Incredible Hitchhikers!

[Juju]

We made our first long trip from Michigan to Florida this past week. We started out Mon. Jan. 11th and had clear roads but bitter temps. Mon. night, we pulled into a campground in Berea, KY with the temps already mid 20's and started working to bring the inside temp in the rig up. In a short time, with the furnace and a couple space heaters, we were coat and hatless, and in a couple hours, we had a comfortable upper 60's in the rig. We used an electric blanket that night and stayed nice and warm all night in spite of an overnight low in the low 20's. We were thrilled. Our last rig was never that warm in extreme cold and had a leaky cold air feel. The HH II was so impressive, we were warm, no drafts, and slept like babies. The following night in GA was about the same. We are now in Florida, in a Thousand Trail park near Wauchula, and are having a great time enjoying the new rig at last!

 I continue to suggest that when one adds up all the "intangible" features of a HitchHiker that the added $5000 to $10,000 of initial purchase expense over mass produced brands might just be a bargain.  How important is it that NuWa is willing to hear your requests for use of more expensive and reliable components and materials?   How valuable is a positive "user experience" such as is described here?   What value does the philosophy of "substance over superficial" have to an owner?  How much money is saved over the life of the trailer, by being able to access NuWa's more affordable and hopefully more reliable service and staff, who are willing to help you identify and correct a deficiency or maintenance issue without necessarily having to utilize $110 per hour dealer labor?   What is exceptional warranty support worth?  And if resale value is greater (it is), then some of that initial investment premium is returned at some point.   The HitchHiker is not for everyone, both because we tend to be a little more practical and conservative in nature and because we don't fit everyone's budget, but for those baby boomers and retirees who seek a functional and superior performing trailer, I believe the philosophy of NuWa staff and the products they provide will continue to be recognized by many RV'ers as a wiser investment.   My goal is to continue leading NuWa down the path of "design by detail" for the enjoyment of our customers.   Sorry, I turned my question into a sales pitch; but more and more I am realizing that the HitchHiker may be to some extent a bargain rather than just a more expensive and hopefully better investment choice.    MIKE

We dry camped for six days a couple weeks before Christmas, during our cold snap. Night temps in the high teens to low 20s. Days barely approaching freezing, with a significant warmup to the upper 30s the last 36 hours. We used the propane almost exclusively, went through several tanks, but were always comfortable inside.

Glad to hear your cold weather experience was a good one.

Mike, please feel free to quote me, we had a mid price fiver before and had mostly good experiences, but the HH II far exceeded our previous experiences staying warm in cold weather. Thanks for making a product that helped us upper midwesterners travel to somewhere warmer for the winter.
