Need Help with Vehicle Selection

[Rhode Trip]

Saltamontes,
Nice rig and well thought out comments. :wavey: I really like the 8-11 Q Northern Lite- if I had been buying new, I would probably have opted for that size. I sure would like to have the factory thermo windows that you have- I have made inside storms for mine, but they are not as good by any means.
Regards,
RT

Saltamontes,

Appreciated all the info you posted!

Your plans for winch...didn't know you could do it that way...true, the front winch type bumper adds weight but it also adds considerable protection from a head-on collision (another vehicle, deer). The guy I bought my ARB from had it on his 4-Runner...he had a no-fault-of his-own, head-on traffic collision with a small import...no damage to his vehicle or bumper...other vehicle had major damage...something to consider.

Thanks for all the detailed comments. I like the NorthernLite TC. Wish I had a dealer nearby.

You can't beat the flexibility of a pickup and truck camper. Her is an excellant thread from rv.net about what is the best off road truck camper with some great pictures:
