The recreational vehicle business is suffering a downfall these years. Last year the gas prices jumped high and made it impossible for people to start their travels on Memorial Day. Many of them gave up the ideas of purchasing an RV and those who already had one sought for a place to sell. Hard economics times this year make people more concerned about keeping the houses, current vehicles and jobs and not about a purchase of a new RV. Credit restrictions are also part of the problem, since rules changed and many people faces downfall of their credit score, there are not many buyers qualified for the RV purchase.

Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) has reported that RV shipments to the dealerships in 2008 were 32.9 percent lower than in 2007, it is expected to be even lower in 2009.

However, there is hope for the long time future. Richard Coon, the president of RVIA says, “Primary demand for RVs remains strong. RV show attendance and sales this year have been encouraging. Sales at shows across the country exceeded expectations”.
