    Northstar Torsion Lift

    I agree with mkish - Northstar will definitaley be more than willing to help out. (Not associated with Northstar, I've just had great customer support from them when needed)

    collapsing pop up methods...any good ones

    I've been using the Fantastic Fan method since day one of receiving my Northstar. The only issue is that it's has a temperature control on it. If it's too cold, the fan won't turn on. I've used a lighter to heat up the element to "fake" it into being warmer than it really is. This allows the fan...

    Hello PN yetti, I absolutely love my Northstar. I didn't get out in as much as I hoped this summer (do we ever?). If you go back and read some of my previous posts, you'll see how satisfied I've been with Northstar's customer service - unbelievable! The only issue I go back and forth with on...

    Northstar Truck Campers

    Jordan, Your best bet with those questions would be to email Rex at Northstar. I don't know them personally, but the few times I've emailed, they have gone out of their way to be more than helpful.

    ford e350 poptop build

    From the owner of the van: "it's a suburban furnace 16k btu and yes if the door is open all the way when the furnace is on, it could get hot by the furnace exhaust, but as he mentioned, if it's cold the door is not open long enough for it to be an issue."

    FWC - last question before ordering

    Good question(s). Sorry, I don't have any answers for you but I am curious as to what others have to say. I eventually want to get a solar panel as well, but am clueless to what I need.

    Thoughts on a Palomino Real-Lite SS-1608

    Go for it! I started off with a 1987 Palomino Bronco and used it pretty extensively. I wanted an updated camper and better quality, so I went with the Northstar. One thing that was nice on the Bronco was the full size door for entering and exiting. The negative is that they don't seal well. I...

    New FWC layout - what do you think?

    Just a thought/question concerning the floor plan: Wouldn't it be better to have the fridge, stove, sink, etc. toward the front to keep the weight a little more centered or forward? Where is the fresh water tank?

    Fold or tip out bed?

    mkish, The fold out bed measures 74"X31". The couch/seating that makes into a regular bed utilizing the table top measures 78"X36". As far as the toilet, no built in here. In a pop-up camper, I would prefer having any extra storage available to carry gear, food, etc. A porta-pottie works good...

    Fold or tip out bed?

    This is the 800XB on my Tundra. The fold out bed comes in real handy when I have 2 pups. As far as sleeping in the tent area, it would be awesome for young-uns but too short for an adult. There is the seating area just in front of the pop out that, when made into a bed, will fit an adult and any...

    What's new at Coyote RV/Phoenix Pop up?

    Ok, Thanks Michel (Wasp) for the explanation. The camper and pickup look sweet, both separately and as a whole package. Enjoy your excursions and I think I speak for most when I say we need to see some more pics of your trip!

    What's new at Coyote RV/Phoenix Pop up?

    "The painting "dark silver" (Dodge challenger 1973 model) is terrible!" Did he really mean that or did y'all take that as sarcasm? Personally, I think it looks great.
