I would totally agree Bill. If the class has the plans then folks could use a more local trailer manufacturer as well which would be awesome. That was one of the big things for me considering having Trail-rite build a trailer was having to drive from Hood River all the way Santa Ana (probably an 18-20 hr drive) and then having to pay CA sales tax on top of that LOL.
