PERRIS,
Calif., Nov. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- National R.V.
Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets:
NRVH -
News;
the "Company") today announced that the Company and National R.V.,
Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary, filed voluntary petitions under
the provisions of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in
the United States Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California,
Riverside Division. The Company has taken these actions after
determining that seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection is in the
best interests of the Company, its creditors, stockholders and other
interested parties in light of ongoing financial challenges and the
inability to adequately fund operations and obligations. The Company
is a debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy
Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code
and orders of the Court.
Dave
Humphreys, the Company's Acting Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We
are saddened to let go our excellent employees, especially so close
to the Holidays, and even more so because National's motorhomes have
never been better than they are today. After evaluating our options,
however, we ultimately determined that seeking protection in
bankruptcy was in the best interests of creditors and shareholders."
