Dutchmen Invitation

[eRVm]

I'm posting this message to let everyone know, Dutchmen has been contacted with an invitation to join our Group. Hopefully, they will accept the offer and allow one of their own to represent themselves here.

That'd be nice of them.
Fingers crossed!

Lets hope so. It would be good for everyone.

That would be great. Let's hope they do. It certainly gives them a chance to build their brand loyalty. Until a few months ago when I was an (SOB) there forum was great and the manufacturer was very involved.

This week I sent an e-mail to Dutchmen asking if my wife and I could represent the Owners Club at the Hershey Show. Surprisingly the Director of Marketing replied with a yes! He even asked for shirt sizes for my wife and I and is sending 1 overnight so we can have them for the show.

I have made fliers advertising the Owners Club to hand out. Hopefully we will be able to attract some new members. I'm not sure how many factory reps will be there but I am going to invite them also to join the forum.

Is there anything you would want me to pass on to the reps? Suggestions would really be nice since there doesn't seem to be a good way to pass those on. We will try to build relationships with owners both new and existing as well as the factory reps or whoever is there from Dutchmen. I do know that the Director of Marketing is not going to be in attendance.

Thanks for representing us.

I feel a little left out as a small TT owner with a 14ft. Dutchmen. Would like to see any feedback from the manufacturer, though.

Never feel that way!

Tell them they had better have thick skins and be ready to deal with the problems, when we can't get satisfaction from the dealers or the factory.

I have seen far to many posts on this board about lack of interest shown by the dealer once they have your money and the factory once you are out of warranty.

Hey there's no need for that.

I felt just as good about my old tent trailer back in the '70s, as any anybody that was dragging a 30' TT.

Take pride in your trailer no matter the size and enjoy it.

I spoke with Dutchmen tonight and I think it is happening. They are trying very hard to get into the Social Media world. This should help them as we'll as the end customers all of us.
