ELKHART — There is more fallout from a downturn in the RV trade. In the midst of plant closings, a long-time RV dealer is also closing its doors.

"We just can't continue to pour money into a sinking ship,” said Richard Aker, who owns the Hart City RV Supercenter, which is going out of business.

Sales, especially for motorized units, have plummeted. Now it's having a liquidation sale of all its units.

"The last three months, nothing's moving," he explained. "The problem really began with the high cost of fuel, and then the money just started to tighten up with the banks, to where they just didn't want to make loans and so they made it harder for people to get credit."

Hart City is apparently the latest in a line of RV dealers to shut down. Aker says he knows of at least two others in the area, and that number could grow.

"There's probably going to be others in this community, and as well as around the country," he said.

Hart City employee Jai Ann Evans said, “This has just been an awesome job for me and I'm really sad to see it end. Of course it's all tied into the ripple effect from the RV business and it just worked its way down. And that's what happened with us."

“It was a very great place to work and I'm sad we are closing, but I understand the nature and reason we're closing," said employee Chris Brown.

The RV Supercenter also includes a separate business, the Campers Discount Center. It is also undergoing a liquidation sale and will be closing.
