I think WL eventually concentrated exclusively on selling books, cassette tapes, pamphlets, and VHS tapes because he realized he just wasn't very good at selling anything else.
Had the other manufacturing/marketing enterprises turned up golden they likely would have been continued as well. Instead, WL was stuck with the only thing he was good at making money from. I think that he would have also been "motor home builder of the age" if he could have made that one work, as well.
