I stopped by the Giant RV Murrieta/Temecula location back in early May to look at a used WW on their lot and in talking with the salesman it sounded like they knew what might be coming and were stocking up on high dollar KZ Infernos to fill the void.
For what it's worth, I'll also add that I counted over 150 WW units listed as in stock on Giant's website (all locations) and with today's economy, they won't be needing to stock up on KZ's anytime soon unless the bank picks up all of the units from dealer stock as well.

I can't imagine that Weekend Warrior won't come back in some fashion.
Weekend Warrior was doing some things right, and it seems like a great opportunity to come back as the "new" Weekend Warrior. Presumably, Giant will have them on the lot.

Giant? They sell different brands, What about Travelon RV who is exclusive to Weekend Warrior. Talk about having ALL of your eggs in one basket.

Agree... I made their life miserably when we took delivery they kick me off the lot... I guess because I refused delivery 3 times. I must say I have had no issues with the trailer, except for the dreaded fuel station gears.
Hey Darryl ... Where did you get those gears from again?

I guess we're an anomaly. We didn't have any problems or issues w/ Giant when we bought our WW. We looked at other dealers and models and found the WW fit our needs. I think when it was over we felt that maybe we could have gotten a little better deal, but I don't think I've ever bought anything big and not felt that way afterward. I will say, that I could tell that the salesguy was talking like he was an experienced camper and owned his own "coach", but I could smell the bullsh_t from across the room. I ignored that and found a price that was good for all involved. The walkthrough guy was thoroughly knowledgeable and even gave me his personal cell phone number to call if we had any problems (I tested it one trip for a stupid question, but he answered it with what sounded like a smile).
Anyway, I'm not thrilled w/ WW going out of business, but I'm sure they won't be the last. I don't have much business with Giant. Luckily I bought an extended warranty, and I'm good w/ tools.

I got them from Warrior, but from what I hear you can get them from the pump manufacture. Warrior Gear also sells them, but...
