Lifestyle RV

I own a Lifestyle 5th wheel. Evergreen RVs made the Lifestyle until June of 2016 when they shut the doors and went out of business. Today I talked to another Lifestyle owner who said that he heard that Thor Industries had bought Lifestyle. I got on the Thor website but there is no mention of them owning Lifestyle. Does anyone know if Lifestyle RVs are being made again? I found some 2017 Lifestyle floor plans on a website but there is no mention of who the manufacture is.

    RVs may be named by Thor as "Lifstyle" but they will be Thors of one division or another.

    I heard that rumor some time ago but have read nothing of the sort on the active owners forum. The 2016 models had already dropped the in-house built box frame so I'm sure if Thor brings back the name/product that it will be another of their multi-badged, made-a-like units.
    Thor purchased the Carriage/Cameo names at auction and started production of Cameo and Carriage models. Neither was built anything like the former and now Thor no longer builds the Carriage.

    If this guy says it is not accurate you can take it to the bank and I can assure you he knows.
