    As much as I feel bad for the employees these things happen.

    This is the way most companies close. There are reasons that employees are not allowed to enter the building. You never know how anyone will react to bad news. The safety of the employees has to be considered.


    Not true, even a sudden closing, the correct method is to arrange to escort employees to get any personal property in the building.

    Yep, pretty disgraceful. Could have been handled better rather than wait until folks show up for a new work day.
  • according to the link, at least this time, they aren't stiffing their owners and dealers .... when Monaco went out last time, they walked away from any responsibility to honor their warranties

  • That is too bad for the employees.

    Our TT was made by Monaco for a Canadian Firm. We really like it. When we have had issues with our TT I just called them in Elkhart, even though our trailer was made in Oregan. They helped us even after the year warranty. I am sad to see them go.
