It was hard to swallow the price difference looking at a website, to be completely honest. Once you meet the faces and shake the hands of those who are actually building the product, it's a no brainer!
I had originally considered a Chinese knock off, or the imported line that Springbar sells. I was set on the Family Camper, but liked the Skyliner. I traveled to their facility in SLC. Wow. After seeing and feeling the process im embarrassed I even considered "better value" imports. I walked out...
I have a wood stove and the big buddy. I camped in an area with an inversion layer bad enough that it smoked me out. Ran the big buddy from a bulk tank outside the tent. Worked like a charm. I also have a 5 dollar carbon monoxide detector for peace of mind.
