Former Country Coach, LLC Service Specialists...where are they now?



Former Country Coach, LLC 
COUNTRY COACH SERVICE SPECIALISTS…
Here’s Where They Are Today!
*Formerly employed by now defunct Country Coach, LLC, these Country Coach Service Specialists  
still work in the industry available to assist with care and servicing of your motorcoach!


As Consultant to the CCFI Board of Directors, I am happy to share this list which. actually, I compiled the original list after CC, LLC’s closed its doors.  I wanted to keep track of my CC service friends and where they had gone “after Country Coach, LLC.”  It is a priority at the Country Coach Friends Incorporated Club to keep track of Country Coach service specialists who worked at the former Country Coach manufacturer in the Service field.  These people were and are still the most qualified to provide care and attention to Country Coach motorcoaches. The list below identifies many former service employees of the defunct Country Coach, LLC and where they are today. 

If you have corrections please let me know. It is by no means complete and there are many other Country Coach specialists still serving motorcoachers somewhere in the RV industry. Do you know where other former CC, LLC service providers are now located? Will you please let me know so I can continue to update this list periodically?
