That's not quite correct,

Autocruise are still in business and are now part of the Swift Group, which 
also includes Swift, Bessacar, Kon-Tiki & Ace.

This now seems to be common as for the last few years the larger 
manufacturers are buying out the other established makes and creating 
conglomerates, such as CI who own Trigano, Autotrail, Chausson and 
Rollerteam.

Another major european group is Pilote who own six brands includimgh Mooveo, 
Frankia, Le Voyageur and RMB.

Far from going out of business these larger groups seem to be making more 
new models and improving the standards of quality and lowering the cost of 
new motorhomes, as you can now buy a medium size coachbuilts from the budget 
range brands such as Roller Team and Mooveo for well under £30,000.
