IMHO the great recession caused RV sales to tank, then as disposable income increased RV sales went up to replace old units and people new to camping who now have money. The market is now saturated so sales had to slow down at some point. There are other factors like kids living at home until they are 30+, lower pay rates and reduced work hours, which also traces back to the recession. Don't forget people under 50 have to save more because Social Security is no longer guaranteed to stay at the current levels. They don't have pensions they have 401Ks which are certainly not guaranteed. After this terrible year on Wall Street the smart ones are putting their money in the bank.
