Winnebago 1780 - copying the original

Yes it's "reminiscent" of almost every small trailer built in the 50's and 60's. LOL

I assume you, A) sell these, B) can't find a users group for Winnebago products to hang out in.

   I looked at the Winnie Drops at a local dealer and they are well built, I am thinking Winnebago is going to lose the law suit against them and there will be some good prices for discontinued Winnie Drops. Perhaps a good time to buy a camper.

My vote goes to FR as well.  For those who would purchase the Winnie Drop, they would be getting a one of a kind since there wouldn't be that many produced.  And if something did go wrong with the unit, they could go to the Forest River dealer and replace their defective parts with one that fits on the R-Pod since they are nearly identical anyway.

The name of the FR General Manager caught my attention, almost identical to my full name.

LOL.. I LOVE it when people quote or link to STE, regardless of the reason.. you know he is an industry shill and works at a dealership, right? A dealership that of course, doesn't sell pods but does sell.. that's right, drops.

He also is no longer a small trailer enthusiast, having sold his Scotty and bought some behemoth.

And frivolous this lawsuit isn't, the trailers are EXACT copies.. hell, they even used the same letters in the name.

A Camaro is a lot like a Mustang, but you can't just unscrew and replace parts between them. I have been in a 178, and 1780. Exact copy. And please don't let that bit of prior case law get in the way of guessing who will win.. just run down to your local dealer and pick up a new Heartland MPG.. Oh wait..
