Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Business Segments
Business Segments
We report segment information based on the "management" approach defined in ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of our reportable segments.

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2017, we revised our reporting segments. Previously we had one reporting segment which included all recreational vehicle products and services. With the acquisition of Grand Design in the first quarter of Fiscal 2017, we expanded the number of reporting segments to two: (1) Motorized products and services and (2) Towable products and services. The Towable segment includes all products which are not motorized and are generally towed by another vehicle. The Motorized segment includes all products that include a motorized chassis as well as other related manufactured products. Prior year segment information has been restated to conform to the current reporting segment presentation.

We organize our business reporting on a product basis. Each reportable segment is managed separately to better align to our customers, distribution partners and the unique market dynamics of the product groups. The accounting policies of both reportable segments are the same and described in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies".

We evaluate the performance of our reportable segments based on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other adjustments made in order to present comparable results from period to period. Examples of items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA include the postretirement health care benefit income resulting from the plan amendments over the past several years, favorable legal settlements including our Fiscal 2016 Australia trademark settlement, and transaction costs related to our pending acquisition of Grand Design RV.

The following table shows information by reporting segment for Fiscal 2017, Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015:
