Trailer Life Awards

[BillB800si]

Jan 2014 issue of Trailer Life just released the 2013 reader awards in 27 categories of over 100 brands. These ratings are determined by RV users not manufacturers...

Here's some of the Gold Awards (1st Place):
Trailers: Keystone
Hitches: Equalizer
Tires: Michelin
Frig: Dometic

Woodglue, thought you would like to know that Lance was picked #1 in truck campers. :B :C
Happy trails,

I always enjoy reader surveys on stuff. Without them, there would be no Consumers' Reports and no reviews on Amazon, etc. I especially love them when they agree with what I have. Thanks, I'll look for the article. Happy Glamping (in about 2 months for us)

Of course they do. But that has no bearing on the outcome of the survey. It's a readers choice survey. If you read the magazine you would note that not all winner advertise in it./quote

Thanks goducks10, finally someone with some common sense. I post an upbeat message and then listen to all the cynics respond. This winter storm must be depressing people....
To the rest- Happy trails,

I approve of the ratings! Everyone else is wrong if you disagree!

When watching the Country Music Awards, or the Emmey Awards on television, one has to wonder who the "judges" are and by what criteria are they making their judgment?

I heard a preacher a long time ago make a comment I quite never forgot when he was comparing something spiritual to the Emmy Awards. He said something like, A bunch of Writers, Actors and Producers get together to make a movie production. They determine the (moral) content, the plot, direct, promote, and advertise their (wonderful and absolute must-see) latest kabash! Then, they give themselves an award for doing such a good thing!

I really forget the "spiritual" (thing) he was relating to, but I never quite forgot that. So, whenever these "awards" or "ratings" are published, one has to always ask: Whose the judge and what was the criteria?

Means nothing to me other than maybe a couple sell points.

Now, if a trailer maker could convince Truma to get their stuff into the US market, now that would be an obvious thing to make the list. Truma makes RV products that are easily 20 years ahead of Norcold, Atwood, and Suburban.

Meaningless.
