Conversion brand

It looks like I am down to NRC and Showhauler. I like the outer covering being of metal vs fiberglass. I am liking the Volvo over the Freightliner cascadia. Both good but I think the Volvo offers better looks and the i shift transmission seems better. Does anyone know of any NRC dealers that stock any new or are them special order only. All comments are welcome!!!

Come on guys, lets help this newby spent some dough.
Personally I don't think you would go wrong with either manufacturer.
Go interview these two builders and pull the trigger.

why not contact NRC for their list of dealers and inventory?

I'm a freightliner fan, but I don't blame you for picking the Volvo over the Cascadia. I test "rode" in an almost new Cascadia and it was the noisiest rig I had encountered.

I agree that you should speak to both builders at length and tour their facilities, if practical. If I was going to buy new, I'd look for the manufacturer that was going to treat me like family. A good local dealer would be a plus, but not a deal maker for me.

It is funny, given so few choices in used rigs, I did not attempt to weigh the differences between the two. I figured that all of the builders had such good reputations that either material had its merits.

That aluminum sheathing has to be tough, but I guess if you damage it you have to replace a whole section to make it look right. Being a boat guy, I know a couple good glass shops that could spot patch up my Renegade...I think.
