Have any noticed that RV prices are dropping like a rock,I saw a 99 Prevost low mileage factory conversion for sale listed under 100G,lol every bus I look at says reduced in price,fuel is taking a toll I don't see people saying any more "if you worry about the price of fuel you shouldn't own a bus." Oil is over $92.00 a barrel and rising today.EV are paying the price too at the superchargers for Telsa in Needles those people are paying $35.00+ for a friggn charge,a owner told me the only way you can come out is charge at home for 8 or 9 bucks,but it takes a few days
Keep posting as you see more changes in pricing and inventory levels. The long awaited recession is hopefully taking hold, slacking consumer demand, and the long awaited Fed pause holds. Discretionary purchases like RV should get impacted for sure. Awhile back I looked at RV manufacturer reports and production was down.

I see on another bus group that Christy Hicks is selling her 91' Beaver for 100 grand.
Listening the Warren Buffet and Charlie last night on you-tube. They are saying that we are going into an "unpleasant" time soon and that people are stretched thin again using CC' s and their refi if they can get one. Most will not be able to because of high debt to earnings ratios.

I know what Larry and Christy paid for that Prevost I hope they get the 100 grand but doubt it happening
If I were rich, I would buy up every bus I could find at these depressed levels. Once everyone goes to Electric Vehicles in California and the price of fuel drops back down to around $1.00/gallon, these buses will be a hot commodity. ;D
Wait another 6 months Gary you will get a better deal

Hummm. Good point Cliff.
@Van - the proper term is sold, not selling, when throwing out a number. Sticking at that price means one more RV sinking into the side yard, worth nothing, and having to pay someone to dig it out and haul it away.
@Dave - I totally agree with the thesis that consumers are in for a rude awakening when they keep spending, run up their CC, and find the well travelled HELOC and refinancing avenues are now unpassable. I do believe it will get ugly pretty quick. That's the reason to watch RV sales slow and prices drop, maybe a lot, cars too. well real estate too. lol
@Gary - send me a few sampler pills you are chewing on. Maybe you've upgraded to magic mushrooms - a buck a gallon, yeah right.
No need to look at youtube for fueling up. Here's mine from last week. And that was driving twenty miles to get the cheapest. Took three tries, the bank was warning me to stop, I just stuck it in again and kept on pumping. Just drove by one pump yesterday - $6.80. Paying a grand to fill an RV must put the huert on some folks.
;Dthat's only a half a tank of fuel, hope you put it to good use ;)
