Bob, thx for posting link to article. It sounds like they've seen Trailblazers and FB info, but aren't aware of this forum. There's a lot of info here they may find useful.

That is very interesting. It sounds similar to some of the local industries in this area. There are several communities of Mennonites that are into fabrication of stuff like outdoor furniture, gazebos, the pre-built backyard storage sheds and workshops etc. And they make some really well built stuff for a reasonable price.
Looking at their literature, it seems like there is a business headquarters somewhere, with builders located all over multiple states doing the production, sales and delivery. Such as the Mennonite families in our area.

Oh, and while I am at it, here is my number one piece of feedback, in case the new owners do read any of this.
Although I don't foresee ever buying another camper of any type at my age, please make the removable cassette toilet the standard equipment. After all isn't that one actually the least expensive, unless I'm mistaken?
With possible options for the flush/tank models or even the old trusty Electromagic, for those who want that.

One great, positive step is to put quality control into the production process. The dealers or the customers should not be the party to find all the mistakes and problems of a finished unit. This comment is directed at the industry, not specifically TrailManor.
How hard could it be to pressurize the plumbing to see if there is a slow leak? How about testing each 12V outlet for not only power but also for polarity?
How about running an amp test on the brakes to see if none, one or both brakes are connected.
I pick on these because my unit built in 2011 had problems like that.
But also test the furnace, the AC, the front Jack, water test the windows and even perhaps axle alignment. How hard can this be??

At the end of the article, it says that he read the forum as part of his research.
“Honestly, I don’t think you can put a limit on the potential of this project. I’ve talked to two dealers, I’ve read the (TrailManor Owner's Pages) forum, I’ve been on Facebook,” he said, “and the positives outweigh the negatives so much.”

Thanks Bill, I'm glad you caught that (which I missed), and I'm glad they've seen this forum. Would love to see someone from the new company on here and maybe even participate in discussions.

This is very encouraging news. It sure seemed like TM's would fade away - glad hard working industrious people will be making them! Bodes well for the continued value of our TM's for resale, too......
