As much as I support American business, I will not shed a tear for the fate of Winnebago, a company that is part of the problem. Winnebago and their ever increasing line of monstrous RV's is a poster child for over-consumption in America and one I would not mind seeing falling by the wayside. I don't think part of the original "American Dream" was to drive your house to your vacation spot.I love to travel and who wouldn't want to travel across the US in ultimate comfort? But at what costs? Gas grows ever more expensive and yet over the last decade you see more of these behemoths on the road, blocking traffic, churning noxious fumes and even towing a sedan behind them like a dinghy! Here in New England our roads are just as wide as back in the horse and buggy days - barely able to handle car traffic. Put wheels on two bedroom apartments, drive it around during the summer tourist season, and you can see why I hate RV's.
