Enjoy, Chris
Thanks for the offer,
What do you manufacture for the RV industry?
Seems we are always asking about new methods and materials.
I myself have been involved with millwork and store fixture manufacturing for 35 years, so a lot of that knowledge and skill set are whats behind launching Dream-Inn Coachworks.
In my opinion, One of the key reasons to make a prototype is to explore market potential, discover manufacturing methods and evaluate the engineering side of the design. So far,It tows like a breeze and we are just beginning to evaluate function in the field.
Although more than a year was spent in research and design ,the prototype was made in less than 30 manufacturing days and that will get streamlined with a limited production quantity. Even with improvements, the labor requirements of a benchmade product will still be demanding.
Therefore,with the standard of workmanship , attention to detail, unique design theme and materials we use, Dream-Inn Coachworks will most likely only be available to those looking for the Best and knowing that lasting quality comes with a higher price.
We think there is a market for those of whom want a list of specs with such things as Aluminum composite exterior panels,high pressure applied poly-urea coatings, Vertical Grain Teak wood veneered cabins, 21 gal fresh water and a 8" custom 100% latex mattress.
That has always been the foundation for our millwork manufacturing and think the small size trailer market needs such a product.
If we didn't , we could easily follow the footsteps of those other manufacturers or the many available designs for easy builds.

I would suggest you get out there with your proto type for a couple of years, attending as many Gatherings as you can, in as many "different " regions before you jump into business.
