Default Why Delete Your Only Marketing and Product Sales Tool?

I am stunned and confused and really disappointed with the "new" Trailmanor website.

Whenever someone would ask me about my Trailmanor, I would direct them to the Trailmanor website and they could see the videos of the TM and the design, and it had a wealth of information. Where do I point them to now?

Why would a company who was manufacturing a product take down a website with such valuable marketing and sales data for that product?

It's a very sad day and I hope this is not the last straw.

I think our site sponsorships pay the costs to operate forum...

Default Looks like an out-of-business site

This is the typical content when a company ceases operations. Anyone want to call on the phone?

When I was at their facebook page a guy who trucked units for them was saying he has not been paid for the last 16 months. Does not sound good. They should make a move to the Southwest and get some skilled workers in there.

I just called again and tried all 5 extensions (Parts/Service, Sales/Marketing, Business Office, Purchasing, Plant Manager) and got no answer at any of those extensions.

Just talked to David at JD Sanders RV and he has had a parts order in for 2 months & no response to a recent call. Bob was supposed to have come by on a sales trip and never showed up.

Personally hate to see such a brilliant design in management trouble but probably the value of mine will increase. Resto-mods anyone ?

Do suspect there is enough talent here on the forum to make it viable. Know the people who took over both the GMC Motor Home and Vixen RV business. Suspect there are people in Tennessee who know how to build a TrailManor.

Sorry Bill, guess am getting ahead but retirement is being boring & automotive/aircraft manufacturing is something I understand.
