In the past, this forum didn’t tolerate commenting on the price of a members For Sale ad. The only reason it may possibly be acceptable in this case is because the seller has stated several times that the rig is priced right. FWCs that are priced right are sold in minutes and hours, sometimes...

I took a look at those 210 panels, I probably would have gone with them had I seen them... thanks for the link Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks for the input. Too late on the panels . I could probably return the controller, but it’s rated for 4 100 watt panels. I assumed because I’m flat mounting the panels that I wouldn’t max it out. Plus with 2 parallel sets of two panels in series , I won’t see max current I’ll double check...

Ok thanks for the help I didn’t really do any calcs for loading, but my previous camper had similar loads with the same battery capacity and worked out great. The previous camper had no solar though , so I needed to drive a ways or plug in. The 400 watts looks like a good match to recharge the...

I thought about the third piece, I even have a piece left, but it would get pretty thick and I didn’t want to make a mess out of the track that the canvas attached to. Did you ever end up with new canvas? I thought I saw a post where you might upgrade when you replaced your roof. Sent from my...

Anyone want to see if this makes the most sense. Four 100w 12v Renogy mono panels 100/30 Victron SmartSolar controller Two 100ah Renogy agm batteries for now Magnum MMS1012 charger inverter Going on the roof of a Northstar TC800 truck camper I was going to connect two panels in series, then...

Well done, I imagine you won’t have much problem selling this, looks like a quality build. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It took me two mornings because my son was at work in the afternoon and it’s a two person job. It wasn’t very difficult to get the torsion spring back in the correct spot. I marked the spring and the rear bracket with a sharpie before taking it apart. It did take a few hammer blows with the...

Well I pulled the torsion spring brackets off and put a pc of 1/8” stainless plate on the outside (3x6”)and a 2”x40” pc of carbon steel on the inside. Raises much easier now as the tubes were torqued about 30 degrees Forgot to take pics Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

So I found the instructions for taking the lift apart. I understand you prop the roof up with 2x4s, the instructions said I could use short ones between the camper and the roof, but I don’t really see how the whole roof won’t just tip off? Is one torsion bar and the canvas enough to keep it...

Ok thank you, I’ll look for the info Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Ok thank you I assume the springs are loaded when the top is down? I want to pull the bolts and put a reinforcing plate under them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Quick question. Kind of hard to see, but there are three bolts on each rear roof corner that hold the lifting mechanism(two on each side on the rear and one on each side) Are these from the factory? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It’s good stuff, I did consider doing the seams and the vents and fans. Maybe I still will. Thanks for the reply Does your camper have three roof vents/fans? Mine does, seems overkill on a small camper, maybe someone added the middle one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Mine has the manual roof lift. I forgot what a head banger it is when seated in the dinette with the top down I told the guy I bought it from that I was surprised it had the fiberglass siding, I figured he had the year wrong, must be one of the first years?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I thought Northstars used real wood cabinets? This has some fake wood stuff that looks nice, but scratches easily Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I picked up a 2000 Northstar TC 800 over the weekend. It’s in really nice shape for the age, was kept under a roof for much of its life. The seals need redoing and I ordered a bunch of misc that added up fast. Spent the day cleaning it, waiting on Geocel and Dicor It had dually brackets , so...
