. I've been absent for quite awhile, but thought I'd share some updates on my Liberty. -After my Spring trip to Utah this year I had a FlexArmor roof applied to the rig. -Added a...

    New All Terrain Tire from Nokian, Outpost AT

    One more thing. I had to go check and it turns out these tires were made in Finland. These arrived and were installed in Fall of 2022 so they were still manufacturing some of these overseas at that point in time.

    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    However I think I am going to try to rig up something to push the shower curtain into the walk way a bit and give a little more shoulder/elbow room when showering. Got around to this today. Gives me several additional inches of shoulder room, which I will like. This was done with a couple...

    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Thanks. I'd be wanting something 12V I could plug into the camper battery. And physically small... If you know of a 12V infrared heater I'd be interested in checking it out.

    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Had a great 5 week trip. Including some pics of a few campsites the Liberty experienced. Did lots of biking and hiking, traversed climates from overnight lows in the teens to daytime temps in the upper 80's, and ice/sleet/snow and torrential rains and lots of rough washboard roads and some...

    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Some additional things I didn't have time to comment on. Sometime after you got your Liberty they transitioned to a 4 step ladder instead of a 5 step ladder and also transitioned to putting the ladder on the passenger side. I asked if they could build mine with the 5 step ladder on the driver...

    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Got it. It was a few weeks later than I was hoping and I was getting twitchy because I arranged a leave of absence from work coming up shortly and wanted to depart for Utah in a couple weeks... Been busy this weekend working in the CATL 302 LiFePO4 battery and the Renogy DCC50S DC to DC...

    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Question on how you went about getting the charging wires into the Liberty and to the DCC50S (I used this same unit on my previous Northernlite camper but found a way to use existing holes so I didn't have to make any new holes ... planning to reuse it along with my previous LiFePO4 300+ Ah...

    So, does the fridge sit on, and is surrounded by, that foam insullation material to help isolate the inside of the camper from the side and roof vents? If so, did Northstar build it that way or did you add that?

    I hadn't watched all of this one of your videos, but now I see you have some good shots of that fridge cabinet with the fridge removed. That is helpful.

    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    https://www.dometic.com/assets/49/30/installation%20and%20operating%20manual_64930.pdf Does your installation still have the under fridge venting/circulation as shown in Fig 8 of the installation manual? If it does, then without sealing the external side and roof vent openings wouldn't that...

    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Thanks for the feedback. "We've removed the fridge many times as all the solar wiring enters the camper through the fridge roof vent. We used some HVAC aluminum tape to seal the fridge vents. Extremely easy. Just around the top and bottom of the mounting flange. Simple solution." I'm trying...
