Northland 6'6" ; here it one pictured on a Silverado 1500, looks like it's dragging this truck down (but have an F250 shortbox superduty). It has no wet or dry bath. Wonder what the weight is?
The new palomino backpack has ridded itself of cabinet doors in lieu of stretchy netting, idea to reduce weight?
Trying to get the right weight arrangement. Want to travel around solo but sometimes will need to take up to three other adult passengers (in extended cab), and with them and their stuff that could be another 600 lb. The "sometimes passenger" issue is why to stay camper-light even with a 3/4 ton truck, and might consider sometimes pulling a small trailer for spillover sleeping. Also did want to offroad a little so got a 4x4 and do not want a real massive/tall camper that sways and all that.
As far as the no-bath issue, was thinking of the bucket method stowed in the bench and a blow up bathtub and sprayer (which weighs 4 lb as opposed to a 200 lb wetbath). Ordered one to see how it works at home, it has a drain to which you can attach a hose, will report in a week or so. It looks like you might be able to soak without much water, and just use a cup to wash hair. Maybe this simple arrangement built into the bench seat with a pad over it for seating use (line "funnel" with tp then toss away with a biodegradable doggie bag inverted over hand) or just use it for pee then put the cap on and carry it to restroom toilet to flush. So no need to empty black tanks.
