Well that was the worst possible timing. RVs are selling like crazy. Huge General RV near me that always has a lot full of rolling stock is almost picked clean safe a few medium duty truck based units and a few trailers.

Wow! “planning to accelerate our business transformation by pushing out the boundaries of opportunity while streamlining our operations and footprint.”
It's not every exec who is such a master of content-free speech! If that's who's minding the store, it's no wonder they're circling the drain. It' a shame though, they used to make some good seats back in the days of their "core competency". I love the set in my GMC which were already some years old when I bought the coach neatly 25 years ago, and still look and feel good today.
I think the general translation of that babble is: "We are buying cheap crap from China and selling it with a big mark-up to people who still think our name means quality." Gresham's Law of auto parts.
My 2¢.

Interesting to learn about flexsteel Last night (14th) the sixwheelers were meeting at the East Galesburg campground and suddenly an older gentleman appears and is taking pictures of our coaches. Come to find out he is a retired Union truck driver who in the 70's ;and 80's drover for flex-steel out of Dubuque. He and his wife were excited to see the old gmc's that he remembered driving furniture from Dubuque to detroit for. He and his wife were excited and toured our Royale and said "yup, thats a flex-steel dinette seat" I was fascinated when he said that they (I think he meant flex-steel) had 74 full time semi drivers delivering motorhome furniture to Detroit, Elkhart etc.in his day.
