David, thank you for getting thru to my old brain. I really subscribe to #3, although I have called the factory, perhaps 2 times in 10 years.

Ahh, allow me to translate:

1) They didn't fail, the bankers just pulled the rug out from under
'em,

2) Macy was truly trying to build a motorhome, and

3) vintage bus owner's are a PITA and will never buy one of your
new products!

I dont think they failed. business purchase plans have a bailout plan
prompted by math results. marriages have the same they call them
Prenumptuals however the prompts are mostly social.

I'm surprised they closed, thought the building/land purchase was to
service epa compliancy market and WL was just a perk.

The free TV give away to retro owners was the first sign of marketing
in unknown territory. Give a set of golf clubs to a fleet manager
and FM buys 15 engine repowers for the Company or transit agency he
works for.. Give a TV to Vintage bus owner and they ask for an extra
remote.
