NSA Touts Dealer-Direct Distribution, New Fifth Wheel Hitch

NSA RV Products, manufacturer of towing products, announced it is revamping its distribution by shifting to a dealer-direct strategy, allowing its dealers to earn a larger slice of the profits.

Under the new program all dealer partners will enjoy a 25% gross profit margin, and all dealer orders are shipped out within one or two working days from the company’s centralized Kansas headquarters and shipping hub. This central shipping location means dealers receive NSA products within three days of ordering through UPS.

By eliminating distributors, NSA said its dealers do not have to pay distributor markups, increasing dealer profitability. Through this strategy, NSA dealers can sell at lower prices and enjoy higher profit margins.

According to Tod Westervelt, owner of NSA RV Products, the company is also introducing three new models to the company’s line of ZEUS fifth wheel hitches at the Open House.

Joining the company’s 22,500-pound-capacity ZEUS fifth wheel hitch are three new models; the 28,000-pound-capacity ZEUS 5000 HD, the 28,000-pound Z-6000 HD and the super lightweight ZEUS Z-7000. All ZEUS hitches are backed up with a lifetime warranty.

The 28,000-pound ZEUS Z-5000 HD hitch can be used on both short bed and long bed trucks, as the design allows 22 inches of movement for the 2-5/16-inch ball. This sturdy hitch weighs only 58 pounds and boasts an 8,000-pound tongue weight.

This hitch also includes a kingpin adaptor, allowing kingpins to safely connect with 2-5/16 inch balls.

The ZEUS Z-6,000 HD offers a 28,000-pound towing capability and 8,000-pound tongue weight, while only weighing 55 pounds. As with the Z-5000, this hitch fits onto any turn-over ball and can accommodate both short-bed and long-bed trucks by allowing 22-inches of ball movement. Like the ZEUS Z-5000, this hitch includes a king pin adaptor.

The super-light ZEUS Z-7000 hitch weighs only 39 pounds, but offers a 20,000-pound towing capability and a 6,000-pound tongue load. It also includes a kingpin adaptor, allowing the kingpin to hook up to a 2-5/16-in. ball.

The new ZEUS hitches give dealers a full line of products to offer to fifth wheel trailer owners along with a higher profit margin thanks to NSA’s new dealer-direct distribution program.

As with all of NSA’s towing products, the fifth wheel hitches are now selling direct from NSA to our dealers.
