We have a constant stream of new units coming into and out of the dealership where I work. Looks like things are in fine shape in my neck of the woods. I also don't believe anything the media says.
You're in Arizona.....the second largest snowbird attractor for retired geezers behind Florida. Once the temps drop below 50 in Northern states, and campgrounds turn the water off and lock the gates, the sales drop faster than the temperatures lol. Thats why they have RV shows in Jan/Feb. A friend here in PA who is a second generation dealer does not order in a unit for lot stock after July unless its a special order for a buyer. He starts ordering lot stock after the Pittsburgh RV show in January for delivery in late March or April. For every one he sells at the show he typically orders 2 more for lot stock for the remainder of the season and based on how the stock sells he may order more mid summer, but nothing after Aug 1.
