Then there are all the "beyond usable condition" units left on the side of back roads and in fields everywhere.

Perhaps it is time the industry slowed a little.

I make note of this as well. Brand new trucks and campers in most campsites. tons of campers clogging up the freeway on the weekends. I also live in an area with alot of lakes. Theres seems to be a saturation of $180k+ wakeboard/surf boats. Everyone has a brand new pontoon ect.... seems too good to be true!

Saw a lot of the same right before the last big bust. ATV sales places all around town, toys for everyone, then poof.

I used to snowmobile a lot more. We loved riding during the last recession. the trails were always empty. Hotels were cheap and plentiful. It was great! BUT i was early 20's and lived at home. The next one probably won't be so fun as an adult lol.

Home Depot CFO doesn't see a recession coming

Of course he does not see any slowdown, his main job is to sell the company to the big money changers, so as to boost the stock prices, so his golden safety net is very secure.

wont take much to pop this bubble.(not just for rv's here) and it will be a big blow.
time for this nation to slowdown big time, take a couple breaths, look around and then just walk... not sprint.

There might be some truth to this thought. However, there IS a lot of recession noise going around currently, so until the politicians get done blabbering, let's just get a beverage and watch the slap fight.

"RVs can range in price from about $12,000 for a folding camping trailer to $212,000 for a high-end motor home ..." some real in depth research there! Not!
