Except that the price increases this time, which were massive, came in a short time period, and amounted to 30 to 40 %. Typically yearly price increases on RVs were hundreds or a thousand bucks, not $10,000.00 or $15,000.00. First because of Covid, and then because of materials pricing like $40 sheets of 1/2" OSB which could be had for $5.00 prior to Covid. When the economy tanks (which is happening now) those materials prices will drop like a rock. The Covid RV sales boom in long over, which saturated the market.
