"For most people the economics favors gas."

Sure. Most people don't drive an RV very much. So the cheaper the engine and other motor vehicle components, the better. Which is why most people buy...

Its interesting they planned to use the Fiat Ducato as a base and it seems like a European design. I didn't see any mention of AC, microwave or black tank. If understand it, the "garage" for bikes...

I doubt it is a coincidence that the CEO of Westfalia was quoted in the news release about Rapido's purchase of Roadtrek. Just as Thor's purchase of Erwin Hymer Group was a strategic move into the...

Actually, we don't know what is included in the sale and it hasn't been finalized, so everything is a bit grey. But the CEO said those "sold prior to receivership" and the ones on dealer lots were...

Best Case

The best case scenario is that Roadtrek, as it was operated, was a successful company. We have no way of knowing whether that is the case. Without the loans from EHG, the company was solvent on...
