ELKHART, Ind. (AP) – The recreation vehicle hall of fame is facing financial problems.

The Elkhart Truth reports the RV/MH Hall of Fame & Museum is facing a severe financial shortfall that may force it to close. Hall executive director Tom McNulty told the newspaper the hall has financial problems, but officials believe they have some solutions.

Thor Motor Coach president Bill Fenech says that hall officials must present a solid, logical business plan if it wants the RV industry to help. He says an emotional appeal or a plan with “pie in the sky numbers” will not persuade RV manufacturers, suppliers and dealers to give financial backing.
