I absolutely agree with you but I was not talking about "us" but
"them" and those "them folks" (them-thar folks) are people with likely
way less retirement income to afford these rigs. But, as you do, I
have justified the expense because there is no other more fun way to
travel in such luxury. Besides, there are very few Hotel Rooms
(except maybe the Boss's Suite in Paris that he let me use, because he
was not in town, back in the 80's) that come close to our suite ride.
Them thar folks, though, will be looking at $6 fuel and will be turned
off. I am talking Class C buyers or families who up to now could
justify letting their RV's sit most of the time and then still drive
around on relatively cheap fuel. We have close friends quite a bit
younger than we are who own one of those Jayco Diesel rigs and they
are rarely using it and he did mention that now with fuel up so high
that they might dump it because of many reasons including the
depreciation and fuel expense.
Anyway, Dave, take a goosey-gander at the latest RV sales figure, and
the manufacturer'
might be driving a bit of that.
But, I agree with you: even at $6 a gallon, that would just double
our fuel costs and we might drive a bit less. But, this is one of
our chosen things to do and we stubbornly refuse to let high fuel
prices keep us from enjoying it.
