Northern Lite’s 10-2EX LE camper blends lightweight design with full comfort for serious travel adventures
“The ultimate in comfort and luxury” — that’s how Northern Lite describes its 10-2EX LE truck camper. This Limited Edition version of the popular 10-2 Series brings a full dry bathroom and a long list of high-end features.
And honestly, that claim isn’t far off. The 10-2EX LE feels like a legit home on wheels, just one that rides in the bed of your pickup — as long as it’s a long-bed, one-ton truck. Built to sleep up to three people, it’s designed for both quick trips and full-time living, with solid four-season capability and impressive off-grid range.
Northern Lite has been building campers in British Columbia since 1989, focusing on lightweight, two-piece fiberglass construction. The Limited Edition models first showed up in 2020 to mark the company’s 30th anniversary, and they still hold up strong today.
This camper makes great use of space, combining durable materials with smart design. Whether you’re heading out for a weekend fishing trip or planning to live on the road, it’s built to handle both.
The 10-2EX LE starts with a dry weight of about 3,510 pounds and features a fully enclosed, insulated fiberglass shell. It measures 218 inches long, 98 inches wide, and offers about 6.8 feet of interior headroom.
Inside, the layout is straightforward but well thought out. Up front in the cabover is a true queen-size bed. The middle section houses the dinette and kitchen, while the rear includes a full bathroom and entryway.
This LE version adds extras like dual powered awnings with LED lighting, one at the rear and one along the campsite side, plus outdoor speakers and a sturdy folding step system.
There’s also a large heated storage compartment near the entry, running almost the full length of the camper. It’s perfect for storing wet gear or longer items like skis. Additional storage compartments are located along the side, including space for an optional outdoor kitchen or generator.
Step inside, and the bathroom sits immediately to the left. It’s a true dry bath, built entirely from fiberglass with molded fixtures. You get a proper toilet, a roomy shower, a sink, and a medicine cabinet. There’s even an adjustable shower rod so the curtain doesn’t cling while you wash.
Across from the bathroom is plenty of storage, including a full-height closet and deep drawers that extend toward the kitchen. The kitchen itself feels close to residential, with a large stainless steel sink, pull-out faucet, three-burner gas cooktop, and appliances from Furrion. There’s also a sizable 12V fridge with freezer.
You’ll find solid meal prep space and storage throughout, with cabinetry made from Sapele hardwood. The dinette table uses the same material and can convert into a bed by lowering the tabletop and rearranging the cushions. Buyers can choose between a standard booth dinette or a U-shaped setup.
Up in the cabover bedroom, there’s even more storage, including another closet and side compartments under the windows. A swivel-mounted TV sits in the corner, adding a bit of entertanment for downtime.
Standard features include dual-pane acrylic windows, a Truma heating system, a roof-mounted Dometic air conditioner, a 6-gallon water heater, and two powered roof fans with rain sensors. The camper also comes equipped with solar panels delivering 600 watts, backup cameras, power jacks, and an outdoor shower.
Water capacity stands at 40 gallons fresh, 40 gallons gray, and 18 gallons black. There are also dual propane tanks with a combined 40-pound capacity. Fully loaded, the camper weighs around 3,800 pounds.
Optional upgrades include lithium battery systems (either 200Ah or up to 600Ah), a larger refrigerator, an Onan 2500i generator, thermal windows, and the U-shaped dinette if not already selected.
Pricing for a well-equipped unit typically falls between $75,000 and $79,000 in the U.S. Of course, that doesn’t include the truck itself.
Still, if you already have the right pickup, you’re getting a camper with a six-year structural warranty, lighter weight than many competitors, and a level of build quality that aims to stand out — even if it’s not exactly cheap, it’s built to last and deliever comfort almost anywhere.
