Hard to believe the coachmen and wildwood xlite are both Forrest river products ...

Why? The Catalina is a Coachmen RV product, built alongside Freedom Express and Apex trailers, with no relationship to any other Forest River products which are manufactured by other different companies under the FR umbrella which is owned by Warren Buffet. Coachmen RV is it's own entity and makes it's own decisions regarding product lines offered and processes used to manufacture those products.

Actually, Coachmen was bought by Forest River in 2012 IIRC. While it maintains it's own identity, it is and does now fall under the FR umbrella.
Exactly what I just said. :R Coachmen RV is a separately run company under the FR umbrella, has it's own management, makes it's own decisions. Products it manufactures have nothing to do with products from other FR companies. And FWIW, Coachmen became part of the Forest River group of companies in Dec 2008.
