    hard to beat hard-top camper setup times for sure. My wife drives a 100 Series as well. Great combo!

    As near as I can tell it's just that couple. I ran into a guy with one in the parking lot of my local hardware store and got a chance to take a look at one and pick his brain. He mentioned that it was just the couple building them and he recommended they get some staff to help meet demand. It really sounded like they're building them in a shop one at a time. I don't think they're building the base of the canopy, I believe, but I am not certain, that they are outsourcing that to someone local that builds contractor canopies.

    Yep.....as far as I could tell, it's just the two of them. I don't really understand it, because they could sell many more than they can build.

    Sure, they could sell more. On the flip side, I can also respect the decision not to grow the company. Look at the QC issues that GFC, Scout had (and continue to have) when they ramped up production. There's something to be said about staying small with a full order book where you maintain control of the majority of the construction process.

    Agreed. Tons of respect for Tyler and Erin. For those of us who've been lucky enough to get in line early, they're phenomenal to work with. We've had ours since May and with every mod I make, I bounce ideas off them and they're awesome. Great customer service.

    They are the best! :) I'm a bit biased since they are my friends from college, but they truly care about every single camper they build and would never cut corners.
