Many of us were newbs before the net...so we learned the hard way what works best for my needs and what didn't.
This web doesn't have a very good "search feature" so..... Some questions are better answered by doing a google.
The rv industry has had lots of feast and famine events over the years I've camped since the late '50s.
The '70s/'80s era had huge jumps in inflation. Example; a new 9' 6" truck camper was 1350 bucks in '72 but the same exact truck camper in the early '80s went for 6800-7200 bucks. Prices never went down and I don't look for new rv prices to drop over a few hundred dollars....if any.
Used units.....JMO will go at premium prices just like other years of ups and downs.
