Forest River is owned by Berkshire Hathaway--Warren Buffet's huge investment firm. $5 million is a pittance to them. But what's scary is the government getting into the RV business.
The Feds should be more concerned with tire and brake failures currently going on with RV's. And General Motors' defective ignition switch deaths is up to 147 deaths, and I don't see the National Transportation bunch forcing them to ground those vehicles.

At the rate they are buying RV dealers they already have a huge impact on the business. It will only get stronger, like a Wal*Mart leverage thing.

Well, if CW starts giving away all the FR campers in their inventory just to get rid of them, let me know.
I'd take a Rockwood a-frame off their hands. You know...just as a favor to CW. ๐

I'm sure it won't bother Forest River. They have so many dealers losing one won't matter. and in truth. CW should be able to replace them pretty easily.
One dealer? That "one dealer" has over 100 sales locations 37 states. That's a lot of potential customer exposure to lose...
