Leisure Time RV Closing

I believe they were closing at the end of the month. The Techs are always hirable and most I spoke with had something lined up. The real problem that I see, what RT Dealer will take over the parts procurement from Roadtrek that Leisure TIme was famous for. I mentioned, I just picked up a new '15 210P from them in October, but didn't hear anything concerning this closing. When I spoke with the Salesman and others, I would have thought things would have been booming, but they said quite the contrary...people were coming in and wanted to buy, but their credit was not strong enough to handle the deal. Another thing that I heard is a problem is more people are shopping thru the internet....didn't say anything, but that is how I bought my '05 thru RVDirect - and got a super deal. This time I searched RT Dealers for the one I wanted, made contact and Leisure TIme took my offer and I showed up about 10 days later. It also looks like we are going to see more Mega-Dealers and the little guys can't compete. Ron

Sorry to hear that this closing may be a problem for nearby RV folks. Hopefully a good, experienced staff will find other jobs in the Orlando area in the same industry.

It's surprising though to hear the economy as a reason for any RV business, especially in Florida, to be closing at this point. There's another post today about how strong national RV sales are, and some buyers are quoted as saying strong economy influenced their decision to buy.

In Florida, the economy seems to be booming... unemployment is way down, and annual job growth has been better than the U.S. job growth for almost four years.

Wow!
That is really not a good sign.
Was there any previous indication this might be in the works.
I hate to see long term companies close, we lose so much information and technology history.

Do you know what the closing date is?
