The NL is a good camper but if I were doing it all over again I would be more concerned about the Dometic (Heki) windows and skylight over the bunk than anything else. Especially the skylight.
I agree completely with Dewclaw. My NL was a 2012. It was stored outside for the two years prior to my purchasing it. I stored the unit inside from there on. One day when it was about 3 years old I go out to mess around in the camper and low and behold laying on the bed is part of the skylight latching mechanism. It had deteriorated due to exposure to the sun. I ended up and replaced both side latching systems. It caused me about a week of down time to get parts. I am so glad I was not on vaca or driving down the road when this part gave way. This is one of the primary objectives of mine when selecting a new camper. No Heki!
The power on/off switch caused me no bother and in fact I kind of like it where NL placed it. I just used a bungee cord to hold my door open. We really liked the NL. Ultimately we wanted a slide and did not want a unit with a Heki or the kind of windows NL uses.
