Is it true that the 2010 model year will only see the 27 foot front bedroom model and the 30 foot Classic with dinette being built by Airstream? I caught this in the Region 2 News & Views report as reported by Larry Huttle at the mid-Winter IBT meeting-- see

If true, it sure seems like an odd choice of models to produce. I would think the smaller rigs and the recently revived Flying Cloud would be part of the mix. And the odd floorplan of the front kitchen lives???? Go figure. I can't tell from the report if the CCD will live on.
They may be expecting many of the '09 model year sitting on lots for a while. It's good to hear Airstream Inc. carries no debt. I wish I could say the same
.
It's sad that the Elkhart, IN area is seeing 15% unemployment as noted today in the Presidents Town Hall. They live by RV sales in those parts. Tough times for the middle class for sure.
