How much impact are gas prices having on RV sales? According a story on Sun Herald.com, gas prices are having little effect on dedicated RV owners. The RVIA expects a modest decrease in sales, but expects 2007 to be the fourth best in the past 30 years.
Many RVers feel the flexibility and comfort of RV travel far outweighs any pinch they feel at they fuel pump. To offset the impact of fuel costs, RV travelers are traveling to destinations closer to home and staying longer in parks.
While retirees are still the bulk of RV buyers, younger buyers in their 30s are showing interest RVing and expanding the market for RV dealers and maunfacturers.
What do you think? Have fuel costs changed your RV plans? Do you plan to buy a new RV in the future? Tell us your story and leave a comment.

I hope the authors are correct in their assessment of the future of the RV industry. I am looking for a park to purchase in the North West and will be putting my life savings at risk.
