Today I read a story about Weekend Warrior Toy Haulers might be coming back. I think this would be a good sign for the RV Industry. All though there's probably a lot of unsatisfied customers especially because, when Warrior went under all of those customers that had warranties lost them.

There were also a lot of riders disappointed to find out Warrior had fallen victim to the economic Tsunami.

This product was the best the RV Industry had ever seen. It was the number one ranking Toy Hauler. The nearest competitive product sold less than a third of what Weekend Warrior did.

Larry Broyles is the CEO of the new Warrior Lifestyles company which operates out of Perris, Calif. They are offering sales, parts and service for the old Weekend Warrior Trailers brand, Warrior LIfestyles has positioned themselves to pick up the slack for the thousands of customers out there that still love their Warriors.


“It’s not a weekend anymore, it’s a lifestyle,” said Broyles, describing how the new company came into being, and how it will be diversified into several other industries including lifestyle products like clothing, outdoor gear, bedding, furniture, housewares for trailers and surprisingly, bottled water as well.

“We’ll be able to offer families that purchase our trailers full packages of our own gear. This stuff will match not only the units we sell, but the lifestyle our customers desire,” Broyles said. “Weekend Warrior was the innovator and the top toy hauler company in the industry, and we intend on exceeding that achievement and running with it into the future.”


Mark Warmoth, who owned the now defunct Weekend Warrior, has helped with the design phase of the new brand of products. Said Broyles; "Mark's influence on this industry is indelible. It can be seen everywhere you look. You drive down any freeway in southern California and you're going to see warrior, warrior, some other trailer that looks just like a warrior, warrior, warrior, so on and so forth. His design was unmatched and highly imitated."

Larry Boyles was in the right position at the right time. When Warrior went under Boyles was able to purchase all of the molds and a lot of the parts being sold off.

I hope this company comes back Mark Warmoth was a good guy with a good attitude and a great product. It was sad to see them go but, I guess when times get tuff it doesn't matter how good of a product you build, if your not saving enough for the rainy day. Then nothing else matters.

Even though there's those that don't care for Weekend Warrior, they still have to admit that the product was good and it was built by riders for riders. Good Luck to Warrior.
