    I think a lot of the reason RV's aren't selling is because it's too hard to get a loan for them now .

    Yup, you're right there for sure. More going on here because I KNOW ###### well they would if they could and drive like idiots all over creation no matter what is going on. Like I said before the ONLY thing that will stop people from driving their cars even is either a nuclear bomb, the bank, or no gas.

    I really wonder about anybody who would go (further) into debt right now to by an RV, or ATV, or any of the water toys. While I know there are many "smokin' deals" out there right now on these things, it just doesn't seem to me like a wise decision.
     
    Texas-Nana Thanks this.

    I did forget to add that fleetwood was down from november to january due to the fact that GE International pulled the plug on financing for the dealers that sold fleetwood trailers, so that might have been the start of the fall for fleetwood, as only banks would maybe finance then but doubtful.

    Well, our Sportsmans Warehouse is still open in St. George, UT. But there have been other sporting goods stores that have closed up recently here.

    Things just are not real pretty right now.:biggrin_25512:
