Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. is a producer of recreational vehicles and formerly of manufactured housing. It was founded in 1950 by John Crean in Riverside, California, USA.
In 2007, it was declared the top-selling manufacturer in its market, but it was announced in November 2008 that Fleetwood Enterprises was closing several factories across the United States.[1]
On March 10, 2009, the company filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Code, and announced the closing of its travel trailer division.[2]
On July 17, 2009 American Industrial Partners Capital Fund IV, L.P. (“AIP”) acquired the motorized recreational vehicle assets from the company.[3] The next month, Cavco Industries acquired the manufactured housing division. Fleetwood RV is headquartered in Decatur, Indiana, USA. In 2010, AIP combined Fleetwood Enterprises with E-One, Collins Industries and Halcore Group to form Allied Specialty Vehicles.[4]
