I've been revisiting the thresd list to find out which company's are still standing. Integrity, Sundowner are gone. Who else might be having troubles? I haven't purchased a trailer yet. Went to Congress to see what's out there with the intention to buy but decided to wait to see what the economy would do first. Still strongly considering Eby. Thanks.

WOW, didn't know Sundowner was gone.... I knew they closed one of their plants up north. I just bought some replacement parts for mine directly from the manufacture in OK and they did not know they was gone. He was going to check with his boss and find out why they was still working!

Hey 3Horse; I would like to set you straight on the Sundowner "being gone". We have been a longtime Sundowner dealer; and they are very much alive and operating. Their operation is now all centered out of their main manufacturing facility in Coleman, Oklahoma. They just finished building their first living quarters out of that facility recently. They are still building approx. 20 trailers per week; whereas many other manufacturers have shutdown operations for 1-3 months or are building with a skeleton crew. Do everyone a favor and forget the "tally" info!!

Guess it would be good to check facts first rather than be looked upon as either clueless or deliberately spreading BS around. I would assume the OP just made an honest mistake.
