Good Survey.  I took the easy way out when I bought my camper.  I was very extravagant and bought myself a Woolrich Edition Hawk. It's fantastic!  The only two options available were built in cassette toilet and rear roof steps...which I got.  Looking forward to all the results.

It's an interesting question.  I am just wondering why you didn't say a little bit more about who you are, and why you are asking the question.  Just curious.

Craig thanks for the response. I added a few of those things. I idea is just to get a big picture on campers.

 

Ram is its own brand now, hence why I added it.

 

Again thanks for the response!

Chris, I am just curious about the market and what campers models are most popular and most options purchased. Apparently I'm also a partial nerd since I want to look at this data. hahaha

Easy to take survey!  Had my Granby for 12 years and had lot's of fun(?) modifying it and bantering back and forth on the WTW site!  As an old backpacker/truck camper learning to use it was a trip-I mean, that first rainy, cold,nasty  morning I woke up in it, turned on the burner to heat up my coffee water and then enjoyed that first cup-then got dressed, I knew I had made the right decision in buying it :wub: !

Agree Smoke, after 43 years of backpacking and mountaineering, room to move around, standing up to dress, not sleeping on and getting up off the ground, cooking in a howling storm, lights, heat, refrigerator, more stuff than I can carry, ice cream sammiches = LUXURY.

 

Since I stripped and built out the interior of 'This Old Grandby' I called it a shell 'cuz I didn't use anything out of the original interior.  For options I checked the ones I consider needs; I again would get a shell and do the interior build myself.
