PPL in SW Houston usually has a large inventory, and we like to do research there - yesterday was gorgeous weather, and we drove up there to check out some DPs that had some interesting mods.
WELL... by the time we got there, both were sold (neither were great rigs) and the lot was mostly empty of diesels, except for some junkers. They usually have scads of RVs, especially DPs....at least a hundred or so. We saw about 25 on the lot (DPs - we didn’t look at other types). I’d been watching the website since last fall - I’d seen the inventory dropping.
Covid-19 .... they said people were buying up rvs - just wanting to escape Covid. Ehhhh ok.
After the elections, and these people find out how much $$$ and work and inconvenience is involved... will there be a flood of used DPs and other Rvs on the market? Hope so. We’re looking to buy another rig next year, possibly late summer, or fall.
