Unhappy How Quickly Things are Changing in RV Industry

DW and I watched 'RV 2009' on HGTV last evening (maybe a re-run but first time we had seen it). It was filmed at the Hershey RV show so I guess that was last year.

Two of the featured coaches were a Monaco Dynasty and the Country Coach Veranda. Sad to see since both of those companies have failed.

If it was the `08 Hershey show I was there and saw Teton Homes had a 5er there with a sign attached listing units in stock by that dealer and that no new orders were being taken.

Things change daily for sure. Take NuWa. A few weeks ago looked like they were the next casualty. Now they are back building units.

Heh, don't worry, the show didn't even make a single mention about Truck Campers, I guess we're still the red-headed step children of the industry, even though, once upon a time, we were the golden child.

No mention of truck campers, for sure. The show focused on three couples/families looking for an RV so the focus was more on motorhomes, TT's, 5th wheels and toy haulers.
