Seems the claim to fame here is that Elkhart is the RV manufacturing epicenter of America. JUst the industry to diversify out of I would say. If Elkhart never made another RV it challenges my imagination that all the inventory on I 35 and out I 10 from San Antonio would ever get sold. 

But I digress.  What does Elkahrt want?  Well money from the government which would be used I guess to help a community college.  Elkhart wants more loans for inventory for manufacturing. 

And then , big finish

MIke led them in a big cheer demanding

-the firing of the Treasury Secretary (that would be the person presumably signing their check)

–  and lower payroll taxes for all manufacturers, wait a minute aren't you guys on unemployment insurance?

Yep a helping hand indeed….it is unrealistic to bite the hand that feeds

I suspect that we have seen the end of the RV by sales industry.  I am told that frequent breakdowns make rental impractical if not impossible.
