According to this article:
https://www.rvia.org/reports-trends
It would appear that 2019 year over year sales are down about 25% from 2018. 2017 as you may remember was a record year with 2018 declining about 5%.
Any ideas on how that will impact the used market? My first thought was maybe people are buying used and then I thought better. I think the economy has been strong for a while and the people that wanted an RV bought one??? Maybe the increases in camp ground fees lead many to realize how expensive this vacation really is. I mean until you buy and maintain the coach, fill it with fuel and THEN pay anywhere from $40 at a local Mom and Pop to Fort Wilderness $130+ a night, it gets a little salty!! Oh and that's before you towed a dingy.
Funny now that I am looking again I notice there are very few 2009's for sale which I assume is because the economy was so badd in 2009 that people just didn't buy many new RV's.
