RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- MVP RV, an RV maker that credited its revival to Chinese investor Winston Chung who pledged to give the company $310 million to build RVs for China, has gone out of business, the Press-Enterprise reported today.

The company assigned all of its assets to a private, non-profit, liquidation firm on Dec. 12, according to Michael Joncich, manager of Credit Management Association’s adjustment bureau. MVP RV had sold off all its trailer and RV inventory to dealers and since December had not taken any new orders, Joncich told the Press-Enterprise.

MVP didn’t file for bankruptcy but instead signed over control of its assets to Joncich’s firm, which will auction the assets in order to raise money to pay the $37 million owed to creditors, the paper noted.

Information about the sale of the company’s assets – including the real estate it owns in Riverside County, inventory and parts as well as the brand name will eventually be available on CMAauctions.com, according tot he Press-Enterprise. The auction is not yet listed on that site.

Did anyone really believe the fairy tales coming out of China and how they were going to make this company the greatest thing in the RV industry since the first Winnebago motorhome rolled off the assembly line. The sad part is the damage done to the employees, and the industry that can do without the Chinese playing in this sandbox.

Agree with Bob. Feel bad for the employees. Except for a couple of knuckleheads at the top, they had great employees. Well run sales team, and spot on product offering. Good quality too. Hope they come back without China.

From linked comment... "MVP was one of two new RV manufacturers that sprung up from the ruins of Weekend Warrior and another less known RV builder in Riverside County, KA"

This is 100% wrong.

MVP is the remnants of Thor's Thor California division. Thor exited the southern california market and Pablo Carmona, Brad Williams, and Roger Humeston took over the ownership of the division from Thor.

it will be tough to rebuild a dealer network. I don't think that their Chinese benefactor is commited to MVP for the long haul...
