Riverside RV Company Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

A Riverside RV company, well known for years as a giant in the industry, has fallen victim to the economic crisis and the company’s bankruptcy attorney has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on its behalf.

“Fleetwood Enterprises Inc., the iconic Riverside-based maker of recreational vehicles and manufactured housing that has ferried road-trippers and housed owners for 59 years, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

The company announced Tuesday morning that it would keep day-to-day operations of its businesses going while it shops for a buyer.

Its travel trailer division though will be shuttered, affecting 667 employees nationwide including 12 at the company’s Rialto service center.

The company laid off another 65 Inland workers in corporate positions Monday. More than 600 workers remain in Riverside.”
