Buying an "Orphan"?
We have been looking for small, around 20', travel trailer and came across one we like, the Evergreen I-Go. When I tried to google the company, I found they went out of business, how sad for the work...

If you are any kind of a DIYer, then an orphan RV is a non issue, as 99% of what's found in and on all RVs are common across the board.
A complete fallacy ... ask the owner of a Coleman / Fleetwood folding trailer (of which there are still hundreds of thousands) about getting parts to repair their trailers which were orphaned when the company went out of business in 2011 and you'll get an earful. :E Simply put, there's very little left, even Beckley's Camping Center which purchased most of the remaining stock at the time of bankruptcy is running low. Buy one of these Coleman / Fleetwood folding trailers and you'd better darn well hope you don't ever need parts for it. :R Want a tank cover for your R-Vision trailer that is molded to match the trailer's front wall profile? ... good luck with that, start searching the wreckers. :W No thanks, I'll hedge my bets and stick with a non-orphan. :)
