Looks like Redwood is bringing back Carriage

I knew that THOR purchased the rights to the Carriage name at the Carriage auction after the closure of Carriage as we know it today. Well, it looks offical that Redwood is going to reintroduce the Carriage line. This should be interesting. Lets hope that they make it on a real frame and of some real construction and quality like that of the former Carriage line. Phillip

    Thor just bought the name. It will never be the same.


    Yeah, YOU and I know that! LOL Phillip

    Thor has a formula throughout their various brands for building pretty RV's with low internal quality that is profitable for them. So I would doubt that they will match the previous Carriage quality.

    Note: As I recall Thor only bought the name, not the intellectual property! Time will tell "what's in a name"? I think it will be a rebranded Thor product in MHO! BMW did the same thing, bought Rolls name not the Rolls Company!
