New WW at the Tampa show

Different builder with rights to the iconic toy hauler name. Does not appear that original WW owner Mark Warmoth is involved with this latest incarnation. More details about their construction available on their website.

Just heard back from Andrew Arnett from WW and invited me up for a tour of their plant and also assured me that they are not have any of the problems the old company did.
But of course the problems they had don't just happen overnite so we'll see what they have to offer.

How big is the garage on the 45 footer? Maybe it was on the web site but I didn't see it.

Not even close to being the same thing, they took a Porsche name tag and hung it on a VW.

Did you or are going to take him up on his invite? From what I have seen and read on line these look like they could be one of the better built trailers available. I don't know.

Yes I'm trying to see how my schedule is so I can make an appt. The 4100 is 45' long and has a 15' garage with a 1/2 bath.

The name Weekend Warrior was THE name in the Toy Hauler industry for a number of yeas. They were in many ways the pioneer for the whole market. They may not have been the very first but they were a key early player and one that set the stage that we have today. Weekend Warrior meant Toy Hauler just like Kleenex means facial tissue.

I believe his analogy is saying they took a well known and popular name and put it on a cheaper product. I don't know the product enough to say that's true or not though. Hopefully the long term quality is better.

That said what many WW owners know is that WW took short cuts and thus ended up with some pretty significant problems for some of their units. It's sort of like the 1950 Sunbeam toaster I still have from my parents, talk about quality. Today the Sunbeam name has been sold and it's cheap junk from China trying to ride on the coattails from a generation.

IMHO only time will tell how the new Weekend Warrior RVs hold up.
