Tiffin Group announced plans to diversify its motorized product offerings to focus on the growing Class B and Class C market segments.
To focus on products its consumers and dealers are requesting, the organization is restructuring, including the discontinuation of Vanleigh RV (VLRV) operations, Tiffin Group’s towable division in Burnsville, Mississippi, effective in March.
The strategy of streamlining its business is based on consumer data, dealer input and current market conditions, which the company said points to promising opportunities in motorized RV growth categories.
All Vanleigh RV warranty and customer support needs will be honored in a manner consistent with Tiffin’s historical, best-in-industry practice. Last year, Vanleigh RV’s service operations were integrated with existing Tiffin service operations to improve customer care. The centralized service operations will ensure Tiffin’s long-term ability to provide excellent customer support and honor all Vanleigh RV warranty needs, Tiffin said.
The Tiffin Group will provide resources to individuals impacted by the plant closure to assist them in their search for future employment, in addition to assistance from the Mississippi Department of Employment Security rapid response teams.
“This decision is especially personal to me since I founded VLRV in 2014,” says Leigh Tiffin, president of Tiffin Group, “but we are dedicated to our vision of diversifying our motorized product offering to become the RV industry’s premier full-line motorized OEM. We are confident the tough choices we are making are necessary to successfully support our customers, team members, business partners and local communities for many years to come.”
