I hope WW gets through this and comes back with a bang! No matter what, I'm happy we purchased a WW and have no regrets.

Good luck! The people with brand new ones cant even get waranty. You could prob sue them, but you will be so far down the list, you will probably never see a dime. And if you do, it will be years.

All this talk of WW going away is nonsense. They could restructure, they could file bankruptcy and reorganize, they could be purchased, or they could simply grow out of this. No matter what, Weekend Warrior is not going away.
There are too many satisfied customers and future customers who like the Weekend Warrior better than an Attitude, or Tahoe, or Thor, or whatever brand.

Weekend Warrior had/has a good product. That will keep it going most likely, at least as a brand.
However, the company seems to have high liabilities (warranty claims, the lawsuit, recalls, and remaining compliance issues that will probably result in further recalls). That appears to have used up their cash-flow. Cash-flow is key to a company's continued operations. So... if they don't come up with cash fast, I suspect the current Weekend Warrior company won't exist for too long. Hopefully they can plead their case to some investors who are willing to continue the Weekend Warrior product. And hopefully they won't be taken over by somebody like THOR who would just slap the WW name and graphics on products they already make.
I bought my trailer from WW because:
1) Custom orders... Nobody else would build a 40' tow-behind, plus I was able to get it with a slide-out and spring-over-axle setup.
2) Appearance... The glossy sides and Billet interior make for one good looking trailer. It was definitely an eye catcher that got a lot of comments anywhere I went
3) Cargo Space... not many other trailers have 18' of cargo space (of course, this ties back to the custom order thing).
On the flip side, I had numerous broken fittings anywhere hose was clamped to PEX fittings. Some were nearly impossible to reach, and required minor trailer surgery to fix. Plus, the frame on my trailer was under-sized IMO. They also did a poor job with the connections on the exterior lights, and the trailer brake wiring was sub-par (it really sucks not having functional brakes on a trailer that big). So for me, if they no longer offer the features I listed above, they won't really stand out above other manufacturers, and I'd probably shop around.

Ditto for me. They were awesome in every way. I look forward to dealing with them on my next trailer. Best Wishes to Weekend Warrior.

June 25th Early Press Release
Later that night.... PRESS RELEASE
Says they'll be closed until July 7th, then reopen... smaller. If the release is accurate, sounds like they may have been a victim of the lending market... We'll see.
