New (to us) Northpoint 315RLTS

[MattS]

Congrats on your new rig. Enjoy your travels!!

Great rig, we have a 2018 315 NP. TV is 2017 Ram 3500 DW long bed. Pulls like a dream and no problem in the winds coming across the Wyoming plains. I love this rig. Keep an eye on the shakle bolts on the NP. If they are wet bolts keep them greased, if not highly recommend to up grade. We opted to order the 8K axles, 17.5" wheels and disk breaks when we ordered. Have not regretted that decision! Enjoy your camping and travels!

TV GVWR is 11,500. Scale indicated 11,420 hitched. TV GCVWR is 24,000. Our combined was 23,280. I have moved our heavy cargo out of the front storage area to a rear cargo carrier. The Honda 2000 and Weber barbecue are there, along with all of our 2x10x10 pads. Dual rear wheels would provide safety in the event of a rear tire failure. Our tire monitors provide pressure and temperature and we keep the TV rear tires close to max cold inflation for max capacity. This would let us know if we have a leak as well. Low pressure can cause a blow out. Our TV is equipped with Michelin Defenders.
We haven't had any issues and the ride is very smooth. I did add air bags to help cushion the ride. We aren't planning to go DRW.

About same set up as ours. Love kit.

Hello. Curious which washer/dryer you went with and any review of it? We have a 2021 310rlts north point that should be in soon. We want to add a w/d as well.

Thanks

We went with the Splendide stacking washer and vented dryer and worked it into the deal when we ordered the trailer. It saved us $$$$. We use it like a cloths hamper and just toss ever thing in rather than having a hamper or dirty clothes bag sitting somewhere. It has been a real upgrade in convenience. It's smaller so we just turn it on almost daily and go do whatever we want rather than sitting in a laundry mat waiting.

Splendide Ariston stackable w/vented dryer. Great setup.

Congrats on the NP and welcome to the forum!

We also have the set up below and really like the 315. One word of caution, the small door that covers the switches for the lights etc. can be dangerous. One day the door was slightly opened and I didn’t realize it and when I went up the stairs I put a gash in my head from it. Needless to say after that the door was removed and stored under the bed. As you can see I pull it with a gas hemi which is rated to tow almost 16,000 pounds. We tow to Florida in December and back to New York in April, so that set up suits us just fine. Just something to think about.

We went stackable too. They had to make a few modifications due to the moron engineers that made it so the door wouldn’t open because the bed was in the way.

Same here John. My wife had me remove it. Probably the first mod on our 315RLTS.
