Hipsters go Glamping and RV Makers Soar

[TimHolt]

"For anyone who has gotten stuck on a mountain road behind a massive recreational vehicle, get used to it, there are a lot more on the highway.

Recreational vehicles, ranging from bus-sized motor homes to retro trailers, have been a boom-and-bust industry since they first became popular in the early 1970s. Now a wave of retiring baby boomers and a surprisingly young new fan base have sent U.S. unit sales above their housing boom peak. Shares of the two leading manufacturers of RVs, Thor Industries THO -1.28% and smaller Winnebago Industries , WGO -1.37% each hit records last week."

Yep. "Camping" isn't quite as much fun as was a few years ago.

If you think they were making crappy RV's before just wait till this next round comes out.. making my used buy a good choice.. now the crowds will be crazy this summer...


It may be fun to have camper backup bloopers... Like boat ramp bloopers... good stuff!
