Not to start a trade war or anything, lol, but isn't the high price of RV's in Canada more attributable to the social assistance programs, i.e. "free" health care, stifling taxes, and flat value of the Canadian Dollar, which makes almost everything in Canada more expensive than the U.S., more the reason for higher prices when compared to the U.S. than being a small market? The density of population in Ontario from Toronto to Buffalo, NY should create a robust healthy competition of competing Canadian dealers if not for the economic and social differences between the two countries that create these higher priced RV's of all sizes.
Nothing to do with "social assistance programs" and we don't even have food stamps like the usa; Health care costs are mostly absorbed by taxes for sure(liquor, cigarettes.gasoline)all dental,some eye and most all medicines we pay for personally;; your medical premiums (under 65) are killing most americans; Our dollar at 25%$ less value to the us dollar is 99% to blame for higher RV prices; everything more expensive? some stuff is some not; remember we only have 33 million people and you guys have 325 million ; used and new DP are not near as abundant up here as the us so supply and demand will often tend to make higher prices; 99% don't want the bother to go to the us and will buy a RV mostly near where they live
