[font size="3"]Sean,

We're approaching 500 members. Do we then become an Uber Forum??

I think the forum becomes self-aware at that point.

Can you imagine what kind of quality trailers/campers LL could build if they surveyed all these owners on the many little things they cut cost on, like tires, delaminated cabinets, thermostats, and on and on! They seem to be doing will just promoting all aluminum construction but what if!?  What if a trailer manufacturer supplied a quality step for trailer entry knowing most of their customers are 60 plus years old etc. The list could go on and on; I think after a month I have finally purchased all the extra stuff I need for a trailer, the second sewer hose storage tube, tire covers, and sewer hose caps came in this afternoon. I purchased the Rhino sewer hose along with a 10 ft extension. The extension hose did not have caps! Why NOT!?

As a NEWB to travel trailers, has this forum put a list together of things to buy seeing that LL does not provide some standard equipment that other manufacturers provide?

Most people are surprised that there aren't any drawers, but that's a design decision and can easily be adapted to.

They're all discussed in various posts on this forum:

Options to include and customizations to request when ordering/buying your camper.

Things to check when picking up your camper.

Mods to make and things to buy after you've tried out your camper.

You're suggesting the singularity occurs at 500 members?? It becomes self reproducing??  [attachment id="830" thumbnail="1"]
