We knew it was coming...

Seeing as credit card interest rates are about the most expensive way to borrow, I never charge something to the account where I don't have the funds in a bank account to pay the bill in full.

I do get a bonus in the form of points on the credit card.

To put it simply, there’s a reason I sold the camper last month.
Hedging my bet at more choices and lower prices next year.

Prices are already lower. RV Wholesalers in Ohio had stopped the marketing emails I used to receive 3 or 4 times a week early on into Covid, they started up again about a month ago in full force. The last quote I received from them a year ago for a Rockwood Signature TT was $55 K and change out the door for a 2021. I just had them quote the same model but a 2023 with a few more options and they're at $47K OTD.

That’s great news! I overpaid for a Covid special in 2021 and sold it for purchase price last month. I was sort of surprised. Helps that there’s too many people up here with more money than brains I suppose.

Yes, we are likely to see the RV market take a big dive. Tricky part is trying to time it.

Well there is THIS , and the reports going back months but when the dive is admitted to that's when you'll know. The RV industries propaganda arms, the RVIA and to a lesser extent the RVDA, are pros at painting a rosy picture as long as possible even when they know the sheet is hitting the fan.

Pricing drops are likely what most of the folks on this thread care about and they don't perfectly mirror actual sales. There is often a lag between sales changing and prices changing. How long that lag is...who knows but I have little doubt it will happen.

Got a source for this?

I know European countries were spending like mad. Even Thailand was paying for locals to stay at the hotels to keep them afloat.

Everyone was throwing money around like mad.

Not true, but believe what you want.

Looks like Saudi Arabia and China will sit this one out. Others not so lucky. CLICKY
The US kind of lands in the middle.

But you can always believe what you want

The market and prices will do what they do. Go up, go down, As it is now, it has been before. Where it ends up, it has been before. That's economics. I have an older truck and camper. Save The Money! Both serve me very well. Looking forward to another 3 months on the road soon in my faithful, paid off Truck and Camper. Truck Camper Rally in Quartzite February for one. See some of you there!

I am letting this thread run, but you guys need to back off the politics and keep the economics focus if you want it to continue. I understand the two intertwine, but management does not want politics on this forum.
