I think what it really is about is buying out the competition, so they are no longer competing. Long term expect to see a single product line with different badging and slightly different features and paint - just like what we have seen with GM in the 80s and 90s.

The original Monaco was doing the very same thing with the Monacos, HRs, and Safaris. Monaco basically used the same unit and slightly changed the front and rear caps on each brand.

Its much like the airline business. Consolidation in a shrinking industry. A larger piece of a smaller pie. Fewer choices for the consumer. Lets face it, fewer and fewer folks are getting fat retirement benefits, and those of our generation that did are gradually dying off. I don't see the average retiree of the next generations having the same disposable income. Most government projections are showing the average American poorly prepared for retirement with many having to work until they drop. And who buys the biggest share of MHs? Not young people! There will always be a market but the glory days for the MH industry are in the past. Just my opinion, and I'm sticking to it! :)
