 Never used the floor pan either, and never heard of anyone else having trouble with it either.  Never like deadlines to have to pay in the future cause I never know what the future holds. I like to feel I'm free and not beholden to nobody.

I’d like to have several of each on the property, but I’m not going to deal with the county seat and their taxes. Typical shining example of government, run out of money the solution is never to tighten the ole belt, it’s always reach into more peoples pockets with their sticky fingers.

Ooooh Marty but if you only had a clue as to how the company can control you once you sign then you certainly wouldn't be up for it, yea Shepard boy, we know, you never heard of any issues with it did you!

They offer floor planning to give their dealers more options. We haven't used it either and to the best of my knowledge, Slim, they've never forced anyone to sign up.

I certainly never said they forced anybody but they sure did push it at the dealer meeting and wanted me to push it as a rep. Don't get me wrong, floor planning can be a good thing for both the dealer and the manufacturer. It puts the product out into the market where it can be sold but there must be safeguards on both sides, for example as happened with me, I have several units here that are from the  defunct batch that I am on the hook for, Northpoint will not force HeatMaster to take them back and until Friday evening I did not want to sell them, now they have ticked me off with their delays and I think I'll have a fire sale, please come to see us at the Bangor Loggers expo on May 19-20! When they are gone, they are gone.

Ok, I received another call from Jake today, it appears that we may have reached an agreement, if so then this will be my last post regarding HeatMaster, I'm sure there are a few of you that will be happy about that and I'll say that I never meant to harm any of you but I will always fight to protect my honor and my interests, I'm glad that I received the call!
