Livin'Lite closing down

[djsamuel]

I just talked with my local LL dealer, Windish RV. The LL factory has confirmed they are shutting down. No firm date but it was supposed to be sometime this month, June 2018. RIP Livinlite. Scott, where are you when we need you?

Scott is at Intech RV.  They have some form of announcement today at 5PM on their Facebook page.

In case anybody wants to see it, the report can be found at:

I wouldn't be surprised if the announcement is that Intech is buying Livin Lite. Wouldn't be the first time an owner/founder sold his company to someone big, they couldn't make a go of it and then sold it back to him (for much less!!).

Unfortunately Intech RV's announcement today was for a new Luna Lite model. Nothing like a Camp Lite.

Anybody hear a rumor that Heartland purchased Livin Lite? I won't believe it until I see something official.

Edit: I saw a post somewhere that there is a rumor Livin Lite was sold. The person thought it was Heartland, but then I realized Thor owns them anyway. Either it is being moved under Heartland, it is being sold to someone else, or nothing is happening.

That's quite a story. I can't understand killing off a product that has a good steady demand?

Makes me wonder if someday our units will be a hot commodity in the used market?

Thanks for sharing the article. Popped by the site because I had steered a friend to LL...now to see they are out of business. Explains why I saw so few on RVTrader. A bit sad; still love my LL.

Was there a fire sale? The few new ones on RVTrader seem very expensive.

[DavidM]

There was never a fire sale of unsold LLs in dealer's stock. And that RVtrader prices are holding up is a testement to LL's quality (maybe pre Thor) and popularity. It is crazy/sad that Thor couldn't make a go of LLs.

Looks like the LL Yahoo page is getting shut down by the end of the year.  I pointed folks in this direction.
