Be Glad You Do Not Have a Deposit Paid On A New Lil Snoozy Trailer

How many more RV manufacturer's will follow Hymer NA and Lil Snoozy?

Apparently 45 families had orders on the books with hefty deposits paid.

Sorry for those customers! Another good reason to buy a used trailer in good condition IMO.

Bad set of circumstances. Have to wonder if it was bad business practices or bad intent.

The deposit kills me, why so much?

I see Oliver charges 15% deposit to get a start date on the build. I looked some time ago but they run around $60K I think?
If so you need to give a $9K deposit, what does AS do?

Generally speaking, deposited funds should have gone into an escrow account. Sounds like the company in this case diverted those deposits to operating funds and when the company folded, the money was gone.
