And....will they reduce prices as components become more available and come down in price? The rest of the RV industry is already reducing prices for that reason plus the fact that consumer demand is declining. Or maybe they're counting on demand from a small segment to be strong enough that these new trailers can buck the trends and maintain their price inelasticity. That's also, like you said, known as "going too far" for a profit.
you know more than most of us.... A lot of businesses went out of business over the past two years.... Those that survived or saw an opportunity are pricing their products realistically..... This is North America if we are being overcharged...... you have the perfect opportunity to start a business and offer "fair pricing".... Henry Ford did that a century ago.
I had to get a (parking) permit for a hike. The Ranger issuing the permit said last year all the permits were taken 7 days a week from July - Sept. This year the numbers have almost dropped to pre-Covid levels. Next year they may cancel permits or just use them for long week ends.And....will they reduce prices as components become more available and come down in price?

no, this is the north american way.... europe too..... this is why we fight wars
That's the kind of report we like to hear! What's an "O.A." customized 5th wheel? We have a New Horizons customized 5th wheel (for now).
I think that a 40 below claim is a little much, but honestly, its like a sleeping bag that has a -20 rating, survivable yes, comfortable? I am pretty savvy when it comes to quality, and it is really good, frame/suspension is excellent. Hardware, fasteners were top notch. My negatives were the drawers, the Kimberley are all metal which I personally prefer, and I understand why the tongue is so long, its gives a great turning radius, but they could have had a 16 foot box with the same overall length, that would have been worth it over a little better turning radius. It make the sitting area too small. they did a great job wiring the trailer, this is so important for long term reliability. What ROA needs to quit saying is "Best trailer in the world" What they need to say is its on par with the some of the best trailers made. Its clearly not the best trailer in the world, that is a very bold statement.
If you haven't seen it already, ROA has a YouTube video where they visited IO and showed a lot of the build steps for the X22. We don't seem to be clear yet how the construction of the new models differs from the X22.
That video is the new age of staged factory tours where they don't show the gross details and workmanship.
Not on the walls or box frame. Since I have a S3 on the way, I was not that interested, just happy to see a manufacture build what seems to be 10x better than anything we currently make in the US.
