Our Rig
Our 2004 HitchHiker II LS has had multiple problems, enough to fill 3 pages single space, but our dealer was proficient in fixing most of the problems. (The dealer RV Tech told me the factory used a bad batch of caluking that year - and it's true on my rig). We are still fixing stuff even after the warranty ran out, but such is life as a full time RV'er. If Honda made RV's (please Honda, please please please consider making RV's!!!) we wouldn't have nearly as much warranty work. But alas this was made in Kansas and, well.... - it's CRAP! But so are all the other US RV's on the market. With all the problems, it's also home. Anyone have a similar perspective?

Hi Jim:
I can only say US minivans are largely garbage, not even lasting 10 years, while my Kentucky-made Honda Civic has run problem-free for a decade. So it sure isn't some deficiency in US labor...
Good to see you in thre blogosphere--

Jim - I see that you are pulling with an 'older' Ford. My newer Ford Super duty (1999), with a trailer package, and maybe yours, (I don't know) has the relays and fuses to isolate the trailer from the truck wiring. Similar to the Ford chassis 'problem'.
Not snobbin' just informing. After all, you have a blogsite and I don't. Nice job by the way.
