Gas prices killed a lot of rv business when it went above $4 once before,
That's not an accurate statement. $4 gas didn't help, but there was a lot more going on in '08 and '09 that factored into every industry losing sales. Cars, RVs, boats, etc.
While the speculators are using every excuse to raise the prices above $4, the laws of supply and demand eventually spoil thier plans. We've been reading stories of $5 for a long time now. I've yet to see it. $4.00+ gas won't last too long. It's the psychological breaking point for people. When they see $4, they start changing plans. Gas usage goes down, then the price drops again.
