I have been trying to contact World Class, the chassis importers for some of the Winnebago Motorhomes. All I get is a message that the office is currently unattended.
Does anyone have a clue what is happening. I am beginning to think they might be another casualty of the financial crisis.

I remember someone telling me that Winnebago in Penrith NSW closed down a few months ago. lack of sales.
May be related?

That's good to hear they are going as there are a lot of tradies working there. There were quite a few put off, must have re hired.
My sister is in Emu Hts

Hopefully you are above the flood level unlike my silly sister who has a house that has the flood level 1cm below the floor level (and that was detirmined before all the extra urban runoff from Glenmore
park was factored into it)

Yeah, I'm
well and truly above the flood level we've been here 37 years, today actually, and remember when the area where your sister would be was paddocks with some old date palms, citrus trees, and cows grazing on it.
geez that's gone fast.

Well I have lived here(Emu Plains) 63 years and my family name has been in the area for over 170+ years and I can assure you Winnebago is still a very profitable trading company

Hi Mr fixit....
Can I top that ??
Family name has been in the Emu Plains/Penrith area for 200 years !!!
They were both convicts on the Second Fleet- 1790- and are both now 'resting' at St Stephens Cemetry in Penrith. Even have a family street name in Penrith.
I'm at Orchard Hills....
I have fond memories of holidays at the old house just on the Western side of the 'old' bridge on the river...the family there were the McGraths??
Cheers

Thank you mr fixit. I have come to the conclusion if World Class are not currently in financial trouble they soon will be, with their office "unattended" for so long. On their web site they are offering for sale USA built Winnebago's. Neil

A mate of
mine left Winnebago which meant that a job was still safe for at least one employee and heard a week later that they would have had to let him and a few other blokes go anyway ,I think that they are trying to do the right thing bye their workers but hey if there's no work there's no work!
It will be a shame to see them go out of business I think.
