A lot of RV manufactures got knocked out during the recession. One bought another just to get bought out itself when it too could not survive.
I recall during that time, there were two forum members who purchased Forest River class C motor homes. They were complaining over poor construction because when they opened a hanging cabinet door, they had sunlight beaming in from the outside, through a gap in the seam where the roof connected to the wall. The warranty solution was "caulk".
I know one independent RV company survived through the recession by attending RV factory liquidation auctions. Phoenix USA bought at auction, a yard full of Sprinter diesel chassis, I think at a shut down Monaco plant, and then offered them for the same price as the E350 for a savings of around $12,000. That was a huge hit which helped the company get through those hard times. I think the chassis were one & two years older than the PC model year which was advertised so.
Even as late as last year they got hold of some E350s with V8 engines in the same manner and offered deep discounts. Independently owned and operated companies have more freedom to do that.
Many RV manufactures fell just like Pontiac, Saturn, Hummer, and Mercury. thanks to "The Great Recession".
