RV shows demonstrate all of the new RVs going onto the RV sales market for the next year to interested buyers as well as RV franchise representatives. RVs have become quite luxurious.



Because RVs are luxury items the price can vary anywhere from $50,000 to more over a million dollars depending on what amenities they include. RV sales and the RV franchise industry are considered barometers for the American sales economy in general. The RV industry is often out in front of American economic trends because it deals with disposable income.

Last year was an extremely good year for RV sales. This year RV sales were a little slower than last year, but they started picking up over the summer and into the fall. RV sales are not letting up as the RV off-season begins; next year should be really strong for RV sales.

RV industry analysts claim that more RV's were shipped out in the first half of 2006 than any other time in the past 30 years. A rise in RV sales also impact gas pump sales as well. When gas prices started rising quickly earlier in the year, it slowed down RV sales for a few weeks. While RVs do take a lot of gas, you're getting so much enjoyment out of the RV that it is worth it.
