    Truck Help, Diesel Necessary?

    My recommendation would be to contact a suspension/spring shop in your area, not a 4X4 shop that sells aftermarket springs. They can make up new spring packs for your rig which will greatly increase your hauling capacity for a very reasonable cost. Be sure to contact a couple of them to make...

    Northstar 850SC winter camping

    I had my shower lines freeze one night, ironically it was the hot line that froze in my shower and the cold line in my sink. The dealer thought it was a back up in the system from the sink freezing, not sure? The only times I have froze the lines were after two days of below freezing and not...

    Northstar 850SC winter camping

    Hey Mike, got to 11 last night no issues. I did forget to mention when its been getting this cold I have been leaving the kitchen sink door, the water access door and the cover to the water tank access open at night so heat can reach them. Also as an added protection I have been turning off...

    Northstar 850SC winter camping

    I haven't done anything with the lines yet besides zip tie a hand towel around the exposed lines, got sidetracked with other hobbies/projects. I am on a two week trip to Tucson, on the return half outside of Bryce Canyon tonight where it is supposed to get down to 8, so far no problems. I have...

    Northstar 850SC winter camping

    Mtn Mike, I agree with you on the quality of the Northstar build, of course with the exception of the Sub Zero Package. I have not insulated the outside lines yet still debating on which route to go, insulate or reroute. The entire soft, tent, portion of mine has to be replaced due to the...

    Northstar 850SC winter camping

    Have no doubt that was Northstar's thinking except they are charging more for the unit. They are labeling these units as being rated as Sub Zero and charging $1,400 for the Sub Zero Package and making some pretty bold marketing claims as to the R-Value of these campers. They claim an R value...

    Northstar 850SC winter camping

    The manufacturer is well aware of the water lines and intends to leave the lines as they are at least on the 850SC and I assume they are the same on the 650 but not 100% sure. My dealer talked to the manufacturer and was told it cost to much to run the water lines inside , where they actually...

    Northstar 850SC winter camping

    Mtn Mike, I forgot to answer your question about the location of the sail switch. Without a picture it is on the outboard side of the furnace at the bottom, mine at least has two blue wires going to it and has one small Phillips screw holding it in place. Once you unhook the wires and take...

    Northstar 850SC winter camping

    Hi Mtn Mike, Answers for you, to the best of my knowledge. First as pointed out the Atwood/Dometic is the same as far as I know. I do not know what is up with the sail switch, to be honest with you I don't think its the sail switch but not sure. The reason for my taking out the sail switch...

    Northstar 850SC winter camping

    Thank you for the welcome Mr. Sagebrush! DanoT, thanks for the thought on the furnace, I will definitely keep it in mind but my popup is so drafty I don't think that could be an issue, but I will keep it in mind and try it next time it doesn't want to blow warm air. Like I said the only thing...
