For what it is worth, I was at the Coach House factory for a tour this past week and they seem to be doing fine.  They had an owner's rally there last weekend.
 I wasn't looking to jump motherships but I happened to be in the area on vacation.

Ventured to the Chicago Boat and RV show today at McCormick place.
This annual show was always 50/50 boats and RV's along with the supporting industries for both. McCormick place has acres of exhibition space and in past years one main floor would house the boating goods and the same size floor below all things RV. As no surprise this years show had only a portion of one floor for everything. The boats and their support industries took up 90% of the sole floor with the RV's maintaining a quiet corner. No major representatives of the RV industry at all...There was one Bounder class A, 3 Class C's from Coachman, a few family tricked out vans and a couple of larger Class A's from some obscure manufacturer. All those showing were from the local area where in the past Reps and equipment would come from most everywhere. The majority of the remaining items were popups and small economical trailers. Most surprising, where there once was a large contingent from every major brand there was zero this year. The support industries were non existent also.

The mood was not discount pricing but "make me an offer".

For one who always enjoyed this annual exhibition today proved sad.
There was no hiding of the economical downturn.
 As the Tribune reported in this mornings paper. "The Boat Show is in town: Time to blow up a life raft and start paddling"
 The news that Lazy Daze is still pounding away is sure good to hear.
