Featherlite Closes in Florida

[truk4u]

Heard today here in FL that Featherlite in Sanford has closed and is opening back up as a different company. Don't know any details, but maybe someone in the know will jump in.

Heard today on CCO site Buddy Gregg closed in Dallas...operations moved to Knoxville location.

Hope that is not true about Featherlite in Florida because my coach is down there in the shop right now for major TV/SAT/Internet rework! Talked to Jim Marsh yesterday about doing a battery load test and he didn't mention anything. Will find out for sure and report back.

Unfortunately you are right. Featherlite Sanford is no more and will open a week from Monday as Renaissance Coach. Former owner sold out and apparently the deal was sealed on Friday. They are saying that nothing will change except the name. We shall see. Cheers

Hey Guys,

Did anyone get to see the late model Featherlite 4 slide that sold last year. I dont believe it had OTR. Do any of the converters offer the 4 slide with OTR? Saw a 4slide Marathon at Prevost Nashville . Man it was a good looking coach!

The ducting for the OTR would be almost impossible to get to flow properly with 4 slides,Prevost does not offer OTR with more than 2 slides.

Thanks Jack, I wonder if any converters offer more than 2 slides with OTR if they are after market slides?

Liberty was the last hold out on OTR, all other converters having stopped offering it. They may still offer it with two slides, but not with more than 2. It cannot be ducted when slides are on both sides of the coach
