There is nothing wrong with owning a quality orphan. With the right floorplan, if I was in the market I'd buy a Carriage, a Teton, an Alpenlite, a pre sale of Double Tree Mobile Suite in a heartbeat.
These are quality rigs, not just because of the builder, but because of the better components in them. Chances are those component makers are still in business, or another manufacturer can be found.
No, replacement panels cannot be had from a builder who does not exist, but try getting replacement panels, or any other unique part, from a builder after a couple of years when that model is no longer in production.
No builder, no dealer, no problem. There are ways of fixing anything.
If you really like your rig, we do ours, & it is an orphan, ours is, no matter. Keep it for the long haul, get to know it well, do your own mods & repairs & it will be much cheaper than flipping for something different every couple of years just because some minor thing is new & different.
