I bought a new 2019 10-2 after leaving the dealer I thought I would double checked the lights. I had running lights, turned on the flashers they worked so I thought I had brake and turn signals. I was stopped by the highway patrol seems like every time I hit the brake the back up lights came on. This has been the never ending story of Northern Lite annoying problems. I was trying to find out from Northern Lite if there was a dealer or repair shop I could take the R.V. to that was closer than 400 miles. Here is Northern Lite's response "THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE ARE INVOLVED WITH" . This is comforting wonder what the something is that they are involved with. Anyway, I have a 07 GMC, (you know the camper a 2019 Northern Lite 10-2) I have a factory trailer hitch and a factory plug in for a trailer if you have suggestions please help as it is, we are stuck not able to hit the road, I did get the camper home but sure need help with how to wire up everything.

You spend your hard earned money on their top of the line TC and this is their response, WOW!

devildog1971Who is the dealer?Call Keith Donkin at the factory at 250-765-3702. He is the General Manager of Northern Lite and is very responsive. He won't tolerate this lack of Customer Service and will advise you immediately.I am only guessing but a wire could be crossed or shorted to another terminal in one of the 7 pin connectors. Is there any way that you can verify that your 7 pin connector on the back of your truck is working correctly? If it is correct, then the jumper cable between your truck and the camper needs to be verified. Beyond that, Keith will advise you.Welcome to the Northern Lite Family,LeRoy

go to any rv dealer they have a pigtail tester 99% likely its a simple miss wire or look up Bargman 7 way plug wiring and test yourselfgmc link

I find it very hard to believe that was their response. I don't doubt your word just surprised. I had a ? that I called about 2 days ago and Keith called me within minutes of hanging up, The same service I've been getting for 7 yrs. now. Most likely just a crossed wire, had that on my old T.C. I would call again and ask for Keith, @ above #. Good luck.

I am going to go buy a pig tail tester today and new cord This was the third time I asked for Northern Lites help to find repair service I I should not have to pay for or drive 471 miles to the dealer. I would be happy to copy and paste Northern Lites e-mail to me, it was pretty snotty. I was going through the paper work and found the PREDELIVERY sheet still in the envelope NOT FILLED OUT NOTHING WAS CHECKED ON THE FORM. I do not blame the dealers employees completely they were jumping from job to job and constantly being asked to do something else before they finished there last four or five jobs. If I have to return to the dealer I would like to have my gas and one nights stay at a campground paid for. Wish I had bought the Bigfoot and 4K cheaper but the wife liked this one. once they asked me to sign a arbitration paper I should have run away.
