Its great if you have what you like and works for you...
IMO: (on Alpine) (technical stuff) The Peak Chassis and Pelham chassis (like
Safari used) - no air bags...
has hydraulic disk brakes -- can present problems on something that big and
heavy .. have heard ads "oh, its the same braking system like airplanes
use"... well ...may be, but airplanes do change their brakes about every 3rd
landing...
in past few years, there have been a number of different Alpine dealers in
our area, all dropped it - now there is a another....
I doubt that Bob Lee taking over will be enough....
Between now and middle next year, probably going to see a lot of RV mfgs.
end up like National...gone.
Is anyone old enough on here to remember what happened in the 70s (last real
big fuel price "fluctuation" - bunches of mfgs & dealers "went
under")....survivor
included Winnebago, Fleetwood, Prevost Conversions & a few others....
just a few thoughts on the "other side" of the coin...
