In an interview with Reuters, CEO Bob Olson says that improvements in deliveries have resulted in increased production by Winnebago for the first time in years.

"We rely on a lot of suppliers for a lot of raw materials — everything from polyethylene to ABS plastics to appliances to wood products to fabrics to chasses," he said.
"I think as we gear up as an industry, you’re going to have some of these suppliers having a hard time ramping up their schedules to the levels we would like."
