Nomad Neal

Nomad Neal is a solar, LED lighting and fire suppression business based in Elk City, Oklahoma. Dawn runs the business side and her husband does the labor, with a combined 30+ years of hands-on experience in carpentry, detailing, electrical (A/C and D/C), plumbing and solar. It calls itself "Veteran Owned and operated."

It adds or upgrades solar, inverter and battery systems, and it says it specializes in "fully integrated Victron Energy systems powered by Battle Born or EPOCH batteries." Its LED lighting is Boogey Lights, from interior accent lighting to full perimeter underglow. Its fire suppression is Proteng, a heat-activated system for the engine, batteries, inverter, fuse boxes and transfer switch. Strip and reseal covers body moldings, seams and compartment doors. The RV types listed are Class A and 5th wheel.

Installs are done in its two-bay shop in Elk City, which it says "allows for installations regardless of the weather outside." Ask when you call 727-359-1800 whether it will come to your campground or driveway. It publishes no hourly rate, trip fee or install prices, and it lists no hours, so ask about all of them before you book.

Its main credential is being an "authorized Boogey Lights dealer/installer," which generally means the manufacturer has approved the business to sell and install its lights. No license, insurance or warranty is published, so ask about each, and get the warranty in writing before the install, since it is what covers the work after you drive away. Google rates it 5 stars from 10 reviews.

This is a good fit for a Class A or 5th wheel owner who wants a solar, lighting or fire suppression upgrade and can plan around a shop visit. Its listed work does not include A/C, refrigerator or other repair, so a traveler with a broken system will need someone else.
