So where are all these supposed interesting parties to buy Roadtrek and restart operations?

Could it be that many of us were right and there simply aren't any?

Time should be up now and move to...

Not to mention, that if Roadtrek is restarted, they might be asking potential dealers to PURCHASE a new franchise. That might be a very tough sell.

I'd bet that abandoning the existing warranties will not be a big hit to the brand of Roadtrek that many of you would think it is.

New customers might be shaky in trusting the warranty from a...
