I've noticed a few names in the last couple days. SnappyD is a salesperson and Dusty works for an RV manufacture. I'm an RV service tech and Motornoggin is an RV parts monkey.

That makes four of us. Anyone else work in the industry?

Well, technically I'm no longer in the trailer business. My company, National RV, sold our trailer division to Weekend Warrior last fall. Well maybe I am still in the towing industry since our motorhomes have hitches :)

We sell National. I've probably cussed you out a time or two without either one of us knowing it. :P

What line do you work on? What do you do?

I'm a supervisor of consumer marketing. I oversee all of our advertising, brochures and printed collateral, website, owners club publications, etc. I also assist some in dealer marketing, sales training, sales incentives and promotions, show and event production, etc. Its a full time job!

What dealer do you work at? Where is Hermiston OR? I've been up to Junction City a couple times to our Country Coach plant, and to Coburg on spy missions to the Monaco plant :)

I work for Russ Dean Family RV in Pasco, Washington. Country Coach is on the other side of the state.

My parents own Central Kentucky Trailers in Lexington, KY. I worked for Keifer Built trailers for a while, now I work here heading our sales and service staff. We carry about ten different lines of trailers. They were focused on the horse trailer market, but I decided to open it up to motorsports as well.

We see all sorts of trailers in our service area all the time and I like to study them to see how they're built, what's working, what's not. We do hitches, air bags, pretty much anything from the front bumper of your truck to the rear of your trailer.

Don't forget Chaz Murray. Although the kind of trailers and towing he's into is just a tad overkill for most of us :)
