The cassette toilet thing is interesting, but I really wonder if it will catch on with other than the young and fit crowd. 7 gallons is over 50 pounds that has to be lifted and held, while pushing a...

I heard through the grapevine that Hymer had meetings with the dealer network while all this was in the "in between" time from when it was first announced as a partnership, and the final acquisition...

I think it all started back with the etrek early claims of run times, charging times, etc that were obviously violating the laws of physics. JH took it very personally if anyone asked how they got...

At the the very beginning of this discussion, I said I thought that it would be 6-12 months before Hymer would do anything much in the management ranks, and still do. That, of course, doesn't mean...

Have any of the Roadtrek "consultants" piped up on any of this, or their status?

JH doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut, but if he is to survive, I think he better learn. His rants, bragging, insults of criticizers, etc, have been proved wrong and nasty time and time again,...

Actually, relocating a bunch of folks would probably be counterproductive anyway, do to cultural differences. The best way is probably be to have some Hymer folks to set the expectations (with input...

I guess it depends on how they will look at quality. Putting in tracking, review, corrective action programs goes pretty well as they can be done kind of on their own. Where it gets dicey is when...

I think the indications of a new facility being built would give them a very good opportunity to start it off as a clean slate, new day, type of operation. The separate facility would allow the old...

This is some of the first financial information we have heard, and still not much, but they listed $96 million. Based on the Euro amount that must be US dollars.

An interesting comparison between...

I think a lot of it will be how many models they figure the can afford to have in the short, medium, long term. I would certainly think the Chevies will go away quickly now, as Hymer has no...

IMO, being acquired is way worse than being a contract manufacturer. If you are on contract, you have some leverage on things, and can always end it and get other business. If you are acquired, you...
