Hyperinflating RV prices and people who pay any price

Yeah, I was going to buy a new camper but I just can't justify the price. I think I'll use the 5th wheel this summer and sell it off in the fall and wait a year or so to buy something else. I like to "buy low, sell high," and that's the opposite of what's going on right now. I think there will be a ton of cheap RVs in the future.

It feels like the market is slowing down a bit, my local dealer has a few more used units than they did a couple months ago, but prices are still high. Don't count on buying anything at NADA book value these days. And while it used to be that the dealer advertised price was just the upper starting price and you can talk it down, it's the opposite now. I called a dealer about a unit that was advertised to see if he'd come down in price at all. He apologized about not taking the ad down sooner, it was already sold for cash price 10% over their advertised price since a couple people got into a bidding war.

I'll give it a year and check back to see how the market is doing.

There are very few used campers I see that I'd even be interested in. Most are rotboxes. This guy wants $15,000 for a mold infested, delaminated POS. Are people really that stupid to even buy something like this? I wouldn't want it at any price. It's ruined.
