They might be wishing the same when you book a site.

The economy is currently on a Nantucket sleigh ride. That wealth effect that many people felt is vanishing at a steady pace. RVING is a luxury that is getting harder and harder to justify in today’s economy for many.

This week the FED will increase interest rates again, and start shredding money via bond selling. Don’t fight the FED if you know what’s good for you.

Once the market adjusts deals will be available negotiate don't overpay, inflation is BS. Everyone is taking advantage of Covid and shortage hype to increase prices. Don't be surprise dealers will beg for customers/go out business, history will repeat itself.

Caveman -- "affordable" is subjective relative to the person buying the RV. The "high end" with more luxury options or custom RVs don't seem to be having much of a problem. But, then again, that is true most any time of the year.

From south LA to TN there is no shortage of RVs. That covers all classes.

No shortage,, but are they affordable ?? Maybe the reasons the lots are full are because people aren't willing to pay inflated prices !

Snowpeke, you would think!! But maybe these retirees were spending their kids' inheritance.

With gas prices I think sales would be down.

Ro'n'Joe -- Beach and I went to the Myrtle Beach RV Show back in October; Newmar had the sold sign on nearly all their units before we left. Newmar even had desks set up for their salesmen to complete paperwork, and there was a line, a very popular brand. I can understand why they are low on inventory and was impressed. If we had the tow vehicle for one of their fifth wheels, I would have bought it. Also, their motorhomes are high tech, such as improvements in turning radius. They have built a "better mouse trap."

Not the case with Newmar. Dealer allotments cut way back and the reason why they aren't willing to deal. Was at the factory 2wks ago and one guy got just 16% off MSRP on his Dutch Star
