I just wonder what kind of business plan they have that keeps producing thousands and thousands of units. . . so many that I wonder how they can possibly market them all. We spent the summer in Elkhart and every empty lot around the county is filled with trailers and all manor of RVs. They just overly saturate the market. . . and knowing the quality they put forth, I wonder how many will be worthless after the sit the winter in that field. I just don't see how they can move that many units. Every RV dealer we pass by has a lot full of RVs. It's like they have no clue that the industry has cycles. . . they just keeping building, building, building, until things really slow down. Then they cry.

I to was in the RV mecca this summer and feel sorry for the workers there. The industry cares no more about them than us the consumer.
The rv industry is today`s "used car salesman".
Read, greedy and no respect for there audience.
