Pandemic hit Everyone and parts issues are universal. The company sold nationwide so shutdown in their state was not the cause.
They did not sell 'nationwide'. They sold and distributed only from their factory in CA.
It is called "factory direct " and they sold to anyone nation wide.
What was their market share? 0.0005%? A company supplying a niche market is tough to keep going no matter how good of a product they pump out. Economics of scale. Even more so with the economic road we are being pushed down at present.
How would they even be able to get chassis's? Anyone think Ford is not selling what if anything that is available to the highest bidder? Thor and FR would win that contest.
It's not always "Highest Bidder" but how a supplier allocates product during times of shortage. Yes, the lowest volume customers are the ones that often get little or nothing from the suppliers during these times and hard to sustain enough cash flow when you can't get basic components.
A lot of companies closed their doors during the pandemic but for many Covid shutdowns and supply issues were just the final straw.
FWIW, a lot of federal assistance money was made available for businesses in order to help weather the storm. Probably wasn't enough to help those that were struggling before Covid.
