Hello everyone,
I just noticed that TrailerLife published their annual Reader's Choice Awards on trailer/5thWheel RVs and related products:
http://www.trailerlife.com/rv-gear/2017-trailer-life-readers-choice-award-winners/
Very interesting and worth reading overall, but I found strange the complete absence of some brands that we've seen as highly regarded basically everywhere, some cases in point:
(a) Northwood with their legendary Arctic Fox in the 5thWheels section (instead, Keystone/GrandDesign/Forest River get Gold/Silver/Bronze awards instead -- I mean, GrandDesign is probably deserved and should even be Gold instead, but Forest River? Come on...)
(b) Andersen with their outstanding Ultimate hitches, in the 5thWheel Hitches category (it could be because they don't consider the Andersen a true "5thWheel hitch" due to its completely different working principles ie no jaws etc, but IMO that would have been very short-sighted of them).
(c) EezRV/EezTire doesn't get any mention under the Tire-Pressure Monitoring Systems category.
Other categories were more as expected, like the Hondas being #1 and the Champions #2 in the RV generators category, and Ford/GM/Ram on the towing vehicles category.
I wonder if those awards are entirely honest, or whether there's any "rigging" going on here.
What do you people think?
Cheers,
