Interesting Response from Dealership: Giant RV -
I called several Giant RV locations to inquire about purchasing a Weekend Warrior - I was told that had many to choose from and to come on down. I tried to get a price of a 26 and 28' unit - and I was given the MSRP - One was Mid 30's the other was 44. I asked about the Manufacturers warranty - NO PROBLEM I was told, best in the business. If I knew WW then I would not have to ask this I was told by the person on the phone. Upon that response - I informed the salesman what I had heard this morning from talking to someone at WW. He was unaware and was going to have someone call me back.
So - I got a call from the sales manager who informed me that WW has closed to reorganize - and that they would be reopening in a few months. We I pushed him on this and what I had been told! he than said that their dealership would be offering warranty to cover the new tt'S with a $25 co-pay. That they would be dealing on the price -
How can they sale a unit - and not tell the potential new buyer that WW is no more! and this be legal! Does not seem right!

I called on 7/15 and was told they would soon be authorizing warranty repairs. However, when I called today I was told they were liquidating WW! I was told I would have to have any repairs done under my extended warranty. They did give me a phone number for parts (while they were still available) 951-294-1399.

O.K. so I just bought my Rage'n Xtra-Lite 3205 in February. I was sure it was the best of the best and I am still convinced it is. I did invest in an extended warranty, whew!!!, and don't expect any issues.
However, should I need parts, what to do?
I called Rage'n and was told yes the doors are closed, bummer...
But there is another separate company, Weekend Warrior Gear http://weekendwarriorgear.com/wewatoyhapa.html , and parts can be purchased here.
This company is disconnected from the parent, and as such is not seized with the other assets!!! Yipeee!!!!
So, if you need parts, you can get them. My guess is that warranty work, other than those specified in the lawsuit, will be a thing of the past.
I'm wondering how the extended warranties will be used if the company is no longer in business?
Guess I'll have to ask my lawyer.

So this thread has spiraled around and around since I started it back in Dec.
I'm curious to know how many members have had their trailers fixed as part of the class action?
I assume the lawyers have folded up their tents and gone home now that there's no manufacturer left to bilk? Is that correct? Is the class action effort kaput now?

NO the lawyers just get in the long line of people that WW owe money too. Of course the bank will get their money first, if any money is left it will be paid out down the list by how important people are. LOL Lawyers may be at the TOP just behind the bank.
BUT im guessing no money will be left once the bank gets what they can, because if WW had the assets to cover the bank loans they wouldnt be in this position HUH

I don't know much about how these lawsuits work, but don't the lawyers only get paid on the basis of the claims that are settled?
No WW, no repairs.
No repairs, no individual settlements.
No settlements, no $$$ for the sharks.
Is that scenario correct? Hope so.

Seems to me the banks and other creditors should get paid before the lawyers. But I guess not much is fair.
