JUNCTION CITY, Ore.-- A federal judge ordered Country Coach into Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection on Thursday.  This comes one month after the majority owner filed a petition to put the company into involuntary bankruptcy.  The Chapter 11 filing puts the company under the protection of the bankruptcy court while they attempt to reogranize their assets.
