Don't see that changing regardless of possible fuel price increases IF that happens
True story, but in 2008, I bought our current 07 Dodge diesel almost new for $31k, an almost new $65k boat for $40k and a fire sale on a large chunk of land.
Not everyone lives enough within their means to weather some financial issues.
And not everyone is lucky enough to keep their job in an economic downturn.
IMO, Rona or not, if the gas price doubles, you’ll see 50% less RVs on the road as this year. Partly economic, partly mindset.
It’s cheap, spend.
It’s expensive, can’t afford it.
Many don’t actually run the numbers prior to making decisions.
