It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here but I figure I’ll ask the experts. I just bought this little pop up and brought it home yesterday.

Thanks for all the replies. I’m gonna order some Torklift frame mounts tomorrow. I was thinking they were mostly for full height rigs, but it seems like they’re the best way to go.

Watch the back corners. The lift mechanism brackets get loose, rotate up and put little holes in the roof. Water finds it's way in and rots the wood. It's not difficult to pull the vinyl down to make sure the brackets are secure. It's not specific to Northstar.
