Fleetwood May Say "Adios" to California

Smarting from declines in profits and sales of its towable RV's, industry giant Fleetwood Enterprises has told company planners to "explore" the possibility of relocating its operations out of Riverside county, California.

In an article appearing in the Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly, published in Indiana, locals are grinning broadly at the prospects that the big RV maker may decide Indiana's 'the place you ought to be,' and may reap financial benefits from such a move. The company has indicated they'd like to have their operations closer to their customer base, and adds that California is a far more expensive state to operate in.

Fleetwood has made plenty of news lately, and infuriated vast numbers of readers of this blog when, after closing a number of manufacturing plants in the US, followed up by opening an RV plant in Mexico.
