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 Huh, nope, late 90s 460 gets me anywhere, easy to fix when the occasional issue arises. get a grip on it, the old Ford cost me as much as the camper, 5k for both.
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.
For what it is and what you get (still awesome btw) almost 60k does hit kinda hard. But ultimately it depends on the style you want as a buyer. Every type has pros/cons. Love the vid.
$80,000 invested for a 5% annual dividend is $4,000 a year! That dividend pays for a nice two week vacation and you still have the $80,000 growing in value long-term.
Better if you build a house for that, it appreciates, gives you the deduction every year, and pays rent greater than any repairs, taxes, and other expenses.
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.
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.

It amazes me how much they cost and have no engine of their own! I remember when you could buy one of these for 8-12 thousand dollars. The first one I had cost 1,100 and was a couple of years old.

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.
Unfortunately, it's still a trailer. They depreciate like an auto. Plus lenders don't look at them like a regular home so you lending terms can be challenging.
@MGMidget73 incorrect. They only depreciate if you buy them new off the lot. I bought mine for 12k, so there is only upside from here. In the eyes of banks, a mobile home is a trailer if it was built before 1976. In this case, you will not qualify for a loan. A mobile home built after 1976 is considered a manufactured home built to hud standards. A manufactured home on your property in order to classify it as real estate, you have to permanently attach it to a foundation. This process is called a 433A. This is filed with the Department of Housing and Community Development. Once done, both parcels become one APN. Almost any bank will approve a loan in this case. This is true for my state, so do your due diligence to see if it's true for you. My MF was built in 1986, and I have the 433A. My case checks all the boxes. Great day, Sir
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.
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.....
80,000 divided by $150 per night in a motel/hotel/B&B = 533 nights. Be sure you are going to use this more than 500 times, otherwise you are throwing money away. If it's camping you like, then consider an upscale tent for less than $533.
I have a 96 Bigfoot 9-6 thats basically same foot print.Bought it used with some floor damage,neede some TLC.I buffed whole thing added 2- 6v,custom home builder I added split bamboo floor,walnut table, walnut valance, wood frame mirror ,solar.Put it on a alum flatbed with 4 -4' storage boxes, solar,wave heater as second heat to furnace.Gen wired up in undercount and on a classic 99 F350 7.3 l PS Ford.Made custom folding stairs w/ rail.camper was $7000
When I bought my NL in "22 I was shocked to learn the generator option was about a $7200 option IIRC, then I learned my 9-6 has no generator option, I just run a Honda 2200.
Very good presentation. I enjoyed the tour. The clean installation of the wiring, etc., will make it easy to maintain for decades. Everything looks well thought out and nicely designed. If someone was going on a tour of Alaska and had the money this would keep them safe from the environment and other dangers. Also a great vehicle for research. I think that's his customer base.
The price sounds crazy, but ... I bought a new 10.2 Northern Lite in 2016 for about $48000 (CAD). I could basically sell it today for what I paid. The quality is awesome. Our camper still looks (and smells) new on the inside after 300 nights and a lot of day trips. Outside not so much. Decals are peeling off and the shiny white has changed to an off white. But everything is tight and waterproof as on day 1. I would buy a NL again over any other truck camper.
GREAT QUALITY…! ‘LOVE the top-half joining with the bottom half…so there are less seams…I’m IMPRESSED…. BTW…I LOVE your accent! ESPECIALLY “decals”… 🤣😂😳
Ceramic coating does work. I have it on 2 vehicles, and it is a lot easier to clean, BUT you need to use soap that is for Ceramic coated vehicles, NOT regular car wash soap
It’s probably a lot less to maintain. Amount of tires, axels, etc remains the same. Truck suspension is way gentler than trailer suspension. it’s more upfront but cheaper overtime. Also it’s smaller and that makes it easier to take places. Your overall foot print didn’t increase. And more remote locations are more accessible. I agree more space is typically better. But it has some advantages maintenance and access to more rough terrain. Like if you were working on a remote difficult to reach site. This will go places you could never pull a 30ft trailer.
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.
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?
We have been cooking every day of more than 300 outings in our NL camper and it still smells like new. Running the hood fan while cracking a window open does the trick. Only once we had a smell lingering for a day or two - seafood pasta is something I wouldn't cook again inside the camper.
it is pretty dope! however in my opinion. I would go with the Box off option and go from there to maximize the space. as well as other driving down the road reasons.
Lol, American here, was just saying to myself, what? Decal? Does he mean deeeeCal? 😆 I love how you handled that. Love the camper, too. I could easily live in that baby! (And we love our Canadian neighbors, as well.) 🌷
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
I missed the price that you were asking for that camper top that goes on a truck like my truck,I got a f350 old but good 1990 year truck, I had 10,000 laying around I maybe can use on one of them campers. Thanks for showing and telling about that camper, l always liked them my dad had one back in 1965 or so yes I am 67 this coming December the 3 , well thanks again see ya next time have a good one see ya bye.
I was going to critique. Chat is saying 80k. HOLY BAJEEZUS. I would never say to bake cookies. And be honest that guest bed is too small for 6+ feet. Don’t say you’re comfortable unless you suck a thumb with your knees to your chest. Overall you’re great at reviews. ❤
@ I could sleep in it too but not for long, my body just knows if I’m limited, but 80k, a few grand less, yes for later gen if you take care of it, I would, but sh*t. Man I would love to have one.
ouch, 3200 lbs, you need an expensive truck **** You can buy a Class C, today and you get the truck for free *** the bottom has fallen out of the RV market. He is in Canada. USA is different 100k Class C's go for 30K, good news GAS PRICES are dropping for now.
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.
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.
I was intrested in getting something to camp in... for the price of ANY NEW camping veichle - I bought some land and built a small cabin, where I can hunt. then I found a used Aliner for unpland game hunting. The prices of these things are just out of control.
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.
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.
I bought a NORTHSTAR ARROW 8.5. Specially made for a short bed. I have to remove my tailgate because it needs to be removed and it can't go with you. I've had it for 18 years. Bought it new. Picked it up from the factory in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. 18 years....here is my repairs..1ea passenger side brake light. THAT'S IT. !
Believe it or not, until I posted this video no one had ever corrected me, everyone in my circle says it the way I did so I never noticed I was saying “valence” like electron rather than valance lol. So no need to apologize! The only way we grow is by changing our behaviour, and we can’t do that without knowing what to change.
In 35 years of camping I never had a leaking front window even when driving in heavy rain (both Northern Lite and Bigfoot). It is a safe and practical option to ventilate the camper when not present. What is the R value for wintering in Siberia?
And in decades of testing, Northern Lite has discovered that a front window that opens is an additional point of potential water intrusion not worth the risk of introducing to such a fantastically reliable product. R7, with double layer insulation in the cap. Tested by NL to -20c with water, I’ve had customers use it as low as -35c without water. I’m sure they could go colder, I just haven’t heard of anyone doing that.
@@evansrvs When it comes to cost cutting measures manufacturer is always right. I camped at -35 as well. It all depends how long can the furnace sustain the stress, how much of ice builds up inside and how much hardship is a person willing to tolerate.
Hahah! If it makes you feel any…worse, master keys are like $7 online, and with a few different ones you can get into almost any RV. It’s deterrent more than security lol
I’ll grant you that there are pieces of sepele with that grain pattern but it’s not common and I’m not buying sepele that looks like oak. For the love of god NL, pick better grain!
80K is just too much for a tiny, non-slide camper.................its just too much money for this day and age. I will say though it is actually the best camper ever lol!

I was going to critique. Chat is saying 80k. HOLY BAJEEZUS. I would never say to bake cookies. And be honest that guest bed is too small for 6+ feet. Don’t say you’re comfortable unless you suck a thumb with your knees to your chest. Overall you’re great at reviews. ❤
Thanks for the love! I don’t sleep with my body stretched out all the way as far as it can go so I’d be pretty comfy lol.
@ I could sleep in it too but not for long, my body just knows if I’m limited, but 80k, a few grand less, yes for later gen if you take care of it, I would, but sh*t. Man I would love to have one.
Beautiful. Thanks.
ouch, 3200 lbs, you need an expensive truck **** You can buy a Class C, today and you get the truck for free *** the bottom has fallen out of the RV market. He is in Canada. USA is different 100k Class C's go for 30K, good news GAS PRICES are dropping for now.
$80K My God! That's absurd.
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.
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.
@@evansrvs Ahh, I should have read the description. I just went straight to the video which was very good.
Thank you for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah, I can’t stand the camping culture that listens to loud music at campsites.
I was intrested in getting something to camp in... for the price of ANY NEW camping veichle - I bought some land and built a small cabin, where I can hunt. then I found a used Aliner for unpland game hunting. The prices of these things are just out of control.
I like the design however I would like the bed area to have more headroom... for hanky panky
If high end electrictrics and appliances bedding as long high end all around worth it
I would not be telling folks they can float down the river in one of these 🤣😂🤣😂 whew boy no affiliation no representation no litigation my friend 👍😆
Go listen to what I said again
Amazing design. Bedroom would be amazing on windy, rainy nights where you can hear every rain drop hitting the roof.
Yesss exactly! The dream.
@@evansrvs I hear the rain fall on my camper , it’s the best to fall asleep to 😊
i always wondered why put a sink in such a small "bath" area only to make it smaller, why not use the other sink instead
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.
@@evansrvswow such a quick reply, thanks! I saw that new drawer under the closet. Was the second rotocast bin the one under the bed?
Happy to help! The second one is the one on the left side of the compartment under the door
Very nice and great construction pricey but im sure it will last lifetime??
You should rent them out as homes for people the need for affordable housing these
If people aren't buying a lot of these rvs and campers.
Everything has gotten so expensive. This and the ton diesel to pull it at $125 will buy you nice property and cabin in great hunting territory.
Here's Cal Worthington, and his dog Spot!
Very nice but I agree with others; crazy expensive. Do you sell many of these?
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.
I bought a NORTHSTAR ARROW 8.5. Specially made for a short bed. I have to remove my tailgate because it needs to be removed and it can't go with you. I've had it for 18 years. Bought it new. Picked it up from the factory in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. 18 years....here is my repairs..1ea passenger side brake light. THAT'S IT. !
very cool, Evan!
Thanks for watching! 👋
It’s valance with a soft short a instead of the long a sound
Thanks Kelley ✌️
@ sorry- retired elementary school teacher
Believe it or not, until I posted this video no one had ever corrected me, everyone in my circle says it the way I did so I never noticed I was saying “valence” like electron rather than valance lol. So no need to apologize! The only way we grow is by changing our behaviour, and we can’t do that without knowing what to change.
realistically for one person, what more do you really need?
90k for a plastic shell with cheap partical board and screws holding it together ..sounds like a deal ..
It amazes me how much this thing costs.
Nice Citizen Nighthawk!
I could build a shipping container home and probably have money left over and we're talking about at least 4 to 6 shipping containers
In 35 years of camping I never had a leaking front window even when driving in heavy rain (both Northern Lite and Bigfoot). It is a safe and practical option to ventilate the camper when not present. What is the R value for wintering in Siberia?
And in decades of testing, Northern Lite has discovered that a front window that opens is an additional point of potential water intrusion not worth the risk of introducing to such a fantastically reliable product.
R7, with double layer insulation in the cap. Tested by NL to -20c with water, I’ve had customers use it as low as -35c without water. I’m sure they could go colder, I just haven’t heard of anyone doing that.
@@evansrvs When it comes to cost cutting measures manufacturer is always right. I camped at -35 as well. It all depends how long can the furnace sustain the stress, how much of ice builds up inside and how much hardship is a person willing to tolerate.
I hear ya
They did a lot with very little space
Very nice but you need to have a more competitive price to gain market.
You can get a sportsman + for a lot less, this is the LOADED trim.
Where is the 100” tv.
Love that trust - 7 doors and 1 lock :)
But i like it :)
Hahah! If it makes you feel any…worse, master keys are like $7 online, and with a few different ones you can get into almost any RV. It’s deterrent more than security lol
@@evansrvs at least you're honest about it.
Honestly I haven't seen a bed camper in so long I was starting to wonder if people even made them anymore.
Class, where's my lottery ticket.
Side note, ain't price's ( for everything ) gotten crazy.
Nice but where's the demo on the truck?
If I had a truck to demo I’d love to do a review! Hahah
Wow ! A premier 🇨🇦 product ! Too much $$$ for my needs, but if I win the lotto, I’ll custom order one to match the new GMC.😂🤙
You know who to call 😉 haha
Love it. 👍👍
Looks nice, but at 3200 lbs. for a SB camper it's definitely not "lite." You're gonna want a 1 ton truck for this one.
It is the LIGHTEST true 4-season truck camper bar NONE.
At the end all of you content creators should give the price. It would give you more subs
Price is in the description, like I said in the video.
Did I miss the inside of the fridge?
Beautiful camper, great review, but you need to include the price.
Price is in the description (which I said in the video).
Just wondering. Is natural gas available most places? How is your water heated
Propane Bobby ! Or 120V when hooked to shore power like at RV site.
@0:06 I said “What?” I had to rewind it because I thought I heard something completely different. 😂😂
I’ll grant you that there are pieces of sepele with that grain pattern but it’s not common and I’m not buying sepele that looks like oak. For the love of god NL, pick better grain!
I'm from canada and never heard of decals pronounced that way.
Yeah, it’s different all over the place. Even in the US people pronounce it both ways, it was just a lighthearted joke lol.
That’s a crazy price, a truck should be thrown in
can it be shipped in czech republic aswell?
Is the water heater a tankless instant, and if not it there a option for it?
It’s a regular heater, no option for tankless yet. The biggest issue with tankless is wasting fresh water while waiting for it to heat.
80K is just too much for a tiny, non-slide camper.................its just too much money for this day and age. I will say though it is actually the best camper ever lol!
I want one really bad
You know where to find me 😜
really for the cost the quality does not match i see so mant corners cut the best thing is the shell
I AM A BIG BOY OF 6'1" N HOW AM I GOING 2 USE THE JON ??? ZERO LEG 🦵 ROOM N ZERO ROOM 2 CLEAN THE BACK SIDE N WASH NO THANK U
