subject: Buyer's Interest Increases For Rvs And Fifth Wheel Campers [print this page] After a disconcerting recession that saw a loss of jobs for those in the RV industry, the economy is finally starting to turn around for RVs and fifth wheel campers. Throughout the nation, RV dealers are reporting more RV sales. January saw an increase in sales and the trend had stayed strong as the months pass.
The Recreational Vehicle Industry Association published the results of Dr. Richard Curtain's forecast for the coming years in regards to RV sales. What he found was an increase over last year by 39% and the probability of 249,700 shipments during 2010. His forecast came as a welcome announcement to the RV Industry that is only beginning to expand operations after many businesses laid off employees last year.
Curtain believes this recovery will differ from previous recoveries in that the economy will not bounce back quickly, but will be filled with a series of highs and lows. Consumers appear to be more timid with their spending and are tending towards lighter towables and more aerodynamic models, which increase fuel efficiency.
RVs and fifth wheel campers are also holding their ground as sales on the more expensive items are beginning to grow again. The new Ambassadors of Affordability created by GoRving for their advertisements are helping those who might be interested in purchasing an RV understand that RV vacations are affordable and create lasting family bonds. These cute critters were received favorably by audiences and have been featured in commercials during the Olympics and NASCAR.
Class A RVs are the most expensive RVs on the market as they embody top-of-the-line luxury features. They can be had for prices that vary between $100,000 and $2,000,000. Fortunately there are RVs for all income brackets with travel trailers selling for less than $20,000 and fifth wheel campers running the middle of the road around $50,000.
Some people enjoy having more than creature comforts on the road, they like a little luxury such as entertainment systems, cherry wood cabinetry, a bathtub and more. Other people are content with a bathroom and a bed. Regardless of taste, there is an RV waiting.
Most people became familiar with the RV lifestyle as kids when their parents used to take them on summer vacations in the RV. RV travel lets people experience some of the United States' greatest treasures including National and State Parks, undeveloped wilderness, carnival attractions, fairs and more. For baby boomers, the idea of summering in the south and wintering in the north can become a reality by loading up the RV.
Traveling by RV or fifth wheel camper is a rite of passage for many Americans, creating a sense of freedom. As airplanes charge for every little amenity from baggage to food, RVs can be stocked at home and can take you anywhere, cheaper.
