A big thanks to all of you who provided "constructive comments." It helped me better understand what you did or do without a dedicated toilet. The commentary, I can do without.
As it turns out, I recent sold my 2003 Ford F350. The truck was part of the reason for being cautious on camper weight.
I am now the new proud owner of a 2023 GMC 3500HD 4X4...with 4225# of Payload!
Now as far as a toilet goes, there will be one whenever I chose to purchase a truck camper. Your assistance helped me decide that.
Thanks!

But congratulations on the new rig! Comfort AND style!
So you started the thread a week or so ago when you still had the old superdoody and somehow thought it would only haul a tiny minimalist TC? (Not true, honestly it would haul similar weights similarly to the brand new Jimmy) And then decided to go for broke and get a new truck based on having a chitter in your maybe gonna get TC?

Never thought it would only haul a minimalist TC.
Payload between the 2003 and 2023 is 1225# so they are not similar.
New truck purchase is a personal choice.
Any yes...maybe a TC...maybe not!

I won’t argue the payload thing with you, as you don’t understand what I’m saying. But suffice it to say, aside from the new vs old aspect and I’m sure the new truck has a heavier rear spring rate, both are comparable in real world rear axle safe payload.
There are a ton of advantages and new features and advancements, etc with the new rig. It’s just weight carrying ability apples to apples is not one of them.
This is not an affront to your new truck at all. The new gmcs are awesome and you have a great truck. I’d roll one of those all day long! Congrats!

For those of you that have pop ups without a dedicated toilet, how do you handle your business....porta-potty, wag bags, ??
I can't answer your question because I never had a popup. But I used a porta potty for a long time in my dads 1966 beeline "my first camper" and my raven cuddy cabin boat. I had absolutely no problems what so ever that I can remember. I dumped at the end of the day depending on how drunk I was. Today they come in a huge variety of flavors and colors and I see some are even electric flush. The 2019 NorthStar TC650 Is a winning combo with your truck. I personally would not go with it but it's definitely a winning combo. I see no problem with this rig at all! The PP could possibly be stuck into the rear seat with a little bit of reconstruction etc... If nothing else at the very least you could take a dump behind a solid closed door and not a tent. The camper comes with a sink so you could freshen up and shower when you can. If your not ready for a toilet don't get one if you are do, the installed toilets are as much work if not more than a good PP.
Cheers, Joe
