Yep. Absolutely a COVID thing. New RV production went down last year (just like many things). And with air travel so........difficult right now, people are looking for other ways to recreate.
Any "toy" is stupid high in price. RVs, boats, ATVs, sports cars, you name it. At some point (hopefully soon), things will change and values will go back down to reality. My guess is maybe this time next year, but not likely sooner.
I agree. Covid shut down conventional travel and everyone started gobbling up RV's. Demand is very high. Supply chains broke down and RV production dropped off so supply is low. I think once things get back to normal we'll see the market saturated with used RV's and prices will fall off.
It's also affecting reservations at CG's. Places we usually have no problem just showing up are booked solid months in advance. There are More Rv'ers than ever - more than CG's sites. My friend calls them COVID Campers.
