ELKHART, Ind. — Forest River Inc. CEO Pete Liegl and Thor Industries Inc. President and CEO Bob Martin have agreed to reschedule – by a week – this year’s Elkhart RV Open House in an effort to relax fall show schedules for scores of front-line salespeople from a variety of companies. As a result, the Open House in northern Indiana’s RV-building center of Elkhart, Indiana, this year will start on September 24, instead of September 17, as previously announced, reported RV Business today.

The three-to-four-day Open House is now the industry’s only national-scale selling show in the wake of the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) board’s recent decision to terminate late November’s 54-year-old National RV Trade Show – once an industry staple better known as the Louisville Show.
