Maybe. They bought Utilimaster in Wakarusa, about 10 miles north of Nappanee. They're supposed to move RV chassis manufacturing there, and the speculation was that they would also move RV service there. Last I knew, neither of those have happened yet.

Last I heard chassis mfg was moving closer to Newmar but Spartan was undecided on relocating customer service. My bet is they WILL relocate customer service too.

Move from Charlotte! What heresy! There is so much for an owner to see and do, while their coach is being serviced. What will the Charlotte tourist industry do without the RV owners? Will Eaton's survive?

E-plex is dead except for one boat dealer. It was sold to overseas company in the UK. Call Newmar parts and ask how much backup parts they have. If E-plex goes dead, coach is dead. I bought last tank sensor late last year from Coachlite and they sold it to me for $678. Newmar parts gave me a price of $1200. When part came it had a shelf price sticker of $97. Now you know why they have Silverleaf. E-plex is good when working but how many have had trouble with room sensors? Why won't they share the E-Logic software to program it? HA I got it ,but not from them.

E-plex started on the '06 Essex and ended on the 2011.
