I heard that CC is trying to go get back in the RV business in 2016? Anyone have any updated info on this?

As noted in other threads: Winnebago has purchased the Country Coach production facility in Junction City, OR.

The full story, as published in a Winnebago Press Release in RV Daily Report, is linked below.

In a nutshell, Winnebago is moving their Class-A diesel manufacturing to the former Country Coach plant in Junction City, OR.

They (Winnebago) have also purchased property adjacent to the 200,000 sq ft manufacturing facility that they plan to use as a service facility for both Winnebago AND Country Coach motorhomes. They did this largely because they could not keep up with production demands for gas Class-A's in Forest City, Iowa and needed to move diesel production elsewhere.

For the most part, I guess this puts to rest rumors that I read in this forum, as recently as yesterday and in questions posted in this thread, regarding the resumption of Country Coach production.

However, there is this little tidbit. They have noted, "“As part of the facility purchase, Winnebago also acquired the intellectual property rights associated with Country Coach and we intend to revive that brand as part of the planned use of the new facility.” Whether that means new Country Coach branded motorhomes or more than likely something like a Country Coach model line within Winnebago remains to be seen.
