I was in Quartzite last winter for the first time. They told me the numbers were up a bit. I thought it was crowded they said there were thousands more people years ago. Many said it was due to the 2008 recession and people not having the money to buy an RV or afford the fuel any longer. Another reason was the group that can afford RV's are getting to old. I'm sure the lack of pensions and a secure retirement will also effect it greatly. I don't know anyone else in my husband or my graduating classes in 64 that have a motorhome. Maybe a TT but none that I know of that winter someplace. There could be and we just are not aware.
Yet I'm trying to make a reservation in south Florida for 3 months and am having trouble finding someplace. I would imagine all the people running across the border could be effecting it down in south Texas.
I was on Padre Island some years ago and they said the recession just killed the businesses there, most of the businesses were closed. I know RV sales are way up so maybe things are changing. It's an expensive hobby for sure.
