Is it a sign of the times?

When multiple Thor brands sell the same camper floor plan with different brand names on them, I can see why they are closing plants. Similar to GM when you had Chevy, Olds, Pontiac and Buick. Now you only have Chevy and Buick.
Makes sense to me.

Kind of tells me they're slowing down because the hot market isn't there right now.

I don't think they can make me buy that.
The dealer lots are to full of RV's now.

all the ones around me are chocked full of inventory and I am pestered with emails form many of them touting new models on hand and sales/deals. I would imagine they are hurting like auto dealers due to high prices and high finance costs pricing many buyers out of the market. many auto dealers have 300-400 days of inventory but are still reluctant to cut prices.
