I emailed this to two AutoHome dealers, (Defenders NW and S&S Canopies) and I thought I would try to get some public feedback here.
"I am very concerned that Autohome US doesn’t list ANY new products, I emailed them in September 2024, their response was “we are transitioning to a new website and expect it to be operational in October.” The email from last week said nothing about a new website, just "Autohome products are available through the authorized resellers" and "We are available to assist with any warranty issues or replacement parts and work directly with the factory in Italy.” That sure sounds like the USA operations are shutting down. The dealers are blowing out excess inventory (in weird sizes) with heavy discounts. As a dealer, can you comment about availability? Are you still going to be selling these tents this year, and at what price? The uncertain situation with AH-US makes the resale value of these used tents impossible to determine!"
Here is their current empty Products Page:

Thanks for any comments. Companies do not tell their customers that they are in serious financial trouble until it is far too late to be useful - (KTM motorcycles, I am talking to you.https://www.cycleworld.com/motorcycle-news/ktm-restructuring-to-avoid-bankruptcy/)
I have a Maggie Grand Tour 360 RTT for sale, I won't crosspost it in this thread, but this entire situation really has me bothered.
