Skyline Layton MFGr shutdown?

Question

We've been casually looking at the 285BH Layton Javelin, and I noticed on a dealers website they are saying the manufacturer shut down.  I'm guessing this is true, anyone have confirmation? If I can find one on a lot I guess I could get a decent price but will be left holding the bag with no warranty correct?

No hint of that on their website. They've been owned by Evergreen for a couple of years now.Skyline RV Link

Yes, you are correct. With Evergreen out of business, you will have no factory warranty. I have heard that some dealers of Evergreen products may offer a very limited warranty of their own, or offer a warranty through some third party warranty company. Those warrantys are usually not worth the paper they are written on though.
I would look for a greatly reduced price on an "orphaned" RV, and handle repairs myself.
