Quantity over quality.

That succinctly sums it up David. And, as long as people keep buying them regardless of the fact, it's going to continue. We would need another big crunch to tighten up the industry again...

During the current age of RV building, quality has gone into the toilet in exchange for high production numbers as people buy them despite their shortcomings.
That's kinda what I was thinking, things have gone downhill since then.

Morning Doug... 2019 must be a slow year and the recession has started. No one has posted on buying a darn thing all month?!?!?

Well Rodney, get them started on the latest trend! We read about tractors and new home construction, but really don't know what to buy, because you aren't telling us what we need!

In a holding pattern here. Too much up in the air to buy anything. I've got plenty picked out if we sell. Plenty more if we stay. It's a wait and see though. Two showings this weekend. Fingers crossed...

I'm not sure that's a reliable indicator.... lol.
Menards has gotten a lot of my money the last few weeks as I work on a basement bathroom. And having a toy hauler RV has spoiled me when traveling, so I'm starting to look at small enclosed trailers for the times i don't need the other 30' of trailer.

I was just out measuring my trailer Chad. It would appear that a Polaris Ace 900 XC would fit nicely in there along with the General...

I bought something from your friends at MorRyde last week. Drawer for the pass through compartment on my trailer. Design and construction is fantastic. Installation is simple as it comes completely assembled. This one is 20X90 and slides out 60% in either direction. They come in various sizes. It's going to be revolutionary for my storage uses while camping. Bonus is I emptied the compartment out and got rid of every piece of useless crap I never used in the 3 years I have owned this trailer. I feel so much more organized already! The bin system I had was terrible.




The old "system".

Glad to hear you're keeping the XLR now.

That's a big negative Chad. The XLR will be sold to the first one through the door with the money. I was measuring my enclosed aluminum trailer...


Slick drawer Eric!

Good morning guys, Nothing new here but a new knee, a week ago Wednesday. I'm off work for the next six weeks doing rehab. I'm thinking I might be able to get some Bronco time in after a couple of weeks.

That Polaris Ace 900 XC is a really neat looking machine. I know an older guy has one like that, rides around year-round licensed for the street!

Nice drawer Eric, That's going make that storage compartment a lot more usable.

Wow Tim, hope that heals up soon for you. I have family that has done both knees and hips. All seem to be like it never happened after a few months of recovery. I was just at the doc myself for my chronic neck pain. It's getting worse and my insurance just got better so I figured I'd get going on a diagnosis. With Maryann being in MRI and my uncle being a retired neurosurgeon, I had a pretty good guess before seeing the imagery what was going on. They were right. I have a bit of a bone spur in one location and some narrowing in another. Off to a neurologist and and MRI to get a clearer picture. Not yet sure what the cure will be.

As to the Ace, I was initially after a RZR RS1. It's super slick but a bit wide for our trail gates in Maine which just about accommodate the General. I could make it work but it's not really the right machine for my kind of trail riding. The Ace should be good for both trails and utility work around the house and land. Will see if they offer any rebates during their spring sales event...
