Top secret prototype

Just dropped my unit off at the service center and took a factory tour. They are doing a run of Northpoints. While there they pulled a unit into mid line to install side walls and than took it back somewhere else.

You do know if I tell u I will have to kill you. Or maybe Jayco me. I will give a hint. If you could make a new model Northpoint would you make a toy hauler with a front window!!!!

They are currently working on the North Point 385thws prototype. The floor plan is currently online. They hope to have it finished and at a show the end of November.

I am pretty sure it was two since they pulled it into the line to get side walls on

Zooming in on your top pic just to the left of that Orange ladder it looks like there are 3 wheels to me.

All the frames came from Lippert and with the electric level jacks. Looking at the upside down frames they look really beefy but are probably the standard 3.0 system. We did not get to close to the work areas. The support pads are silver metal and shiney which is a difference.

Kind of wondering why Jayco/Thor would even do this when they have a separate toy hauler line. Maybe the toy hauler line will go away and the three top FW will all get a toy haul option.

Looks like it only takes a single bike in under the bed. Not a full garage that would hold a SxS or 2 bikes.
