Recently, production rates for Elkhart, Ind.-based Four Winds Class A and Class C motorhomes have increased as a direct result of providing the best "bang for the buck" to dealers and retail buyers, according to a news release.

"We are in the process of reinvigorating the Four Winds line-up," commented Dana Simon, Four Winds International general manager.

We are focused on simplifying our offerings while providing dealers and retail customers the best products, features and customer support."
