Happy Camper or Frustrated Owner?
This thread is a rerun of a thread I ran in 2004 and again in 2005 . I was surprised and pleased that most who posted to the 2004 thread were in the happy camper category when the second thread ran. ...

The reason I am posting is that I agree COMPLETELY with everything that rgatijnet1 states above.
I do not have a motorhome, but do have a '14 5th wheel, which was NOT cheap to buy. I also have a 2013 Ford F350 diesel truck. The truck construction, technology, and QUALITY is much better then that of the 5er. Why is that, I wonder ?
If you go to the Fifth Wheels forum and look for the thread titled 'You gotta see this' that was started at the beginning of Feb, you will see the Honda concept mini truck and dedicated towable camper that looks like a mini 5th wheel. They both are really small and not very practical for the US but who knows what it could turn in to if Honda decided to build a version over here.
IMHO the US RV manufacturers should be shaking in their boots, praying that this entire idea just fades away. Honda normally succeeds at whatever they put their mind to - large or small (Is there a better free standing generator line then the current Honda generators ???). I rode bikes starting back in the late 60s and the Hondas were the standard that all other bike manufacturers worldwide strived to emulate. The good domestic vehicles we drive today are a direct result of the foreign 'invasion' of the Japanese imports that started in the 60s.
