RE: [VAL] RE: Nightmare at Inland RV

...Only after enough people do that will Airstream wake up and break Inland
RV's monopoly on Henschen replacement axles.
----------------------------
It was my impression that Henschen axles can be purchased from any Airstream
dealer.

It was also my impression that Henschen sells to many other businesses
(perhaps even private individuals) in addition to InlandRV.  The problem is
that Henschen has no idea of which of their products fits a '67 Airstream
Overlander.  They sell product based on length, width, capacity etc. data.
Andy took the time to match specs with trailers in order to sell product.

For Airstream Inc. to "break InlandRV's monopoly" would require them to
educate their dealers to make up for Andy being shut down.  Since I do not
think Airstream Inc. cares that much about their vintage products, I doubt
they will do much about Andy.
