I think the number of them is the big problem.
Every few years new "backyard shop" starts making TC, they sell them and when warranty claims pile-up, they close the door.
For comparison Country Coach is the only big bus conversions manufacturer and they have rock-solid reputation for decades.
No TC manufacturer makes aluminium body.
I did own Airstream camper, I did own bus with stainless steel siding and I would love to own aluminium TC.
The only available are very old Avons and they come in too small sizes for me.
You'd think that with $80,000 pricing on new campers somebody would like to make lasting design?

I just saw a press release about a new camper. Aluminum frame with riveted skin. Painted up all yellow on a yellow truck. Can't find it now. Maybe someone else saw it??
edit.....I found it on "Truckcamperadventures.com"

The photo of the Travel Lite 770R is our former camper on our former Ram 1500 taken in front of our house. I can't for the life of me figure out where he got my photo from ? I guess if you take a photo with your phone, it becomes public property :-)

Once the photo makes it to facebook - it becomes marketing property.

I tried Facebook for 6 months as an experiment and then deleted my account. The time frame of the camper ownership and the posting of those photos does line up .... mystery solved :-)

I was surprised how many manufacturers there are now. Isn’t this even more than than almost any time in the past decade?

Article with List of Manufacturers with their Websites

Good job, Mellow Mike.

I like Mike and his website. Looks like a complete list. Nice to see everyone represented. :)

Mike offered to feature my camper and solar in an issue. Ultimately I didn't take him up but I like how he features regular owners and their campers often.
