Last year on our two week trip to Teddy Roosevelt National Park we encountered seven teardrops, where we typically may see one or two. I had a long conversation with a man who was interested in switching from a much larger travel trailer to a tear, I told him of the TNTTT forum.
As for an EMS our Progressive Industries has saved us twice, that I know of!

Global demand of gun roving and other products has outstripped supply. Since the pandemic-produced economic slowdown of last April and May, North America has seen a sharp increase in consumer demand of boats, recreational vehicles, pools and spas along with increasing demand of other composites products. Many of these products use gun roving and that demand continues to escalate. In China, the demand for these fiberglass products is even stronger and no substantial capacity has been added to global fiberglass production over the past year. The multi-end roving plants globally that support North American composites producers are at capacity with no short-term ability to increase production and demand continues to increase.

G.M announced they will be all electric by 2018 ??? ( If memory serves me correct on the year.) That just isn't that far off !

I'll chalk it up to a typo, but wasn't 2018 about three years ago now...?

I saw an article about that recently too. I think it was out 10-15 years or so. 2030ish? Schmaybe...? Volvo had announced the same about a decade ago and as I recall their target at the time was 2020. There was a new gas 2021 XC70 for sale parked in front of Costco the other day so it appears they may have missed their goal by at least a few weeks...

I think it was in October that I checked my book sales and discovered that someone in Japan had bought 68.

Go figure. I've heard several companies are shipping new teardrops there.

This Turkish manufacturer is showing his off in Japan:

This week, someone on another forum reported contracting to purchase a Scamp trailer.
The waiting time is 18 months before they'll see it completed.
