Good Luck!

I think your going to have a very tough road to hoe.

The truck conversion industry is pretty well covered right now with manufacturers.

You got guys that are building lower cost units such as Powerhouse Conversions, Transport Designs and Butler who are using predominantly used chassis's, less frills and are perfect for the racer on a limited budget.

You have the middle of the road guys that are pumping out the majority of the rigs, Show Hauler, Haulmark, NRC, Trendsetter, Renegade and Optima.

High end guys such as Kingsley, Dynamax & Power House Coach.

Innovators such as Wildside.

Not sure where you'll fit in. To be honest looking at the classifieds, the market is starting to get pretty saturated. I am seeing more rigs forsale than I have ever seen and alot of them are sitting on the market for a much longer time.
