just came across this interesting article on the RV industry
RV slump (http://www.slate.com/id/2191492?wpisrc=newsletter)
sounds like by the end of the year, there are going to be some great RV buys ;)
Page B1 of the May 13th The Wall Street Journal also has a great article about the tight squeeze on RV makers.
I myself am glad that we own a pop-up. We aren't restricted by high motel/hotel prices, (reservations required ), and we sure don't have to FLY anywhere. Shelp the pop-up to a nice quiet campground, set up home-away-from-home and relax....sounds like a vacation to me... :D
Last month my 'ole fishing buddy and myself towed the little Starcraft from the coast to the mountains for our annual spring fly fishing get-together. Good thing my buddy was along as we split the costs. Gas was about double compared to the year before.
What was significant is that enroute we came across a convoy of motor homes heading west, too. Kinda think maybe there was a get together at Myrtle Beach and they were heading home (or maybe to another group destinatrion!). I just can't imagine their gas bill for the same mileage we towed the Starcraft.
In the past I've made a lot of these trips solo and met up with the gang, but with today's gas pricing, got to have company!
