July 22, 2008 Reuters reports-Multiple woes, including tight credit and fuel costs, make current slump worse that previous ones, CEO says. The head of Winnebago Industries Inc. say the economic challenges facing manufactures of RV have worsened in the month since it reported that quarterly profit tumbled 73 per cent.
Sad New for RV Industries.

It is bad enough to hear of doom and gloom on TV daily, but do we need reminded of it on this forum?

Winnebago is a large player in the RV business, talk about them should always be welcome here, good times or bad times.

Perhaps a cooking forum would be better?
