Are budget RVs really possible?

[Ken Sann]

btw, those Hino's (Toyota's Heavy Truck division) are actually assembled here in
the Los Angeles area. That's right, Southern California. Where I worked we had
several, they were bulletproof trucks. Took lot's of abuse by our drivers.

Personally, I agree that this would be a great combination.

Lemme show you two items:

http://www.trucktraderonline.com/caddeta...683729.htm

That's a brand new commercial truck chassis with cab, diesel, 220hp,
made for HEAVY loads, auto tranny, good fuel economy. Japanese import,
$50k.

And here's a group building travel trailers with all the goodies,
aluminum tube frame and aluminum skin, complete and self contained -
30ft long by 102" body no slideout goes for $30k:

Now can somebody explain to me why Santek or somebody like them couldn't
build "industrial strength ClassCs" under $100k that would kick the rump
off of idiotic Winnabago or similar crap?
