sorry muni' don't have time right now to dig out the sources again...
and at least we agree that
the CORPORATION has continued to support the club where it matters, and without fanfare.
but a/s is a ~100 million $ company (recent annual sales figure)
and THOR is a 3 BILLION+ $ company (including all divisions, gotta count bus sales!)
you do the math.
also given that a/s recent peaks in unit production are ONLY 2,000-2100 annualy, with several 100 of those 4 export only this year...
and recent dealer owned inventory is moving MUCH slower than from 02 thur 06...
while thor's annual rv only sales target is
100,000 units, and that
doesn't include the bus divisions.
so a/s is just a small slice of thor pie.
trying to figure the a/s contribution to the total corporate profit is more complicated,
based on public information available.
thor continues to allow each of it's brands to operate as individual companies,
and only has small overlap or shared functions/technology.
and warranty/repair costs at a/s
significantly cut into profit.
so my observation is basically as suggested back here, in post # 2, 8, 41/42...

thor waves the a/s flag like ge'em waves the corvette, and a/s is like a trophy bride!
with corrosion and frame problems
cheers
