Sabre pulled the plug??
Hi all,
Does anyone know why sabre production on the travel trailers has stopped? Went looking for a 320res and could only find two available online. Wondering if they were slow sellers or whatever. We really like ours, just wanted to upgrade.
Thanks
Dave and Rainy

Extraordinarily slow sellers. For them to have a travel trailer roll down the line was a rarity (my guess is 100 to 1).

We looked at them when we bought our fiver. Very hard to find and dealer had trouble getting them in.

I stopped at the dealer last fall where we bought our QBOK back in Oct '12, and they didn't have any Sabre 5ver's at all. When I asked why, the salesman said FR had replaced them with the Shasta line of 5vers, and that Sabre 5ver's were being phased out.

Interesting. I was cruising our dealers website recently (read bored ) and I didn't see any Sabre's listed.

Sounding like the dealer was taking out their bunghole.

Good to know! Still kinda wonder why they don't appear on my dealers online inventory unless they decided to not handle them anymore.

The dealer that say there are not making them any longer have someelse in stock to move at substantial savings. Our local Sabre dealer has 4 in stock, which is a lot for Canada.

I just checked my dealers website again and 3 appear as 'Order One Today'. None show as 'In Stock'. I'm thinking maybe they redid their website over the weekend and that's why none showed up at all before. They must have sold the ones on their lot.
Turbs,
I just looked at Cheyenne's website and they list 3 as 'In Stock".

Sabre is no longer building travel trailers.
5th wheels are the only units they are presently building.
