3 Northern Lite Truck Camper Floor Plans - FOUR SEASON CAMPERS
In this KZhead video, we review 3 different Northern Lite Truck Campers. Each of these four season truck campers is perfect for camping in winter or any time of year. The northern lite truck campers we review in this video will fit in a short bed, a 1/2 ton pickup truck, a 3/4 ton truck, or a one ton pickup truck. We also list the northern lite truck camper weight for each camper we tour.
All of these truck campers have bathrooms and so much more like slideouts.
The Northern Lite Truck Campers we review in this video are:
0:00 Intro

They are absolutely beautiful! A little out of my price range, not by much, maybe ohh $60k or so lol!!!
Love them. Have the 10-2 and we love it! BTW you missed the drawer under the step and the shoe storage area under the table.
@@zeuswwr6295 Hi Zeus! Lol! I always miss something! But I try my best to catch it all. Thanks for watching! Mike
@@Erin-Thor those are all great points! Thanks Erin
@@RVBlogger - Well that’s interesting, I thought I responded to another comment thread, either KZhead or I is loosing it. 🤣
LOVE that!! One of the most well-designed I've ever seen. Going on three years full time in a truck camper, one thing I never anticipated was not having a mirror. That camper is fabulous but the mirrored fridge was GENIUS... I've gone out with a dress on inside-out more than once. 😆😆

LOL it's funny how people are blaming you for the prices. I can't stop laughing, like it's your fault.
😂 Thank you! 😂 We appreciate your support.
These truck campers were great. Nice and they have room in them. I love the last one with the pantry. Very nice too all of them with the storage. Thank you Mike and Susan for showing these truck campers.
Hey Sherri, We appreciate the love and support! Great choice! Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike & Susan
I don’t usually comment on videos but thank you for putting the time stamps for the different models at the beginning. That was super cool!
Hey Brandon, You're welcome! Thank you for the kind words :) Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤ Mike and Susan
Yes. It helped a lot. I was blinded by the skylight over the bed, and #1 and #2 looked like exact repeats. I need some sleep; trying to cram in a lot of information. I finally figured out that the largest might fit my 6'3" tall grandson, his wife, and their baby when he is born in February, especially the shower. However, I didn't realize that they are $60,000. WOW. And while it is nice, if you want to walk you will have to go outside. It looks a little claustrophobic, but I love the size of the refrigerator/freezer, especially the pantry slide-out. I would take a wet bath to have that!
Thank you for showing these to us. We can only go to some states looking at campers. My grandson is working on the truck. We have the Highlander, but not interested in spending money on hotels, and we have severe allergies, so we need and prefer to cook our own food. (DH and I)
Love they have a wet bath. Big frig and freezer. Next they will do solar.
I'm sure they do have the ability...at least pre-wired. Thanks for watching and commenting.
One of the only RV products I would spend my money on, the high build quality is apparent in every corner of these things. I live in BC essentially rain forest, and my 9-6 LE comes next month!

Hi Mike, I am so glad you and Susan are around to give the rest of us so much useful info about all things RV. You two certainly have your own unique style whereby your efforts to keep your presentations fresh are appreciated; not the easiest thing to do. There are way too many vloggers on KZhead today who have become hackneyed and patronizing to their viewers. Their condescension such that they believe they are a gift to RVers, complete with sarcasm and insults to viewers' intelligence. I have unsubscribed to more than one vlog for just these reasons; let alone their shabby research and outright incorrect or misleading information. Too many times in their laziness, they substitute superficial opinion for fact. I have communicated my displeasure to a couple of them. Fortunately, this is very far from your likeable on camera persona, polished delivery and slick production. Your collective hard work is apparent in each show you release. Please keep up the good work. Thanks.
Hi Roger, Thanks so much for your kind words. Susan and I try our best to provide the best info we can to help as many people as possible and hopefully be a little entertaining along the way. Thanks again! Mike
Thanks for the thorough tours. These are my favourite campers. The 10-2 with the booth dinette is what I want.
That's a great choice! Thanks for watching!
I have a 10-2 EXCD which I got in 2015. These are quality built truck campers. I am out boondocking camping in the Rocky Mountains 5-7 months each year. I take it over mountain passes, deserts of Utah, all kinds of national forests and through and over just about everything. It has taken a beating and nothing has broken...except light covers and vent covers which are my fault as I raked some trees. It is super comfortable and two people can live it it for extended months no problem. Yes, they are expensive but they come with a 6 year warranty unlike anything Thor makes which won't hold up a year. I run mine in a SRW F350 and it hauls it with no problem on the highway or off road. I have had it in 20 degree temps and the heater works great. This camper is great for those who are serious about camping and want quality. Also, they hold their value. As a matter of fact I can sell mine used for more than I paid for it. But I'm not getting rid of it...come May I will be back in the Rocky Mountains. Any questions I will be glad to answer for those serious about getting one of these from someone who has owned it.
Thank you so much for all this great insight to owning a truck camper. Such valuable information. We hope to camp off-road, at some point, in a truck camper. 🤞Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
I guess they are priced at what the market bears. Between a decent truck at $80K and these at $70K there some seriously nice alternatives out there with much better living spaces.
It all depends on what fits a persons needs and lifestyle. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Think of it this way, every RV has a purpose or niche market. If you like getting away from people a 4x4 truck can go places, trails, fire roads that you can’t get many trailers or others down. If you’re looking for weekend trips, have a pickup, these can be put on and taken off as easy as you might un-hitch a trailer. Are they expensive for their size? YES. But as they say location location location.
All three are great. Now, I need a truck!!

Beautiful camper, love the full sized queen bed, i had a bigfoot and my feet would hang out the end of the bed because it wasn't a full size bed.
Gee, I've never had that problem. (5'1") 😂 But I do understand bed size is super important. Thanks for watching and commenting dezmo d!
These are so cool, doubt ill ever own a big enough truck to carry one but damn there cool.
So glad you liked these truck campers. Maybe one day! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Excellent tour. Fun to see the similarities and the differences between these and my Bigfoot. Love the upgraded wood cabinets, the 80" bed, but not the smallish windows, the wet bath, and the galley layout. You did a nice job showing them, thank you!
Thank you so much Bob! We appreciate your support!!! Glad you like the video.

I believe it would be a good idea to include things like how much freshwater each one holds and how much personal items you can include in weight.

If I were to buy a hard side camper northern lite would probably be the one but I like the room that slide outs offer. I currently have a 2008 Lance 992 with double slide outs we traded it on a 2022 Lance 1172 it also has 2 slide outs but has a love seat in the rear slide so you can stretch out and not have to sit at the dinette table. The new camper should arrive early next month. Love the convenience and versatility of truck campers compared to other RV types.

I love my 2020 9-6 QLE. I have put it through some really rough roads over the past two years and it still holds up great. I’ve got lots of videos on mine on my channel if anyone wants to see just how durable they are. Sorry for the shameless plug, just figured if anyone wants to see how durable the clamshell design is, I have definitely taken this thing places I shouldn’t. Great video, btw! Very informative.

The advantage of Lite Camper truck is you don't have to pull a camper trailer, easy to maneauver, and park easily in place.
Completely agree! It's a great camper option! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting.

Im still thinking of a Host, or maybe a Lance. If I win the lottery it for sure will be one of the Loki Falcon series out of Quebec. Thats the dream. The reality will be Host or Lance, just because I want that separate shower on the back of my Ram. Thanks for the walk thru though.
Loki is definitely a great truck camper!! I fell in love the Host Mammoth, but who wouldn't! 😂 Hopefully we get more truck camper reviews soon! Thanks of watching our video and commenting Canadian Wolf

You just got a review on HOST truck campers.
You are saying we should review Host truck campers? Would love to but none in our area. Hopefully soon. Thanks for watching and commenting.
It's fine for a two week vacation but I would want to go any longer in it. And I certaintly wouldn' t pay that astronomical price for one when you can get one with slide-outs for about the same price. When looking at the video I noticed that when he lean back in the bed to open that cabinet that he practically took up the whole bed. Most truck campers offer king and queen size beds.
We probably measured the bed. Was it a Queen size? Thanks for watching our RV tour video and commenting.
The cost of this unit and a 1-ton truck you could get a lot of RV, not sure why these units are $$$

I’m not saying it’s a bad deal but sweet baby Jesus $60k lol I remember when I was a kid my neighbors had one in the back of a old 80’s model Ford F-150 and they paid like $2,500 for the truck and camper lol..

Assuming the ovens are propane-only are they manual or automatically lit? I'd actually prefer manual since I'd probably use it for storage most of the time and I wouldn't want a guest or myself to accidentally cook my stuff.

that little rectangle box on the counter at the end mounted on the wall really looks annoying were it is, looks like it takes up 4 to 5 inches of counter space, I would mount it right below the towl rack up out of the way of valuable counterspace.

What is the best overall truck for a large truck camper?
Hello blessedverteran. We focus primarily on RVs and not the tow vehicles so we wouldn't be comfortable recommeding a good truck. As long as the truck can handle the weight of your camper and you trust the manufacturer, I'm sure you will be happy. Thank you for watching and commenting.
What do you mean when you give the center of gravity height? Thanks! (Jane)
Hi Mike, Mortons on the Move wrote a great article about this...here's the link to their article. www.mortonsonthemove.com/truck-camper-center-of-gravity/ Hope it helps you out! Mike
🎉 wow be nice to know who is buying these I have several items I'd like to sale them
Dealerships and RV shows drastically reduce prices. Never pay MSRP. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
This was nicely done. I like these campers but for the life of my can no figure out why they keep putting carpeting in them and not some hardwood flooring. Carpet is trashed in a season or two. Who buys a camper that they have to take their shoes off every time they get in? Who wants to have to put in a plastic floor runner? Does Northern LIte not get that "camping" is basically a dirty activity? I am also not a fan of "wet baths". Why they continue to put little tiny sinks in the bathrooms in these things makes no sense. 48" away you have a kitchen sink. I do NOT want or need a second sink. Take the sink out and just have the Toilet and Shower. These are not houses - these are campers. Everything I look at these I am more Grateful for my older Lance. I am not suggesting the Lance is better over all... it has it's drawbacks. But flooring is not one of them. And the "L" shape Kitchen with a drop down counter addition make it so much better to use. I even have a 4 burner stove and a double stainless steel sink and a REAL Range hood. Lance just hit it out of the Park with the "L" design for people that want a more functional kitchnen. I can also reach everything from one spot in the kitchen including the refrigerator. The problem with Lance now is you have to have a 1 Ton Dual wheel to carry the weight of the new Campers over 10'. And I see little point in a slide for the kind of camping I do (Just one more place to fail and leak). The splash guard is much higher. You can sleep across instead of front to back. Finally no one ever does a review while the AC is running :). Thanks this really was well done. In my view Lance, Northern Lite, and Bigfoot are all Top End. But new campers are insanely priced (But what isn't). I will be fixing mine over and over until it completely falls apart in a wreck or hailstorm. PS: It would be great to talk a bit about the outside features, holding tanks, where they waste hose is placed, the maintenance required on the fiberglass, is it safe to walk on the roof. I also noted the large window is an escape hatch which maybe makes sense but not as much as a roof escape above the bed.
Insane prices !

Quality isn't cheap
Think of it this way, every RV has a purpose or niche market. If you like getting away from people a 4x4 truck can go places, trails, fire roads that you can’t get many trailers or others down. If you’re looking for weekend trips, have a pickup, these can be put on and taken off as easy as you might un-hitch a trailer. Are they expensive for their size? YES. But as they say location location location.
Do they all have plenty of storage and swirches?
Storage in a truck camper is a bit minimal. We try to include that information in the video. Not sure what the last feature you mentioned is.Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting.
This is why I prefer the Bigfoot truck campers, they offer more options like the 10.4 rear Dinette. Northern Light refuses to even consider making a rear dinette truck camper models. Oh well, this is exact reason why Northern Light will never beat Bigfoot truck campers, they refused to offer more models and their quality is not even close she's a quality that Bigfoot truck campers offer.

I don't care what they put in it. NO truck bed camper is worth 60K. All that is, is price gouging.
Hey Melvin, We appreciate the input! :) Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤ Mike and Susan
Price gouging for sure
$$ gouges lmao
Agreed
@@bigdogbulldog9912how is it price gouging. No one forces you to buy it. It's not like it is something you must have to survive. They are built for a certain market that can afford them. They are not built out of scrap 2x2 and staples like a Jayco, host , and most other truck campers. Fully loaded you will need a 450 or a 550 to haul it. We sat ours on the bed of a 2021 f-350 and it dropped all the way to the bump stops. With the proper truck to carry the 10-2 model you will spent about $160,000.00 to $180,000.00 for a truck and the camper.
Northern Lite makes a nice truck camper. It is disappointing that each one shown here had the same layout.

Hi Amy, all of our campers have the same layout with the main differences being the type of dinette.. face-to-face or u-shape. The other layout option is dry bath or wet bath. The reason we only run with one core floor plan is that through our +30 years of building 4-season campers, we have found this layout is the best use of space in a truck camper. As we don't build campers with slides, we are limited to floor plan options.
If they cut the size of the dinette they could increase the size of the bathroom.
That's a great point. Only need seating for two unless you plan to convert the dinette into a bed. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
@RVBlogger no problem. I like your videos. I used to watch them all all the time. Now I'm just casual about it.
@@meme13100 We even appreciate casual support! 🤣
It's getting like the Ford 150 which caters to more female purchasers and what they want. Men do not seem to care so much about all the extras whereas women want these things to be like houses. I wish I could take the sink out of my rigs bathroom so there was more room to shower. And I definitely do not need to sleep "6" or even seat "4". I can not imagine 4 adults in any camper for any length of time that is what Travel Trailers are for.
Hello i am looking for one of these campers. I love in kansas but when i do a location its always sending me to an RV location and here these guys nesr me dont have Campers. All trailer or 5th wheel. If someone can point me in thebright direction
Hey Piccard You may have to travel a bit to get the camper you want, we look online and make calls to places :) Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤ Mike and Susan BTW, let us know what you think of RV Camping Magazine, our free digital and video magazine! rvblogger.com/rv-camping-magazine/
There's a serious lack of nice big windows. A lot of nice amenities but without big windows they're to boxy on the the inside.
That's fair. I think it would be difficult to have too many windows in a truck camper because appliances and cabinents take up some wall space. Thanks for watching and commenting.
100% agree Meyer.
As someone who has a 2023 10-2 dry bath i can say that there are more than enough windows in it. I just wish they would stand behind their warranty. They have a taillight warranty. Any time you contact them about a warranty utem they tell you that you have to go to the components manufacturer. I purchased mine in August of 2023 we got to use it one night and the solar power system went out and several of the plumbing parts started leaking in the black and grey water system. It is now November 1 and it is still in the shop waiting on Northern Lite to repair it. You would think for $ 80,000.00 it would last more than 1 day.
Any northern lite for 1/2ton?
Not that I'm aware of... Thanks for watching! Mike
This is the most underserved market there is. People buying 30 year old ones and restoring them. Northern Lite AND Bigfoot should both be making mid sized models!
@@RVBlogger Northern Lite is launching the new 610 model built specifically for half ton trucks, target weight is 1500 pounds unloaded, info on the website but no firm launch date as yet.
I could see 30k not 60k+
Hey Grant, They get pretty pricey when they're new :/ Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤ Mike and Susan
I don't care what they put in it. NO truck bed camper is worth 60K. All that is, is price gouging.
Yes or no, think of it this way, every RV has a purpose or niche market. If you like getting away from people a 4x4 truck can go places, trails, fire roads that you can’t get many trailers or others down. If you’re looking for weekend trips, have a pickup, these can be put on and taken off as easy as you might un-hitch a trailer. Are they expensive for their size? YES. But as they say location location location.
$30K price was in 2004 - 2005. You missed that price point. I have a Bigfoot 10.6 (same type of camper) and it was $23K in 2001.
Hi ya what do you know about scout truck campers I have a Chevy Colorado with the v6 it's the work truck
We haven't had the pleasure of seeing one in person. They are built in Washington state and haven't traveled to east coast dealerships yet. But I will say they look pretty awesome. A bit more basic than Northern Lite but very affordable and built to go off grid. Definitely worth looking at. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
@@RVBlogger thanks
You never talk about the tank sizes… ? How come?
Hey Francisco Great question! There's a lot we don't cover. We do a brief overview of campers, but would recommend other bloggers or youtubers for super specific breakdowns of a unit. That's all, we appreciate the suggestion! Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤ Mike and Susan
I'm alittle shocked by the prices.....
The MSRP is still a bit high on RVs these days but we are seeing them reduced dramatically at sale. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting! We appreciate your support!
My personal dream camper, but no way am I spending that much money on Camper much less truck camper

A Oliver camper is better .
Oliver is a great fiberglass camper. But they don't make a truck camper. If you are someone looking to buy a truck camper, you probably won't be interest in Oliver, but thanks for sharing your viewpoint. And thanks for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
$57k good lawd

Those people that are trying to sell those truck campers or smoking dope you can't get $60,000 for a damn truck camper
The prices listed in the video are MSRP. Hopefully people are negotiating at a dealership for the best sales price. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
I bet there is a nicer way you can say that.
"four season" - really hate how they say this in the camper world, it's pretty misleading.
Do you think these truck campers are not 4 season capable? Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
@@RVBlogger How about a little primer video on what makes a truck camper capable of four season camping, or even full-time living? Educate doubters and noobies, you know?
@@rambunctiousmedia3350 many RV manufacturers will label their RVs as "4 season" or "extended season" but there is no industry rule to define those terms. Which is why we rarely discuss those specs and stick to floor plan and functionality. Maybe we will consider a video on this topic in the future. Thank you for the suggestion
Take one up here to Alaska in the winter at -40 and try winter camping… I know people that own a Bigfoot up here with that has a 1/2” more insulation than these and they say it’s a no-go at those temps
@@brianthompson9485 Those temperatures are not "normal" winter temperatures in the lower 48. I can't imagine any RV feeling comfortable below zero.
I can't hear you my dear 😢
Is your video muted?
Unbelievably expensive.

Seriously! I was not expecting that. I guess camping isn’t cheap, I’ll stick with a tent.
can you elaborate on how youre justifying these prices? i have a 2020 40 foot out door kitchen heated floors, full walk in shower 4 slides it was 48k. this is less material ect but higher price. what am i mising. youre pricing is absurd..
Hey Mr Rod We don't price or sell them. We just walk around and show you how they look. We normally get the MSRP from the manufacturer's website :) Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤ Mike and Susan BTW, let us know what you think of RV Camping Magazine, our free digital and video magazine! rvblogger.com/rv-camping-magazine/
Mr Rod can you pump point me in the right direction in order to check the one you have, I’m having a hard time finding one at the right price. Thanks in advance
Are you kidding me, that’s way overpriced!!! Even for half of that cost it still would be no deal!

In which world will a 2800 pound plus camper go on a 3/4 ton truck without being over weight when all other loads are added in? My one ton is 3620 rated and a 2800 pound plus camper is ridiculously dangerous ! Lets get real about these weights and stop blowing smoke rainbows and unicorns!
As per Northern Lite Truck Camper website "When buying your new Northern Lite truck camper it’s critical that you have the right size of truck. Northern Lite 8-11 and 9-6 truck campers need a minimum of a 3/4 Ton pickup such as a Ford F-250, Dodge Ram 2500, or a Chevy Silverado 2500 and GMC Sierra 2500. If you purchase a Northern Lite 10-2 you will need to have a one-ton pickup such as a Ford F-350, Dodge Ram 3500, Chevy Silverado 3500, and GMC Sierra 3500." Hope this helps.Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@RVBlogger as per my ex she is the smartest most beautiful wicked witch of the north. Does that make the whole statement correct, factual and true?
@@Gregory-uv2pi Hi Gregory, your logic makes no sense to me. Anyway we got the info from Lance's website and I trust their empirical info more than whatever you said about your ex-wife. I do appreciate you sharing your experience (although I wish you were nicer about it) and trying to warn other pickup truck owners that they need to be aware of their specific payload. Perhaps others on this thread will read your info and take note. Thanks and all the best - Mike
you must be "smart" :D :D :D
Commode? Are you 95 years old?
Mike's a former home builder. Some of his terms originate from those days. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
This comment was unnecessarily rude.
I'd like to tell this guy to stop doing the exact same reviews over and over and maybe change it up a bit... But he's got like 12 million views and I don't even own a camper so I guess what he's doing is working better than what I am lol.
Hey Frank, We review a lot of the campers at RV Shows, so they're the new ones coming out. In general a lot are similar to people that aren't in them often, but they are different campers. Is there something else you suggest we review?

RvBlogger sorry i worded that pretty confusingly. What o mean to say is every review has the same language over and over, the same lines are used for standing in the shower or to describe a bed or toilet. I’m absolutely not suggesting you change anything because your obviously very successful in the format you’ve developed and are doing great.
40thousand dollar profit
Not really sure what their cost versus profit is. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
drunk
Not yet...are you buying?😂
Almost $80 thousand now,
Not surprising! Hopefully that'll change! Thank you for watching our RV tour and commenting Herby!
Hi... How much aré those Beautys?
Hey Angel, We put the current MSRP (at the time of the video) on the info screen before the tour starts :) Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤ Mike and Susan
