Trouble at Hymer?
Hymer problems It looks like Thor dodged a bullet as Hymer discloses "problems". It's never a good sign when forensic accountants get involved.

The Hymer family wants out of the RV business and sold their flagship operation in Europe. I think it is a very safe assumption that they have less than zero interest in pumping tons of cash to run a business in Canada that would be unable to use their name brand, which is now owned by Thor.
That's probably right, but my thought was that Hymer might seek to maintain control post-bankruptcy to reestablish the Roadtrek value to avoid taking a big loss if no suitable buyer came forward now. They'd be betting they could do a short-term turnaround, and get a better deal, but that may be overly optimistic. Without knowing the details of the current problems (seems pretty bad) it's difficult to say whether anyone is going to be interested in acquiring the company.
Obviously, everything is in flux, but not maintaining even a barebones website (with manuals & specifications), or posting any explanation for taking down the site, suggests that resuming operations are not the current focus. Sad.
