According to RIVA sales for 2017 we big. 17.2% more than 2016. 2018 is projected to be better. Even if it's not better, the total will still be huge. I still see too many sales to see relief from overcrowding. The last few years, along with cheap gas and a stable economy will keep the crowds heavy at CG's and RV parks. Time to start scouting out boondocking spots. :)

I saw that article too, but wouldn't rush to buy. Just because their stick dropped due to high inventory, doesn't mean good deals. Dealers can cut margins, the factory can slow down, and other steps are feasible. Whenever inventory gets unreasonably high, then the deals will start. The industry will also try to wait it out until after the spring buying season.

The RV industry has been running at full tilt for quite some time. This may be an indicator the economy is beginning to slow down, or simply the industry produced too many units and they'll be taking a blood bath until inventory is back to normal levels.

...or perhaps a backlash against the industry flipping off buyers when so many units require repairs off the line and then take months to fix?

RV buyers have been getting stiffed for some time without any balance.

I don't care how cheap they are, I wouldn't buy anything with the Thor label on it.
