Our short box is 5.5 feet. Our temperatures go from -40 celsius sometimes -60 celsius plus winds chills to +36 celsius or about +41 celsius. Can this camper handle these temperatures?

[@samgonzalez6859]

How much is it?

[@evansrvs]

@@cinbird6284 I wouldn’t suggest having water in it at those low temperatures but if you make adjustments and plan for it you absolutely could enjoy very cold and very hot weather in this.

6 years ago I bought a house with everything that camper has and more (concrete basement, wood and oil heating, washing machine, dryer, complete kitchen with fridge/freezer......) for 75,000.00 Can$ Ok, it has no wheels, but I am sure I got the better deal.

[@acdeldel2201]

80 k for a camper?? What the hell is wrong with this world?? I have an old 9th foot, with a gravity fed furnace, double bed on top, nice kitchen and dinning area which breaks down to additional beds and a washroom; paid 2.5 K for it 20 yrs back and it is still going strong.

[@workingmansdead44-ug8hl]

+ a minimum of another 80(at least) for the diesel rig that can handle that and a trailer ,but hey no property tax anymore.

My 31 foot Jayco was ony 57,000 brand new. That is ridiculous for truck camper. WOW!

[@JesseCase]

Holy poop!😂😂😂 I seriously didn't know he was saying decals! I have never heard it said that way before! I knew he was talking about the badges and sticker trim on the outside, but I thought "deckles" was just some technical term used in the RV world for the trim or something. I would have never in a million years thought that deckles was decals! 😂😂😂

$80k for a truck bed camper. Seriously? I could buy a big motorized camper for cheaper.

it amazes me how much they can fit in a truck camper with function yet the larger the RV or trailer gets the more space they just waste. If they put the same thought about space and function in a larger trailer they would be amazing.

[@almaknack9543]

Looks really well thought out.

[@ελευθερία-ε2ο]

I bought a 1,680 sqft double wide for 12k in January. It will be worth about 250k after renovation. 450k once I install it on my 20-acre parcel. My 2000 bigfoot camper was 6k and still looks close to new. Gotta be financially savy, folks.

[@svenriemann3897]

I've lived in my 2016 Northern lite since 2018 and survived 6 winters in Northern BC and each year it's plummeted down to -49c. I still have hot and cold running water. Best slide in camper money can buy.

Hahaha...I'm dying. I'm so glad you explained what you meant by "dekkles"....I was legitimately lost. :D

[@terrydanks]

Spent years in a truck camper up in the Yukon in the 60's & 70's. It was a 9-1/2 foot Vanguard IIRC. No where near the amenities this offers . . . but it didn't cost 80 grand either. Serious sticker shock for this beauty! Another 60-70 Gs for a truck to carry it . . . or more. Great walk-through video though.

[@billdurham8477]

One of my work neighbors just bought a 24 F450 cab and chassis for a 20' body, $56K. Or $40K less than a King Ranch F250. Or $42K for a pickup bed.....

[@tommysts1920]

[@fulks19]

It's a thorough review. I think the outside speakers are a waste of money. Nobody, at any campsite, wants to hear my shitkicking music. The first question out of everybody's mouth will be, "How much?". Why not make that a part of your reviews? It is the same with a house or car purchase.

[@evansrvs]

Fortunately for those at campsites, most of the time these are taken off the beaten path, where no one can hear the music anyways. I put the price right in the description, because prices of new units change over time and I want the video to remain accurate for years to come.

Right?

[@jasonlopeman4177]

With all the carpet on the ceiling, I wonder how it is in regards to keeping scents that you might not want the camper to keep. For instance, cooking food in the camper, I could imagine that the carpet on the ceiling is going to just keep those cooking scents.

[@evansrvs]

These are the questions we need to ask! Absolutely great point. With the maxxair fan and the range hood that actually vents outside, I would think that unless you’re using excessive oil or doing something crazy like searing a steak, you shouldn’t have any issues keeping the carpet from holding on to smells. Any owners here that can chime in?

[@jamesBELL-d4w]

Those vents are powerful. Open a window and turn those fans on; they pull fresh air in and sucks everything out. Also febreeze lol.

Where do you put the battery management system? Does it come with a battery? If so, what battery? How does one fit a battery to battery charger into the setup? Love the slide out LP tanks.

[@evansrvs]

The battery management system is built into lithiums (if you buy one with a BMS built in, ie. LiFePO4) We include a 12v battery at the dealership, but you can upgrade and it goes right in the battery box on the outside.

[@larrysmith4180]

@@evansrvs Thanks for replying. So you're saying the solar charging is also managed by the inboard BMS in the battery? I don't think I've seen that before. Most campers and batteries that I've seen have an external solar charger. Can you give me an example of a LiFePO4 battery that also manages the solar panel charging? I didn't see where the circuit panel with breaker fuses on your video tour. Where is it housed in the camper? What about an inverter. Is there one to offer some 120 volt service while offline? The specs say the fridge is dual fuel. Is that 120 v and 12v or LP and 12v? The newer fridges seem to be mostly 12v these days. When I asked the same question about a 12v fridge in another camper I was told that it draws 5 amps when running. What details can you give me about this fridge model? Thanks for your time.

[@evansrvs]

Happy to help! No, the solar charging is managed by the solar charge controller as described under the cabinet in the entryway. There is no inverter built in. The panel is located above the step on the side of the dinette. The fridge is 120v/LP, and I’m not sure of the amperage draw from the 12v option.

[@kyleybarra1830]

Very nice but I agree with others; crazy expensive. Do you sell many of these?

[@evansrvs]

Quite a few, and I’ll tell you that my Northern Lite customers are the happiest customers I’ve ever had. Everyone that buys one is absolutely thrilled about it.

[@takencareofbidness]

Just wondering. Is natural gas available most places? How is your water heated

[@LaurieNCooper]

Love it. 👍👍

[@melblack01]

I like the camper however, the dining table is absolutely not Sapele. Couple reasons... Sapele is a fine grain mahogany and weighs a tone. That grain is absolutely a plain sawn (plain slice) white oak. White oak still weighs a lot so almost always a table size pc of furniture is always a plywood. and not a solid pc. Actually for this purpose a plywood makes more sense than solid oak. Plywood is more stable and less likely to warp and much lighter in weight. The table in your video is wrapped with a solid white oak band. Same reason cabinets in a home are made with plywood boxes and solid wood fronts. prove me wrong. lol

[@evansrvs]

I’d love to get to the bottom of this, since you aren’t the first person to bring this up. Their marketing materials all say sapele table, I’ve clarified with the factory before and they confirmed that it’s sapele, but I’m thinking that maybe it’s just the darker accent line that’s actually sapele. Do you think that could be the case?

[@henrycarlson7514]

Looks nice

[@jessicamkanehl]

Do you know the list of upgrades from the 2024 to 2025 same model? I’ve see a different fridge and different sink faucet, just aesthetic? I’d appreciate the insight I’ve been between the two since it’s right on the cusp rn!

Biggest difference is the addition of the second rotocast bin, next biggest is the new cabinet under the entryway closet. Otherwise you’ve got it covered pretty much.
