Several dealers have told me that Northwood Mfg. won't take on a dealer unless the dealer assures them that AF/Nash will be the dealers main brand. Most dealers won't do that, because they will sell more lower-end, light-weight, and cheaper units by other manufacturers.
Manufacturers are hung up on producing lots of "entry level" rvs for the young families with kids. It is always easier to sell something with a lower price than it is to sell higher quality, no matter what the product may be.
