They sell so many there's no reason to cater to a small segment of the market. Especially when that small segment is made up of guys like us that would be ,shall we say,a bit more discriminating of build quality.  :m   
 Of course a high quality off road toyhauler would be a seller ,IMO. There's opportunity knocking!!!!

Speaking of opportunity knocking I had the deal of the year fall in my lap a couple weeks ago. A customer wanted basically 8 40 foot 6X6 I beams fabbed into 2 piece,bolt together columns. No problem, we sell it pretty regularly,occasionally have some fab done. This fab quote came in fricking ridiculous but we knew the customer had little choice with the time restraints . Then I got to thinking,add on our markup and I was going to make about $3k profit on the sale. Then I really got my lazy ass to thinking and if I was to do the fabbing I was going to net about $10K. For 30 hours approx work. About $330 an hour. I'll take that deal.I'm  waiting on headers from Jet-Hot and stand height gauge from T&D s I'm dead in water in shop anyway. Sometimes things just work out. :)

that is a sweet deal!   yes this group of guys would be more discriminating of build quality! there is a market and they actually have one of the higher build qualities i have seen so far. now that isn't saying much when were talking camper  :m :m but comparatively they do and they are 1 of 3 companies that do not void your warranty if you tell them your traveling full time or an extended stay in there campers. they also offer a 3 year structural warranty that many other don't. the 3 year warranty isn't saying much of course as that isn't long term but still better than the 1 year standard.  btw the one i have been looking at has a 157 gal freshwater tank, 78 gallon grey water tank and a 78 gal black water tank. thats a lot of shit right there  rofl rofl

my response was holy shit ! eagle makes a triple slide model also. full optioned out with onboard lp 2500 genny , msrp is $62k so 25% to 30% off is where you should find the mammoth priced. lance has a 2 slide model and around here they want $45k to $50k. the lance is a very nice truck camper but for the same money or less i would buy the triple slide model! both require a 1 ton dually anyway. the triple slide mammoth weighs in at $4950 lbs dry.  that has thermal pane windows and r19 in the roof and floor, r11 in the wall i think.  amazing for that roof and walls considering. one can buy a damn nice fifthweel toyhauler for that money! or a well built trailer and slide in camper lol
