{"product_id":"1999-northstar-8-ft","title":"1999 Northstar 8 ft","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis isn't your typical vintage Northstar. In 2021, the team at Truck Camper Garage tore it down to the bones — verified all framing, installed all-new siding, and resealed it throughout. Since then, it's logged serious miles: Alaska to Baja and plenty in between. This rig has been lived in and put to real use, and it shows in the best way possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eCondition is good with some honest wear worth noting. The canvas corners have small holes from years of raising and lowering — they don't leak, but they're there. The front of the camper where it meets the truck bed has some surface scratches, typical of a rig that's actually been used. Everything structural is solid and all systems are running well. It's the kind of camper that's already been broken in for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eInside, the retro-styled cabin is one of the most thoughtfully packed 8-foot campers we've seen. Storage is genuinely exceptional for the size — cabinetry throughout, plus underbed storage that has to be seen to be appreciated (see photos). The large lagoon table and lounge give you a real place to decompress after a long day on the trail, and blackout coverings on the canvas keep things dark when you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe off-grid system is serious: 580 watts of solar feeding a 280Ah Dakota Lithium battery, backed by a 1200-watt inverter and a new 12V fridge. With 40 gallons of fresh water on board and a Joolca hot water shower setup — complete with dedicated shower awning, wet room, and dry room — you can run comfortably for days without hookups or a campground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA 4-burner propane stove handles camp cooking, and a 4-gallon Rotopax keeps a fuel reserve at the ready. An electric lock secures the camper when you're out exploring. The roof fan provides ventilation, and the camper is prepped to fit a composting toilet (available through Truck Camper Garage).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRebuilt by Truck Camper Garage (2021) — new siding, resealed, framing verified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTraveled Alaska, Baja, and beyond — well-used, well-maintained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAmong the most storage we've seen in a camper this size — see photos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e580W solar \/ 280Ah Dakota Lithium \/ 1200W inverter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNew 12V compressor fridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e40-gallon fresh water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eJoolca shower + awning wet\/dry room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCustom retro interior with lagoon table \u0026amp; lounge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eUnderbed storage + extensive cabinetry throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e4-burner propane stove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e4-gallon Rotopax gas can\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eElectric lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlackout canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRoof fan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eComposting toilet ready (no heater)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e8 ft camper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSmall holes in canvas corners (not leaking); surface scratches on front nose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eQuestions or to schedule a viewing, reach out to the team at Truck Camper Garage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Truck Camper Garage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46491171225773,"sku":"RDTV","price":16000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/7901\/8157\/files\/2.jpg?v=1782865077","url":"https:\/\/truckcampergarage.com\/products\/1999-northstar-8-ft","provider":"Truck Camper Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
