learn that the state of the RV business is not that different from the
boat business
There is a RV dealer down the highway from me - he still has 2003
models in stock. I don't know what that means exactly, but...

Why would anyone in his right mind buy an RV these days, with fuel
hovering at $3+ a gallon and the ****-poor mileage those vehicles get?




Same reason why would anyoen buy a decent sized boat. They enjoy the
device. Lots of these RV'ers that full time, do not drive that many
miles a year. Maybe 5000. And at about 7-8 mpg, the extra cost for fuel
is not a big item in the overall cost. And people who use the RV for
weekend trips drive even less a year.


Yeah, driving is so much fun, and driving a barge is even more fun.

Some like RV's, some like the trip, some like wet boats, some like dry
boats. What ever fuels your Johnson.
