Somehow my sig. went into a second quote, and when I pull it up to edit it.
None of that even shows up?[&:]

Gone-CampingNo kidding. I was trying to send a post and when I hit the " OK" button my whole post disappeared. We must have crossed up the wires on the net, Jeffrey.[8D][

Gone-CampingColeman did OK building their own trailers until 1989. My first PU was a true Coleman and not a Fleetwood. If Coleman gets the name out of Fleetwoods hands I think they could make a go of it. I wonder if Fleetwood bought the factory from Coleman or if they lease it. If Fleetwood doesn t own the factory Coleman could just move right back in. I met someone that used to work for Coleman and he told me they kept many of the employees when Fleetwood took over.

Gone-CampingI know the popup line is not the bread and butter for FFT but after the way they dealt with the owners of pop-ups with sagging roof issues I would say I d never purchase a camper built by FFT again! I wonder if Coleman has anything to say about the roof issues?

B-flatIt would seem that Fleetwood could keep making pop-ups, even if they
lose in court. They would just have to change the name to one of their
other brands, or start a new line. It would also seem that no matter
what happens in the courts that Fleetwood would still be liable for any
and all existing warrantees on products made by Fleetwood Folding
Trailers. If I were running Fleetwood I would start a new line, while
the lawyers drag things out for as long as possible. If they win in
court they can increase market share, and if they lose they can keep a
good bit of what they have now.
