Hi Sector,
Just a small market share observation.

Every 2 weeks I travel from Houston to Shreveport to purchase used cars and trucks.The trip requires that I pass by Foretravel . Foretravel produces huge high quality Diesel pusher RV's.

As a service for customers they have an RV Park where owners visiting and/or having repairs and upgrades performed can stay.I've gone by many times and just learned about the hidden customer RV park.

The first time I drove thru (2 weeks ago)there was one radome with a brand I didn't make out or wasn't familiar with.

This last trip there were 6 radomes - 2 DAYTRON and 4 Trac Vision.This is a huge increase in radomes.

I suspect that even if RV sales slow KVHI's tracvision is becoming the next 3995 must have toy for the affluent.These RV's start at 250,000 and easily go to 500,000.Trac vision is quickly catching on as a must have gizmo in the pusher RV segment - Pushers are rear wheel drive, diesel, Buslike RV's. I've done this survey for years in Marina's and Trac phone or Trac vision have never caught on like Trac vision has in the RV business.

As I returned to my dealership on thursday ,just as I pulled off the freeway another Bus/RV pulled up next to me AND IT HAD A TRACVISION ON TOP!! Granted it was coincidence but I'm really thinking that Trac Vision is making huge gains in the RV industry. For years I've gone to boat and RV show's and asked salesman if they know of KVHI and they stare blanks at me.

The Times They Are A Changin!!! JMHO

So sing a little Dylon for me as we pop over 12!! HEHEHE
