Anyone have any info on these people. The rigs look good on their website. They are in Shipshawana and we have cabin fever so we are thinking of a factory tour.

They are top line for sure. Total custom rigs for big checkbooks. One at the Tampa show was sale priced at $190K Most are $250 and up. Need the lotto win for these! ha
We would love to tour when we are there. They cut no corners.
Enjoy!
Bill

Those trailers are built on a serious frame, just the frame with a coat of paint on it weighs 7,000lbs.
I took some pictures of one in Jan. look here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10200102506660138.1073741826.1074273493&typ e=1&comment_id=5108587&offset=0&total_comments=8#!/media/set/?set=a.4603869209461.171979.1074273493&type=3
I think they are well detailed, and well priced for that level of fit / finish.

Rick, I got the same error message as John when I clicked on the link. So I went to your blog, found your name and looked you up on Facebook.
Too many Canadian Rick/Richard L. of all different ages, so couldn't find U or the photos!

The link is a link to one of the albums on my Facebook page, so.....maybe if an individual has no facebook account at all, then they perhaps cannot view other folks stuff on facebook.
Sorry about that.....
Rick

Ok folks, I have loaded some of those Continental Coach pics onto my blog. Just clik on it in my signature.
Let me know if it works.

So, now we have a good idea of what another high end custom dealer has. Our biggest gripe, IF these are meant for fulltimers, then why do they only have R-7 insulation in the walls?
But it would definitely be worth a trip to take a factory tour...

We had a factory tour this last Friday. impressive frame and quality construction. I contacted them today regarding priceing out a 38 ft unit, equipted almost like our MS. porcelain tile through out rig 16 gal hot water tank, mor ryde suspension, trail air, big foot level system. If we decide to trade it will take 4 to 5 months for build.

John, do you have any idea what that 38' 5th. will weigh?
I know that the 1st thing I saw when I looked at one of their units was they were quite heavy compared to a DRV product.
You would most certainly have to look carefully at your prime-mover.
I am also quite interested in hearing the outcome of your quote.
Thanks,
Rick

Hey Rick,
I think the one in Tampa was a 40'?? had a GVWR of 33K. I think I would have to add the second tandems back on the Volvo for the pin on these beasts! ha I can tell ya it would be real close on a singled HDT with bed and Smart.... rear axle limit.
But, I did just see a TV ad and I think a Toyota could handle it nicely! :wink:
