That's great news for the people in the Elkhart area that really took it on the chin in the Great Rescission when all the manufacturing jobs in the RV industry crashed. Don't worry about finding workers because I am sure if Winnebago is going to pay a competitive wage and willing to hopefully work together with the unions for the benefit of the company and workers they will have no trouble finding and coaxing back former RV manufacturer workers. The stronger the RV industry is the better it is for all of us whether you have a Winnebago product or not.  ]]> Fri, 04 May 2018 23:19:54 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11516&PID=108727#108727 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11516&PID=108717#108717 Author: Guests

Well.........there's the Champ.........and then there are those that wished they were the Champ!   

What I found interesting was that they are expanding capacity and feel that the market is going to remain strong enough in the foreseeable future to support the expansion. However, I don't know where they are going to find workers to build anything.

I don't know if they are going to build Drops there or not - just "towables"...perhaps a mix of products.

If people are looking for the Winnie Drop they can head to Traverse City, MI and find a number of them in various colors waiting for buyers.  Red, blue, black ones were seen a couple weeks ago.  I still vote for the R-POD, ours has serviced us well since March 2011.]]> Fri, 04 May 2018 16:51:41 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11516&PID=108715#108715 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11516&PID=108697#108697 Author: Guests

I stumbled across this and thought to pass it along, for your reading enjoyment.

Something else, that I may have posted a while back:

The whole RV industry is hot! I speculate that the manufacturers are being pulled at both ends. Retailers* screaming for product to put on their lots to sell and experiencing a big labor shortage while trying to fill orders.



* I have decided to stop calling sellers of RVs "Dealers". Instead, I think the term "Retailer" is more appropriate.
