The RV industry is the newest casualty of the economic slump.

just came across this interesting article on the RV industry
RV slump
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...

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!
