The manufacturers are telling their stockholders that they can barely keep up with the demand for new RVs.
Yes that are a lot of them sitting on dealer lots, on resale lots.
What I'm seeing most in regions south of St Louis is an increasing number of small 20-40 sized RV parks being built. They are bare bones gravel lots with no amenities except a small two or three washer / dryer laundry.
They are intended for full-time residents who never travel.
My personal opinion is that much of the growth in new RV sales is not for recreation, but as a primary residence for young families with no money for a home or apartment.
Middle ages families squeezed out of homes or apartments by being unable to afford that housing any longer with low wage jobs and poor skill levels.
Older families and seniors without an income to support traditional housing.
Those long term residents are in the new near slums, and more and more people are being forced to that as the only option to being completely homeless.
