remoandiris Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Evergreen is MUCH more than just Lifestyle. The Alfa Gold line was under Lifestyle. LS ended the Alfa line this year, rebranding them as LS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXiceman Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 The also built the i-Go trailers. Sure hate to see Lifestyle go under. It sure limits the choice of upper end trailers now. Makes me glad we have our HitchHiker Champagne.

Chad Heiser Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 I got a call from my local Lifestyle dealer today. I had expressed an interest in their bath and a half model some time ago. He told me Lifestyle is officially out of business and they have the bath and a half that I previously looked at still. They want it gone. He said he would sell it to me for their cost plus a 5 year aftermarket warranty to sweeten the deal. We'll see, but my DW wasn't in love with that model so I doubt I will do it but it is tempting. 2000 Kenworth T2000 w/ Cummins N14 and autoshift 2017 DRV Mobile Suite 40KSSB4 with factory mods, dealer mods and personal mods - now in the RV graveyard 2022 DRV Full House MX450 with customized floor plan 2018 Polaris RZR Turbo S (fits in the garage) 2016 Smart Car (fits in the garage or gets flat towed behind the DRV when the RZR is in the garage)My First Solar Install ThreadMy Second Solar Install Thread & Photos and Documents Related to the buildMy MX450's solar, battery and inverter system - my biggest system yet! chadheiser.com West Coast HDT Rally Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big5er Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Why? If they don't offer a sweet deal on some sort of warranty, no one would buy the thing since there is NO manufacturer warranty. Without an aftermarket warranty you will never get any of the issues that come with a new trailer addressed.

phoenix2013 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 There was a lot of excitement when the company "welcomed" the transplanted design and manufacturing group from Carriage (when they went belly up) to essentially carry on the mantle of that company quality products, at Evergreen. But apparently the "marriage" didn't have legs. Isn't it interesting that family owned companies, like the original Carriage, or Jayco, can last 30-40 years through many recessions and business cycles, but when they get taken over by the, Harvard. MBA educated, deep pocket, investor types, they panic at the sight of first few bad quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
