Jeff comments on his HHII purchasing decision

We felt visitors to www.nuwa.com would be interested in the following comments, which were used with permission of the NuWa_RV Yahoo! Group member. June 1, 2006 Mike, I don't get to leave messages much on this forum because my wife and I are constantly traveling. We have the 2005 29.5 LKTG HH2. One thing we notice when we meet others in the RV parks, the first comment out of their mouth is that HitchHiker is a quality 5er. A good many of the people then go into their dissatisfaction with the brand that they have. When we press them into disclosing why they don't buy a HitchHiker they usually mention that price is the obstacle. For us, it is better to pay a little more and not have problems than to complain. We plan on keeping ours for a long time. Rather than trade every couple of years we are making improvements to ours. As time goes on, we realize that there were some options that we would now like, so we have been stopping by the factory and getting improvements each year. Last year you put on the Demco pin box. This year you will add electric stabilizer jacks, shade screen over the outside back window, ceramic toilet, and add additional doors over the microwave. We also have added improvements to the suspension at Morryde. Last year they put on the IS suspension, and this year it will be the disc brakes. While in Elkhart we are going to add the Big Foot Leveling System. We feel that the 29.5 LKTG is the perfect floor plan for us. It has a very live-able plan while it is short enough for easier maneuvering. We do get a little jealous when we hear you talk about dishwashing machines. So I think that the HH is widely recognized as a quality 5er. When we drive down the road we are always looking at the RV dealers on the side of the freeway to see if they sell HitchHiker. To me, it just seems that you need more dealers. So many people seem to just want to go to their local dealer and pick one off the lot. When I was planning my retirement I spent a considerable amount of time researching what RV we were going to buy. I am a Civil Engineer and us engineers just love to plan. I determined that if we were going to buy a fifth wheel it would be HitchHiker. We ended up with the 29.5 based on liveability, cost, and length. I didn't mention quality because that was factored in when I say I would only buy a HitchHiker and that was one of the prime reasons for putting it on my list of one brand. We now have pulled the HH more than 32,000 miles and it is still like we are in a dream. We just love it to death. ...Jeff... Here is a link to the original post (signup required).
