At what $/gallon would it slow you down?
Not just a B-van question. I've been looking thru videos on RV's overseas. Of course they are much smaller due to fuel costs, road conditions and land values, among other reasons, I'm sure. It's ki...

If you really think prices could triple over the next 10 years, buy oil futures and you won't have to worry about it. There would be a barn load of cheap used motor homes sitting around on dealer's lots if that were to happen, trailers would probably sell as people would be living in them. The "middle class" retirees if on a fixed income would be lucky to afford food, heat, and electricity let alone going camping or traveling. There would be plenty of seats available on air flights also. There would be such a significant cost impact on everything that crime would most likely get out of control. Buys those guns and ammo while you can. Enjoy your RV while you can. OP see what you started, everyone is going to be depressed over this topic and will be selling their RV's to buy and hoard gold.

I don't know. We just returned from Europe. Fuel is more than double the price there and camping and RVing is extremely popular there. I saw more RVs on the road in France and Germany than on the road here. Campgrounds packed and lots of them. In Spain as well. No mahem or lawlessness, in fact a much lower violent crime rate. We are just used to fuel being pretty much free on this side of the pond. No real price increase in the last 7 years. We are just a little spoiled. Higher prices would probably just force us to innovate a little more like they have in Europe. Maybe drive more fuel efficient vehicles like they do there. I don't seem doom and gloom with higher fuel prices. Just inovation and evolution.
JMHO.
