Maybe I'm behind the times....but trying to google powergearus.com all I now get is Lippert/Powergear.

When did this happen? And...when trying to access information...I get page 404 cannot load....or something like that.

When did this happen?

LCI supports all products under their umbrella. The problem is, the knowledgable support people usually did not have their old jobs at LCI. So, you have to put up with LCI's lack of knowledge on the products they purchased. Doug

They also own Kwikee as Powergear had purchased it a few years before being bought out by LCI.

Not the same anywhere anymore. Quality from LCI may be okay but customer service does not exist.

Lippert Components acquired Power Gear/Kwikee in 2014. Lippert Components in turn was owned by Drew Industries until they officially changed their name to LCI Industries last year. As Doug said, LCI owns, perhaps not quite "everything", but certainly a huge chunk of the RV components business.
