The Northstar is 10” less than my Palamino with a basement. It can work. The truck, by the way, is 385 Peterbilt with a sleeper, not a pickup. srschang • View posts Western NY Senior Member Joined: 08/23/2005 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 02/16/23 01:50pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I just went out and measured my 12STC. It's 8'4" from the bottom of the camper to the highest point, which is one of the Maxxair fan covers. The A/C is about 2" lower. Is that about what the guy told you? 2022 Ram 3500 Dually Crewcab Longbed Cummins, 2019 Northstar 12 STC austinsailor • View posts Missouri New Member Joined: 08/06/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 02/16/23 02:08pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I was needing the distance from the bottom part of the part that goes over the cab to the roof. I’ll set the bed to whatever level gets about 3” clearance above the cab. The number he gave me got that is 42”. On my Palamino is 52”. 107 ground to cab top, 3” clearance, 42” camper, I can get a 9” tall air unit, gets me 1” below 13’6”. If I had an easy way to post a couple pictures it might make more sense.

You then would have access directly from the cab without running around to the back. https://roadlesstraveledfinance.com/biggest-semi-truck-sleeper-cabs/#:~:text=Biggest%20Semi-Truck%20Sleeper%20Cabs%20%5B5%20Unbelievable%20Custom%20Builds%5D,this%20video%20on%20YouTube.%20...%206%20Conclusion%20 austinsailor • View posts Missouri New Member Joined: 08/06/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 02/16/23 05:24pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator We test drove one, she didn't like it. They are quality units, no doubt, unlike almost all RV units. It didn't have the room ours did and was very dark. I guess I could cut in some windows. She said she really liked ours. At triple the money, well.... You never know, down the road things may change but today this is the plan. We've got the Pete, it will work for now. austinsailor • View posts Missouri New Member Joined: 08/06/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 02/16/23 05:28pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator There are a bunch of them for sale here: https://www.legacysleepers.com/used-trucks And we test drove this one: https://www.legacysleepers.com/2018-Volvo-VNL64T300-D13-with-144-Inch-ARI-Legacy-II-RDFS---1619 Nice truck, no doubt. and $$$ Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 2   Prev Open Roads Forum  >  Truck Campers  > Choices in non-basement truck campers?
