An orphan with no warranty wouldn't be a "steal" in my book. :R Just because the manufacturer has gone out of business doesn't mean any dealer is automatically going to give away stock he paid full price for.

if you can get some type of warranty from the dealer and all of the components would be covered the same as if the mfr. of the RV was still in business.
Pigs may fly. :W At best, one might be offered a 30 day guarantee, no different than what might be offered on a used trailer.
I would guess that half of the RVs out there are from defunct manufacturers.
Possibly that's true, especially considering the recession of 2008 which saw quite a few manufacturers disappear from the landscape. However, that doesn't mean anywhere near that many that are now orphans were orphans at the time of initial purchase.
but I said "MIGHT". wouldn't be the first time that something was cleared out at less than cost. and NO it wouldn't be 'automatic" but if you waved enough bucks in the dealer's face????????
Since you're so confident that buying an orphan is such a great opportunity why don't you put your own $$$$$ on the table ... just tell us later how that went. :W
