    I agree with all his points. This isn't something that most will be able to suddenly say, lets go RVing. I'm seeing frustrations pop up in forums and on FB, my toilet has a small drip and it's been at the dealer for 6 weeks. A friend, who is physically unable to work on his trailer, has an appointment in JULY to have wheel bearings repacked. I offered to help, he said it can wait, he's not going anywhere for awhile.

    Both the dealer that sold us the TT, and the one we ordered our 5th wheel from said 2021 sales will be lower than 2020. Instead of having inventory filling the lot, they are starting without much inventory.
