Lowering a Northstar

[Mickey Bitsko]

When lowering a Northstar is there a trick to getting the canvas to fold in all four sides evenly, I will be using it alone most of the time. The straps on the inside of the windows are still on for the most part.

Thank you,

Simple!

We had a Northstar mc600and loved it.

The trick is to close rear door make sure all windows are closed turn on roof vent to exhaust
and sides will suck in as you lower top, fail proof!

Your welcome!

Thank you, unfortunately I do not have a power roof vent, I should have specified that originally.

You can still make it work, just buy one of the cheap 12v fans at walmart.
Make a bracket to clip to or just hold by hand at your vent should work the same.

Thanks again,. Unfortunately..no 12vdc receptacle.( Installing a couple will give me something to do) now at home, fan from the house in the window above sink worked perfectly.
Definitely need to upgrade to fantastic fan.

Before I finally used the Fantastic fan/reverse procedure,my wife would just poke the sides in with our broom.
No issues at all.

2TALL, thank you, I have to wait a while for my fantastic fan, in the meantime I put the roof down about 2/3and bungy off the crank and poke in the sides as you do.
No problem.

Starting to figure things out while on the maiden voyage.
Can someone please tell what the purpose of the vertical clear plastic on the inside of the upper windows sewn into the canvas?
Also the stock mattress is about 6"+ thick and a little worn out, can someone suggest an alternative maybe a little thinner?

Never realized how nice and well built the Northstar Pop ups were.
Thanks again,

Mickey
