Auction marks downfall of ‘RV capitol of world’
Indiana's Elkhart County has been hard hit as recession cripples RV
industry
updated 24 minutes ago
SYRACUSE, Ind. - William Edmondson knows well the route from Albertville,
Ala., to Elkhart County, Ind.
Ameri-Camp RV, which shut its doors in October with the loss of hundreds of
jobs, is the latest recreational vehicle manufacturer to go on the auction
block, forced to stop operations by the economic recession that has
crippled the recreational vehicle industry.
Elkhart County, which bills itself as “the RV capital of the world,” has
seen its fortunes fall with the economy. Factory buildings now lie idle,
with rows of unsold motor homes lined up outside. The jobless rate
skyrocketed to 18.3 percent in January.
President Barack Obama visited Elkhart on Feb. 9, using the town’s plight
to urge Congress and the nation to back his plan for economic revival.

Mechanical version of the camel caravan and wagon train.
One more stupid post like this, I'm going to drive my RV over to your
trailer park and tow your house away.
Ya' know--some of us never see that crap until an idiot like you fishes
out a handful and throws it where it is hard to avoid.
yeah--maybe we ought to make sure companies that manufacture private jets go
out of business too! Make the executives and Hollywood celebs drive chevys
and take commercial flights...........and then,,,and THEN we can have
govmunt sanctioned vehicles only 2 models ----we can ever own & drive, yeah
and then , then we could have rationed health care --yeah that's the
ticket....and then.........

Here would be a good way for some, "good news," to read:
Greeley, CO (news org):
Police in Greeley responded to a report of a gunshot fired in a run
down trailer with a beat up Oldsmobile with bald tires parked out
front yesterday evening.
Upon entering the tralier, police found the body of one Ko0k Riemann
dead of an apparent self inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Upon searching the residence, detectives found a, "dilapidated IBM286
computer that had evidence of many thousands of crossposted messages
emenating from the computer that were littering newsgroups everywhere,
posted under the names, 'Speeders & Drunk Drivers Are MURDERERS,'
'Laura Bush murdered her boyfriend,' and others."
Detectives ruled the killing a mercy suicide and closed the case.

HAHA. Looks like i hit a nerve. Truth hurts.
May be shrinking the market for smaller motor homes and
campers, but lately especially the Flying J's are flooded
by the big million dollar+ motor home buses. But, hey,
the Wall Streeters got to have someplace to put their
bonus money
