Orphan RVs

Been a tough stretch for RV Manufacturers. Here are some of the dearly departed manufacturers:

Well the good news is that every death seems to have spawned new start ups. For example, the re-birth of Teton Homes, Pilgrims designer's and materials people started Everlite (all composite, no wood products), Glacier RV has started a direct-to-consumer high end 5th wheel product, Weekend Warrior may restart under a another group...



Thankfully THOR and Cruiser have done a fantastic job floating above other's in the economic downturn and seem well positioned to gain more market share.

Al:
That's quite a list you compiled. Did you miss HH--- Nu-Wa? Maybe they fall under one of the ones you have on your list. All said, there is some pretty big names there.

Nu-Wa is back in production, here is the link, note the 2010 model releases:
