Northstar says "The light weight design and custom wrap-around rear end on the Northstar Freedom make the camper versatile enough to fit almost every short-bed half-ton truck on the market today, including the newly redesigned Toyota Tundra."
Base MSRP starts at $13,890

Northstar says "The extended style wrap-around rear end that allows it fit all short-bed half-ton trucks including the Toyota Tundra, F-150, Dodge Ram 1500 and Dodge Mega Cab, and the newer Chevy 1500 Silverado.

In addition to the swivel cassette toilet and interior shower, the insulated windows and extended cabover are some of the standard features that set the Northstar Freedom ahead of the competition.

Also standard on the Freedom is a 3.7 cubic foot refrigerator, 2-burner stove, single sink, 16,000 BTU furnace, interior battery storage, innerspring mattress, 4-corner jacks, rubber roof with a rear ladder, LED tail lights, push button latches on all cabinet doors and much more.

We show 3 pictures of the Northstar Freedom interior below:

We think this is a realy nice versatile truck camper and the extended style wrap-around rear end that allows it fit all short-bed half-ton trucks is a nice feature. The base starting price of $13,890 makes it an attractive choice.

MikeI visited the Northstar factory in Iowa 2 weeks ago. Looked at everything they had. Got the tour of the factory with the owner and saw how they were built from start to finish. I was pretty impressed and will be ordering one this weekend. I opted for the Adventurer 8.5 since it has a larger bathroom and I have a heavy duty truck that will easily handle the weight. The Freedom is pretty sweet too.
RogerI have been looking and comparing Truck Campers for over a year.This one has a lower base price than others, however, after you add in all the other ammenties the the others have it is more expensive. Also that portable pottie is hell to handle at a dump station. Spring for another brand!
ClemI've been looking at truck campers over the past year for a long term living living arrangement. The price of this one seems reasonable and the photos of the living area look great! Only a few of those I've looked at have bathrooms that seem to offer reasonable durability and those campers are priced out my range. The photos here show what appears to be a synthetic skin over particle board substrate sealed with caulking. This would be better than some but not as good as a plastic/fibreglass enclosure. If anyone has actually seen one, what was your impression?
Ken JIm very interested in this camper. Northstar have a good reputation and I read they have been manufacturing for over 40 years. Would like to hear comments from owners.
