Welcome to our forum.
So are you going to tell us who those manufacturers are....
Your friend says there might be 8-10 out there that are worthy, but there are only 4-5 that get a lot of press here.....why the discrepancy?
oh for I think for the most part you know who they are....perhaps a surprise here or there but I think most know the core list.....I am not trying to promote any maker with the post but just a general observation ....
So who would be the surprises?
I'll give you two Hydropool and Nordic....this is from someone who has been involved with many makers and was speaking about company's who simply do a good job of putting out a products that are of good quality and also who have the staying power to stand behind them after they are sold...he was impressed with Hyrdopool commitment to its dealers which filters down the end user (customer) and Nordic for their value...of course most of the better known names.....Watkins and their lines, Sundance/jacuzzi, Marquis, Coleman. D-1..I am leaving off one or two others but it was just conversation....
