FYI Production has come to a halt

[ARD]

Pro Air provides the dash air for Newmar, Keystone and many other brands. They have shut down and now Newmar and other manufacturers are scrambling. Meanwhile production at Newmar shut down yesterday and likely will be shut down next week as well.

Yes, I believe you are right. I overheard a group of men talking this morning while having breakfast and it would seem that there is more to the shut down than just Pro Air.

HWH sounds like they've been problematic, people are out a year waiting on HWH steps.

That happen to NAPA A year and a half ago. Spector (Canada) supplied NAPA with radiators and filed bankruptcy out of the blue. NAPA has been scrambling ever since to find another supplier. The other suppliers are trying to meet the demand for their already customers. I still buy most of mine from other sources outside NAPA.
There is opportunity for a U.S. based company to really make big with production here in the States of many different products.. It would be a year or so before production of any product could start and I believe that investors are saying no because of the mess the United States is in right now also.

I assume that everyone saw the announcement that Norcold is ending production in the US. Regardless of whether you have any concerns about the safety of a Chinese-made Norcold, it's difficult to expect that transferring production won't put some wrinkles into the supply chain.
‘It’s a shame’; Norcold to shut down facilities in two northern Miami Valley communities

It was just 3 or 4 years ago we were bringing 10's of thousands of manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. What happened?
