I read this today, I hope not.

Wow. I see the S2RV chassis segment sales exploding if there are no class a gassers

This goes along with the rumor (?) that Winnebago is getting out of the Class A business.

Sales of class A motorhomes has been declining. I drove by the Camping World yesterday and it is a sea of TT's and 5th wheels and Class C and B's. Reading the tea leaves maybe?

I wouldn't be too quick to write off the F53, it's not exclusive to Class A motorhomes. It's been made in Mexico since the early 90's and used for several truck platforms in the Americas.

No, just shifting gas Class A production to other Winnebago owned brands. It's all about creative accounting.
