Recession?

[sanda]

The good news is prices are dropping. The bad news is our economy is in the toilet.

A warning sign has been flashing red: How weak RV sales could mean a 2023 recession.

A recession warning sign has been flashing red. RV sales have weakened dramatically in recent months, possibly indicating a downturn.

And waiting to be flushed I'm afraid. Keep your powder dry my friends

Anyone who gets caught by surprise by this must have been asleep the last couple of years.

The government keeps says no recession coming. Heck it is already here.

Truthful Government is an Oxymoron. What ever they tell you, do the opposite.

That G word is not allowed here...jus'sayin

We can't fix it, let's go RVing instead

And that is why some people may be caught off guard. But I like what Neal said! we can't change what's coming, we can only know it's coming, so eat pizza, drink wine, and go on an RV expedition, for tomorrow we might not!

. . .so eat pizza, drink wine, and go on an RV expedition, for tomorrow we might not!

And there you go! I'm on it Kevin!

Trying to remember...is this the time to sell while prices are falling?

Am at the Tampa Super RV Show. Today was opening day.
From the size of the crowds, parking lots full, & folks shoulder to shoulder in the Venue!
Seeing the number of RV's with "Sold" signs already in them.....I'm not sure what to think!
Thought economy was slowing. RV Trader shows signs of a slower market, BUT you'd never know it by seeing people spending money today! Accessory Vendors appeared to be doing a booming business!
I'm not sure what to think.
Looking at the prices on these new Newmar coaches, as well as competitor's prices, all I can say is WOW!!
Gonna look at some RV accessory "toys", ogle all these high dollar coaches, & enjoy the friendship as well as fellowship with the other 209 Newmar owners here at our Rally!

Guess that depends on how far you expect it to go

Guess that depends on how far you expect it to go

Or how fast you expect it to get there.

It is interesting but we don't know what the sellers were offering, i.e. huge discounts to move inventory or did they preserve the high costs? I imagine these dealers lots don't have enough room for the inventory so they have to move them, or I could be completely wrong! Love the one ya got!

Edit: I read one of my RV newsletters that come to my inbox recently, it mentioned RV travel is still expected to be high in the year ahead and possibly grow. It may be the remote work concept driving it. I don't have the article...
