Thought I would pass this on to everyone, Monaco closed down in February and everything is up for sale this Monday from unfinnished rv's to 6gal water heaters and everything in between. Might be some good deals!

Is there a specific website for this sale? Thanks
Looks like a live auction in Elkhart on Tueday:

If you leave now, you should be able to make it in time :).

It's really ashamed that they couldn't continue to manufacture units until everything was used up. A gigantic inventory! Good Luck, TomC
I just read this week that the plant would reopen soon under new ownership.

That's great news! Good Luck, TomC
Monaco didn't go out of business. They just quit making trailers. They still make motorhomes. The new onwer of the factory will be making motorhomes instead of trailers so they probably didn't want the materials and machinery.
There was talk about Allied closing the plant in OR and moving all operations to Elkhart I know they are selling off some of the brands like Holiday Rambler,Beaver and Safari
That Presidential fifth-wheel sure looks nice. I'll be interested to see how heavily it is discounted, particularly assuming it comes as-is with no warranty support, etc. Someone is going to get a good deal. And home-builders are going to clean up at this thing if they get a chance to attend! If anyone goes, please report back.
Cheers, John
