Jeff, well said. You get what you pay for. USAF always went low bid, and sometimes they got junk. The Oshkosh's were the exception. The folks in WI always seemed to make quality vehicles.
We had a Pierce Dash as our first custom rig, and liked it a lot. Then bought two Sabres, had a lot of trouble getting Pierce to addess warranty issues. We now have two Central States quints, three CS engines, one more CS engine on order. Guess everyone has different experiences with apparatus manufacturers!
