Progress since Northern Lite fire

Maybe it's too soon to be asking, but does anyone have any news about progress Northern Lite has made toward getting back into production?
  • My father bought a Villa Nova, a Western Australian Truck Camper, made with a Fiberglass mold,
    many years ago. His was the seventh to be produced, sadly they had a fire , a few months after Dad's purchase. We had many years of family fun, travelling all over Australia. Villa Nova, now Dove Campers are still in business, but have been building Van/Truck based Camper Conversions, for the last 40 years, very successfully.
    Truck Camping has been in my blood now for over 45 years.
    Hopefully, Norther Lite, survive!
  • The Northern Lite dealer in Roseville told me that they were moving into an old boat factory that had all of the necessary EPA permits for processing fiber glass. He said that they had one mold that was not destroyed in the fire and that it just so happened that Northern Lite had a big contract with a rental company for just that model. So if Northern Lite is honest with their dealers then this is good information for them.
  • When I called NL this week they said they have not made a decision what to do yet.That is the same response I got 2 weeks earlier.
