I had a '70's model that was built in Fort Lupton, CO. Of the half-dozen I've owned, that was the least well built. I now have owned the 10' non-co, built in WA, I have on a trailer, for about 17 years. Spent hundreds of nights in it, and towed it down thousands of miles of ugly two-tracks. Getting near 45 years old, and everything still works, though I did a complete rebuild on the upper half several years ago. It will be one of the last things I sell, as my outdoor life comes to a close...hopefully when I'm 90...LOL
