Fleetwood Enterprises Inc., the iconic Riverside-based maker of recreational vehicles and manufactured housing that has ferried road-trippers and housed homeowners for 59 years, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

The company announced Tuesday morning that it would keep day-to-day operations of its businesses going while the company shops for a buyer. Its travel trailer division though will be shuttered, affecting 667 employees nationwide including 12 at the company's Rialto service center.

The company laid off another 65 Inland workers in corporate positions Monday. More than 600 workers remain in Riverside.
