Man,if i was still full timing and working remotely I would be looking to upgrade to this. Had a Cirrus 720 which was a disaster. Only one year for that model. Switched to a Capri Retreat which has performed well but this 610 is a perfect solo full time rig.
I'm not sure why there's an 8" gap between the truck bed side rails and the camper shell. There must have been a very compelling reason to do that, manufacturing limitations or a layout issue I'm not seeing. Scout campers does the same thing, not something I'm willing to live with. If other truck OEMs or a one ton had bed side rails 6" taller I could understand why, but they don't. Good job though, everyone knows you make one of the best.
@@NorthernLiteTruckCampers Yes we all know about tie down access, that goes without saying. Several manufactures have been using compartment access doors for years, I am surprised you choose to go the that route instead. The extra weight a few more inches would add is negligible. Thanks
@@Rdkng07 Compartment access is a poor solution. Not only do they provide additional leak points, reduce interior storage space, and they limit the size of box you can use the camper on due to the variance in tie-down locations. As weight is critical with a half ton camper, every little bit of savings helps.
I do think having that room there could make sense if you want to store something long, like skis or snowboards. But I generally agree that frame mounted tie downs and that unused space being utilized would be my preference. Hopefully they make a 610 option 2
Actually, if you compare features and structure, you will find the opposite compared to NuCamp. For example, we come with 400watts of solar power as STANDARD. They come with zero. We are 130 lbs lighter... and that's with the solar panels. They have numerous seams that are potential leak points over time. Our 2-piece fiberglass shell has 1 seam. Not to mention our campers are backed by our 6-year warranty compared to their 3-year warranty. And unlike other brands, such as you have mentioned, our campers retain their resale value with minimal depreciation (thanks to the fiberglass shell!). Thank you for helping us point out what sets us apart from other brands!
@@NorthernLiteTruckCampers why do people insist on believing you can get superior quality from inferior materials and justify it by saying it has a "low price". There are exactly no high quality goods that are cheap in any industry. Buy once, cry once.

Is there connection for shore power and battery charging? No mention anywhere that I could see.
Yes there is!
I really want to see this in person. I think I might want one . I have a Nissan Titan XD with a 5.0 Cummins. It should handle this no problem.
I'm confused how this is for half ton trucks, it weighs almost 1500lbs which is the max payload for most halftons with short beds.
No, half-tons go much higher. For example, the truck you see there has a stock payload of 2,100. We didn't build it for the lowest common denominator.
Nice job for a 1/2 ton. One of the few 4 Season's in that category
Thank you!!

Couple of reasons. 1) need room to access the ratchets for the tie downs 2) it would also result in additional weight with minimal benefit.

@@chrishermanowicz6530 You can use frame mounted tie downs.
will it fit a 8 foot bed?
The 610 would have room between the back of the camper and your tailgate, but it would fit.
I want a camper for a half ton truck with an 8 foot box. I have 2002 2500 dodge 4x4 3/4 ton truck. Cummins diesel
Our 9-6 could be an option for you. Or the 610. The 610 would have room between the back of the camper and your tailgate.
Looks great bit top heavy though rides high price point out of range for the youth who would buy it wish it looked more Canadian
No, not top heavy. One of the benefits of fiberglass shell is that there is not upper framing. Very low center of gravity.
I don’t get your “looked more Canadian” comment. What makes a truck camper look Canadian? Please explain.

Nothern Light 610 is to much $ for what your getting. Compare to Nucamp Cirrus 620 truck Camper. You'll see...
No Thanks!
