LCI is buying up everything it seems like. They bought HappyJac, Fantastic Fan, Lippert Components makes about 95% of the chassis for 5ers, and conventional trailers. They bought Indiana specialty which makes RV doors and locks. Who knows what is next.
I'm not impressed with LCI as a rule. Poor bedside manner generally. Since they bought HappyJac you cannot even call the factory, no one answers the phone if you have a question. It's a robo answer and thats it.
At least TorkLift answers the phone and is friendly and answers questions and concerns, but then I also have the direct line to their products manager, that helps.
TL is much better quality components at a price of course.
