I doubt any company would expand their business based on an industry report if it was not backed up by their own internal sales figures. Of course, some of those companies may be looking at what happened at EHGNA & wondering how they can make sure that doesn't happen to them.
The source of the industry sales figures also matters. If they're based on sales reported by dealers, or are based on vehicle registrations, those would not have been affected by any internal shenanigans at EHGNA. There's only a potential issue if the industry report is based on numbers coming from EHGNA.
Anyway, a significant portion of the increase in class B sales seems to be going to Winnebago, since their market share has been steadily going up. I think if this had happened at Winnebago it would have been more likely to cause the concerns you're suggesting.
