Favorite Truck Camper(s): Northstar Adventurer 8.5
Type and Brand of Truck(s) Owned: 2018 Chevolet 3500 Duramax Crew Duelly
Type of Tiedowns used: Torklift with Fastguns
Truck and Camper Setup: Totally stock, nothing needed



We have a 2015 Northstar Adventurer 8.5, we really enjoy it! Sometimes my wife and our 2 little dogs have enjoyed a good meal, it's raining out and we have to remind ourselves that we are in the back of a short bed Chevolet 2500. Seems more roomy than it should. We looked a other brands and the Northstar Laredo but we liked the Adventurer floor plan. Built quality it awesome, well insulated and it is small enough that our truck can handle it without feeling like we are at the limits of the truck capacity. We pull a 12X7 cargo trailer with a motorcycle or our light boat, we unload the camper if we plan to be camped 2 nights, very easy. We have driven it at least 8,000 miles last year and all our thoughts are positive!
