Fifth Wheel
Sales Numbers Up for RV and Fifth Wheel Camper Sales
Sales numbers are increasing for RVs and fifth wheel campers. RV Dealers are continuing to experience a rise in sales across the nation during 2010. Last year appears to have been the lowest point of the recession, coming as a long, slow crash after a peak year in 2005.
Dr. Richard Curtain’s analysis, recently published by the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association, believes this year will see a 39% rise above 2009′s sales numbers with more than 249,700 units being shipped. Summer is generally a high point in RV sales and travel and dealers are stocking their inventory accordingly. Consumers are not yet buying in pre-recession numbers but they are slowly starting to spend again.
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.
The highest end RVs can cost well upwards of $100,000 for a used vehicle with some of the most extravagant models topping $2 million. Travel trailers, the least expensive models sell for less than $20,000. There are a wide variety of options that make RVs affordable for most income levels. Fifth wheel prices sit in between travel trailers and Class A RVs. Fifth wheel campers offer the convenience of being able to leave the fifth wheel in the campground while trucking around on excursions.
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.
Many RV buyers were taken on trips with their family when they were kids. Those first experiences instilled a love for adventure and the outdoors. Today, they are look to recreate those experiences with their own families. There is a thrill in stepping into your brand new RV or fifth wheel for the first time.
Freedom is a part of the RV lifestyle. The road is wide open and adventure is waiting to happen. Having a home on wheels offers exploration of all the unique parts of the US, Canada and Mexico.
