RV manufacturer cuts workers on soft sales

Elkhart-based Forest River Inc., which makes recreational vehicles, boats and buses, has cut 40-50 jobs, reports the South Bend Tribune. The affected workers were among those who make diesel motor homes. The company, one of Elkhart County’s largest employers, had 4,700 employees at the start of the year.
Production had been falling off since an annual sales event earlier in the year yielded far less orders than anticipated.
