The 30 percent figure, which is actually 33 percent, came from the Population Reference Bureau using Census figures.
It's a real figure.
I stated the above clearly in one of my followup posts in this thread. Once again I wonder how carefully some read and understand what has been written.
My contention as I have stated numerous times is that Whatever percentage of Baby boomers RV can be extrapolated to this 33 percent figure and some of those will be in the "frinds" situation. This still amounts to hundreds of thousands of potential customers.
My second contention which seems to be conveniently ignored by some here is that the RV manufacturers with their dismal record of catching on to the new trend, design, process etc is probably behind the curve on this too.
Now it is curious to me why so many of the posters here seem to have this Godlike confidence in the RV industry? These are the same guys making outdated poorly constructed products that most of you love to complain about. What on earth gives you confidence that they are on to a new or at least rising trend?
So your defense of them here is at best baffling.
And finally I am still the only one who has provided any data to support my claims, yet they are still ignored and misstated.
At least I have a foundation of experience and numbers as a basis for my opinion.
