New camper Northstar TC-650
- Thread starter 450 DUDE
- Start date
The lit says 1270# for standard build dry . A lot of stuff is "Standard"
The options I have are fiberglass sides water heater exterior shower 1/2 wrap and some other this and thats that make up 212 #'s
I havent scaled it yet but I barely put any air in the bags on the Power Wagon that has soft springs.
Side note, Its has a 30 gal fresh water tank that I dig!

Oil eater.
For comparison,my TC 800 wet w/30 gal. H20,water heater, outside shower,propane,Yakima rack,Dometic 3.0,furnace,Fantastic Fan,insulated floor,yada,yada= 2000#. This camper completely overwhelmed my stock suspension on my '98.5 2500 as well as my current '07. With Thuren,Lorenz and Carli upgrades,it's almost invisible. They're certainly not as trailworthy as a new FWC,but the roominess and comfort are worth it in my case.
Man, Im embarrassed to say it but I have not used it since. :smilies27
Im hoping Memorial weekend Usal Beach. and I should be in you area next month. We try to spend a couple days beginning of June in Mammoth.
I have messed with it a bit, drained the water,inspected the wiring & plumbing I thought for sure I would have to tweak or re-route / secure some of the stuff but I haven't. Very impressed how all the small details are checking out.
Sorry not much of an update.

yeah, your not gonna see Laurel open till near August. we just had a 6" pow day on the mountain yesterday 
But did get my new camper out on a shakedown at the hotsprings Monday night, everything is working great- and as big as it is, it handles rough roads pretty well.
Ken- what days you gonna be here, I'll camp 760- nine one four- 0868,

Ken,
Great to meet you and your family! You scored on the weather. Hope you found the Springs w/o issue.
Wish we coulda pulled off a night out with you at the Springs, we are just packin it in to get ready for CostaRica. Looking forward to hooking up with you guys at some point though- seems like we could have some good camping. Keep my number handy.
