A thank you to Keith at NL

I run my business that customer relations are more important then the sale and I truly believe that all businesses should do the same, if you treat people nicely and show them respect they will want to deal with you. I find few other businesses that also believe this, most are more concerned about the dollar than anything else and it shows when you deal with them - get your item, put your money down and move along.

I have never met Keith at Northern Lite and the camper that I have was bought used from a car lot so he really never made any money directly from my purchase but the couple times I have contacted him over the years for information he has been VERY helpful. One time sending me some parts that I could not find locally and a couple times with information.

For the past week I have been trying to figure out how to fix my camper, it is now 24 years old and in a few areas it is showing its age, something like its owner :B. One problem that I had was from the use that I put it through and I was at a loss of how to repair it. I dropped Keith a Email this morning and minutes later had his recommendation on what product to use. Again this was in no way making him any money, in fact the longer that I keep my old camper the longer that it will be before I buy a new one.

In the RV world I have only found two suppliers that have been that helpful Torklift and NL, both of these companies have gone out of their way to answer questions and to lend advice and I am very grateful for both of them.
  • It's great to hear about companies that are run well, and take care of customers.
  • Good to hear about NL and their continued customer service involvement.

    I have personal experiences with TorkLift and YES they are hands down one of the best at customer service/product updating and follow thru.

    It's a shame more businesses don't follow suit.........it's isn't difficult just takes a commitment that customer service WILL be priority.
    When that is promoted/encouraged and mandated from TOP down the business can't help but be successful
  • We have a Northern Lite 10-2 CD SE and every time we have contacted Keith he has been incredibly helpful. It seems that it is a very conscious decision to run the business this way and a smart move. We would certainly recommend Northern Lite and would buy again. Happy campers!!!
  • I fully agree with you all NL (Keith) are wonderfull

  • Keith has always been very helpful to us as well, and again, we bought our unit used. We have asked him things that we should be on top of to keep the camper in tiptop shape, and he told us and supplied the product names and where to purchase the parts. Some parts have come from him, especially the AC platform. Great company and product.
  • We too purchased a used Northern Lite and have also asked Keith a lot of questions. He has always been so prompt, professional, and helpful in getting back to us. Thank you Keith for all of your help! We truly appreciate it.
