Jayco sold to Thor Industries

[aclay]

It's on their Facebook page...

Not good for the RV industry. I've owned both, and Jayco had higher quality. I won't buy another Thor product.

This does not affect the Australian Jayco, a separate Company. Still bad news for US Jayco buyers

Given the stated selling price I believe the the family can find a better investment than the current RV industry.

I doubt there will be little change in the production lines in the short term, there really is not variation between all the models and manufacturers we saw at the last RV show.

We wish them well.

Not sure why folks would get their panties in a wad over Thor purchasing Jayco. I've had several RVs in the Thor family and they've all been just fine. Besides, when this kind of purchase happens almost nothing changes on the assembly line. Supply chain, distribution and management sure but most of the time the factories just roll on like before. Much ado about nothing in my opinion.

RV Pro Magazine says they will control 47% of US RV market now.

Is Airstream low quality? Owned by Thor.
Is KZ low quality? Owned by Thor.
Is Heartland low quality? Owned by Thor.
Is Dutchmen low quality? Owned by Thor.
Is Damon low quality? Owned by Thor.
And heaven help. Is DRV low quality? You guessed it. Part of Thor family.
And a few others in the family.

Kinda narrows down your choices doesn't it.

yeah, fixed "to". but still sad!

Our new 2017 Jayco will likely be our last travel trailer so I'll not suffer the decline. I hope the brand continues to offer the reasonable quality for the price we've come to know.

Jayco sold Thor Industries

I didn't know Jayco owned Thor Industries. :?

OK, now I see that the wording in the TOPIC has been changed. The sale was the opposite. :@

I am also sorry to see this happen; I like diversity in the marketplace. My 2013 will hopefully last me a while so I shouldn't be directly impacted.
