Seeing that Skyline sold out to Evergreen in 2014, who then went out of business in 2016, 7 years is about right. Evergreen took a mediocre product and morphed it into total junk. Fairly common course of action in the RV industry.

Sorry, I have to disagree. Our Skyline/Evergreen definitely isn’t total junk and has been relatively trouble free for over 6 years. It’s been cross country twice and up and down the East coast many times. We average several thousand miles a year. It lives outside on a mountain.
A lot of folks on here just love to trash RVs. Perhaps another form of recreation would make them happier.

In reply to what is surmised to have happened to the Skyline RV manufacturing company, I found this partial press release from October of 2014:
EverGreen Recreational Vehicles has purchased the RV business and a manufacturing facility of Skyline Corporation, which has exited the RV business to concentrate on manufactured housing. The purchase was completed October 10, 2014.

And subsequently Evergreen went belly up @ 2016.
