Poptop vista

I have set this to 50 see the example in Figure A , which is many more than I will ever need I would say that 10 are enough for my needs :. Now let's rebuild the kernel; we need to create a copy of the platform-dependent configuration file:. Hopefully you shouldn't get any nasty errors thrown up.

Once the build process has completed you should find the kernel filename is simply bsd with the size 4. Let's now replace the default kernel:. Now, a reboot will verify that all is working okay. After you log on, you should see the name of your new kernel Custom-Poptop-build to the right of the timestamp.

Well that's the kernel recompiled; it wasn't as tricky as it sounds was it? The next step is to create the additional tun devices Virtual Point-to-Point network devices and finish installing and configuring Poptop. Let's get started: tun0 — tun3 exist by default, so create additional devices with the following:.

Flying along now, we can get down to installing the Poptop package. Download the package from the repository of your choice and install with:.

A few errors are thrown, but they aren't anything to worry about. Let's get down to the Poptop configuration. The format is quite simple:. This file needs to have chmod performed on it after editing.

It's nice to have any PPP log messages sent to it's own log file, as this makes debugging easier and keeps things tidy. Just as a hint, find the syslogd process ID with ps aux. There will be two syslogd processes running, so you need to use the one running as root.

I would recommend doing this as it would be easy to forget to start the daemon after rebooting and takes no effort to set up. Our last consideration is the firewall Packet Filter. Now all that's left is to test it. We opted for the 12, BTU furnace, but this is a smaller camper.

The advantage is that the 12, BTU model uses only 1. Above: Options include left to right glass top two-burner stove, solar, exterior shower, and a Winegard Razor interior mounted antenna roof antennas are also available — click to enlarge.

Rex: I think a lot Vistas will be ordered with an auto-ignition water heater, exterior shower, grey tank, glass top two-burner cooktop, rear window air conditioner, stereo system, electric jacks, and a Heki skylight.

Of course all of those options add weight. I think it will mirror the same option choices as the TC that it was modeled after. Inventory units that hit dealer lots will probably reflect that. Above: The lower dinette bed can be made into a inch by inch bed — click to enlarge. Rex: With the dinette and double bi-fold overhead bunk, which is an option, the sleeping capacity of the Vista is three adults.

The dinette bed is inches by inches, just enough for a couple. Above: The Lagun table can be swung into any position you want and can be taken down when making the dinette into a bed — click to enlarge. The lower dinette bed worked out well. You need to break the Lagun table leg down to extend the bed another foot. I call it the expandable dinette. The overhead bunk is inches by inches with a pound weight capacity. If someone is traveling alone, the overhead bunk can be used for a gun rack, gear, or general storage.

At first I was going to make the overhead bunk standard in the Vista, but I decided to make it an option to lower the price and weight of the camper. Not everyone needs an overhead bunk, but it definitely increases the functionality of the Vista for long distance travel. Rex: There is a 20 gallon fresh tank. You can add a 7. I expect most of the Vistas will be ordered with a grey tank. Above: Northstar Campers feature four gallon auto-ignition water heaters for — click to enlarge.

For , Northstar has changed to four gallon auto-ignition water heaters across the board. The four gallon water heaters are smaller, lighter, and more efficient.

You can light the water heater inside with the flick of a switch, let it run for a half hour, and then shut it off. With the insulation around the water heater, the water will be hot to blend most of the day, and you will conserve propane. If the water starts to get cooler, simply flip the water heater back on and let it run a few more minutes. Rex: The Vista has a 20 pound vertical propane tank located in a ventilated propane compartment just to the right of the entrance door.

By using the common 20 pound vertical propane tank, you can exchange your propane almost anywhere; Home Depot, Lowes, gas stations, you name it. Who wants to take their propane tank to be filled when you can just exchange it? For this reason, we now have 20 pound vertical propane tanks in all but two of our smallest pop-up models. Above: Winterizing features include a battery disconnect, installed winterizing kit, and hot water heater bypass — click to enlarge.

Rex: For winterizing, the Vista features everything a cabover Northstar features. That includes a battery disconnect, installed winterizing kit, and hot water heater bypass. The optional outside shower is also bypassed for winter use. It is apparent customers prefer quality foam mattresses over inner spring RV mattresses, so we are making the upgrade. The Vista features aviation-style cabinetry catches. I also designed a lot of interior LED lights and outlets into the unit.

The dinette area has a volt outlet and volt charging station with USB ports for computers and other electronics. TCM: Tell us about the optional air conditioner. Will it run on a Honda EUi generator?

Rex: The optional wall mounted air conditioner only draws 5. A Honda EUi could handle it with ease. You want to be able to have a conversation when the air conditioner is running. For the Vista, we offer both the roof mounted Mach 8 and the wall mounted unit, but the wall mounted unit is all the heavily insulated Vista needs.

The wall mounted unit also keeps the height of the Vista down. Rex: The front rack is an option for folks who want to store additional gear. The rack can hold up to pounds, so you can store a generator, water container, or a extra food. The rack comes with a heavy-duty zippered bag, and heavy-duty straps that attach the bag to the rack.

It also includes a quality hooked net if you do not want to use the bag. It is also possible to install the rear Eagle Fiamma self supporting awning on the rear or the side of the Vista.

Rex: The Vista will comfortably work on most F and series trucks. Half-ton trucks are the obvious choice, but the Vista will also work on three-quarter ton or one-ton trucks.
