RV Production - Fuel prices - Bubble ready to burst?

I found this article in my news feed this morning, an analysis of RV production, the pandemic, rising fuel costs etc.
And some interesting RV production numbers.

Food for thought for us:

RV Production news article
  • The market has softened. Fuel prices is only a contributing factor.
  • Another one of those "writers" who think RVing is all about cost of RVs vs. hotels.

    "The cost of filling Aller-Stead's 40-foot diesel bus has more than doubled in the last year, so the matrix now involves potentially driving and paying for a hotel room, which could cost less in certain situations."
  • Media hype to drum up sales during pandemic, again the hype to encourage sales expecting prices to fall. Salesman on this forum and others laughing all the way to the bank.
  • At least in this area, I think RV sales will be bolstered by those priced out of the housing market and are buying, or considering buying, RVs to live in.
