katkens said:snuffy, well said and I too could not believe a CEO would write what he did and not think it would not get out. I found this post on my previous trailers forum , so guess it will make the rounds to others also.....Ken
katkens said:Snuffy don't know who runs the forum over there either. I still can not believe one thinks Heartland is selling trailers for cost of materials. I can see the floorplan stuff but how many new plans can a commpany come up with that has not already been built. I think there sales must be off and he has to vent somewhere.
snuffy said:Precisely.
fishn2dmax said:There is no question NuWa makes Great coaches! What I don't understand is a CEO that would publicly whine to his own customers about others manufacturers stealing their designs? Moreover, to imply that the industry suppliers are lowering their quality standards to meet price pressures is nothing new. Hello... Duhhhhh? Name one industry where suppliers are not being pressured on price points? As far as copying floorfplans , well....take any ten 5th wheel manufacturers, look at the floorplans for equiv levels ( entry, mid and full time) and you'll see the majority of them all have similar or exact floorplans - There is just so much variation that can be done in such a small space.
I just don't understand why a company with a solid reputation like NuWa would have such a loose cannon as a CEO? As a "CEO" he should be focused on the merits and value of his product offerings and less worried about trashing Heartland ( and other) competitors. In his diatribe of Heartland, he served to validate his own insecurity and lack of confidence in his own company to compete in an increasinly tough market. If I was one of the NuWa company shareholders and / or investors, I would not be a happy camper with such reckless claims and lack of confidence coming from the "CEO".

Just wanted to drop a quick note here to say that I am pleased with the civility displayed in this thread. I plan to leave the thread open so long as it remains civil. I find the thread here and on the NuWa site, very interesting.
At the end of the day, we here are RVers, not manufacturers. And out there in the campgrounds, RVers treat each other in a friendly manner, no matter what brand they own. We can continue to do the same online.
Thank you in advance for treating our friends coming over here from the NuWa forum with respect. Many of them are registering and reading in silence. Some of them may elect to post and that is just fine.
Thanks,
Jim
