To have bought the rig in the first place is almost proof positive they are not teetering on the poverty line. In some regards, bad economic times increase RV travel. It's cheaper to camp then to fly and spend two weeks in Europe. A Week at Smoky Mountain National Park is cheaper than a week at Disneyworld. While no recreational oriented business is recession-proof, RVing comes somewhat close.
