Northern Lite.

[glh101282]

I am in the market for a used Northern Lite 9.6. Does this forum have a classified section? Does anyone know of one that is for sale or dealers west of the Mississippi who usually have a good stock in hand. I know of Toms camper land, but any others.

Thanks.

People looking for a Bigfoot or Northern Lite have done exactly that, that’s why they want one of those!!
You still have to mind the seals on windows and hatches, but the fiberglass clamshell campers are absolutely more water-tight and weather-resistant.

The problem is used ones go for so much money that when I tried to find a deal on one I ended up going new - and that’s very unlike me!

It is a facebook page titled "Northern Lite truck campers for sale".

The above is the preferred method rather than to ask/post in the user/owner forums as there currently is none there being offered.

You may want to make an ISO 9-6 post in one of the two Facebook Northern Lite Owner/Enthusiast groups. They typically let folks in the research phase of purchasing a NL join. Always somebody on the edge about making a decision to sell. Your post could bring them out.

Sales of NL's have increased quite a bit in the last few years. More times than not, used, late model NL's can be found on rvtrader.com; however, the vast majority of these will be located at dealerships. Older NL's in good shape are scarce. IMO, you'll need to keep your search nationwide if you want to find something sooner rather than later.

Good luck!

No, the forums do not have a classified ads section. It is also not allowed to use a thread or post for that purpose.

Keep looking but the market is very tight now.

It’s hard to find any used TCs now, especially a NL or Bigfoot.
Toms has the only one I’ve seen scanning CL and RV Trader.
It looks like a nice one but I think they’re asking around $38k.
