I heard they might start up production again.  Who knows?Huh  It would be great if it were true, with all of the other manufacturers going out of business it could be a good opportunity.

Mike's post today that there are 15 units on display IN the factory would likely preclude the building/assembly of anything in the very near future.  But, we can hope.

If you get those 15 sold there will be room to build 15 more. Just have to put in a request for the model you want. Might work, give it a try and see what happens.  Richard

NuWa is developing a new business model and will be back in production in June.  There, you heard it from the "horse's mouth".

 Do me several favors, while I continue to put this plan into action.  First of all let the world know when you have the opportunity.  There are a lot of folks out there who had given up on buying a Hitchhiker, that I have no way of reaching.  They need to hear they now have the choice of a HitchHiker.   And continue to help the NuWa forum grow, as I hope to use it as a major communication tool for prospective HitchHiker buyers as well as owners.  People who visit your forum slowly realize just how different NuWa's relationship with customers is.  And it's a powerful marketing tool that I can not duplicate using any other media. 

And two, if you were thinking about buying a unit from a dealer's lot or from the factory's inventory, don't hesitate to do so.  These units are bargains, because NuWa and dealers are still discounting them as if we were going out of business.  That won't be the case, when 2010 models are available.  2010 models will be nearly identical to 2009 models.  No changes planned.  Not all models will be available.   2007/2008 models are significantly less than 2009 or 2010 models, because they were priced/built before the major inflation that happened during 2008 calendar year.  Once 2010 units are priced the reality of the value of 2007/2008/2009 models will be recognized.   That said, the first 2010 models are not expected to increase in price over 2009 models.

And thirdly, be patient.  I am working to develop a business plan that will be respectful and beneficial to all parties; i.e. NuWa, dealer/partners and our mutual customers.   I will announce and explain this concept at a later time.   MIKE

Wow Mike that's great news as we're a few years away from upgrading our Titanium, but I was totally bummed out with the thought that I would never get the opurtunity to get a HH. grin

Mike,
Thank You  Cool
I am continually impressed with your willingness to communicate and be helpful to us NuWa owners after the sale.
It will be awhile down the road before we need to replace our '08 but we are happy NuWa will be there for us when the time comes.
We will definitely be singing praises for HitchHiker.

YES!  This is GREAT news as we have been totally impressed with the quality of the Hitchhiker we bought not too long ago and have been hoping you would be resuming production so that we would be able to upgrade and travel full-time! cheesy  We'll be anxiously awaiting news on which models will be built in 2010. 
Thanks!!  Paul
