Doing what he suggested would be a good idea regardless...

I actually already did. What I found was that the builders basically all talk badly about products that aren't the one they use.

"TC is great! Those other guys are selling you stuff you don't need!"

"Cascadia is a much better product. TC has problems."

etc. etc.

Confirmation bias is a heck of a thing!

He suggested that many partners will assemble campers from all three. If that is true, then those are the ones you'd need to talk to.

That has not been my experience.

Let me clarify a bit. There are a handful of vendors who used to work with TC, and now work with Cascadia. BlackDogVan's comments, if they are actually part of the Cascadia team seem like an underhanded way to to get me to hear someone talk ********** about a competitor of theirs.

And Cascadia is VERY knew! People were singing TC's praises when they launched, too. Time will tell...

There are none that currently work with more than one vendor that I was able to find.

Thanks! I’m not sure that gives me much insight into Lemkur vs. TC vs. Cascadia though…

It was a response to your comment "There are none that currently work with more than one vendor that I was able to find"

You’re right. I was a bit handwavey given the context of the convo was about the big three.

It's going to be a decade before you finish the project so the comparison seems rather moot. Who know what will be the best in 10 years. Anyone of the companies you listed make a fantastic product. I doubt you would be able to tell the difference from an end user standpoint. Also, Artic tern doors are pretty poor quality, not sure about the windows but they don't impress me.

He does admit to being "reluctant."

That's pretty thin skinned.

In the past you have picked the brains on this forum from best vehicles to the size of bolts to construction components and while we may have learned a few things, the reality is, you don't have anything to show for it. Some may be getting tired of your endless research.

While Darwin was giving you ten years, I'm betting it will never happen, I'm not being rude I'm being skeptical. Trying to build some million dollar rig on a beer budget isn't going to end well.
