The buyers market

Comparing the predictions in THIS ARTICLE to the chart below, it looks like RV shipments and sales are going back almost to the numbers during the 08 recession and right around the numbers from 23 years ago. Its surely transitioning to a buyers market, and those who purchased at the inflated prices the last few years are going to be in a world of poop. On a side note one of Forest Rivers largest divisions, Rockwood/Flagstaff, is shutting down all production for the entire month of July and the talk on the street is plenty of others will be following suit.

  • Haven't done any RV shopping lately but I would suspect it already is a buyers market. All dealer lots in the area are packed completely full of units. And have been for the last year or so. No surprise manufacturers would be cutting back.

    Looks like a pattern. Figure out what other factors are involved - and you could have a great economic predictor!

    Well, maybe...
  • Doesn't look to me like 2022 shipments are anywhere close to those of 2008/2010.
