Sales will be great again after the re-election of Donald trump. Sales will tank even further if Democrats win.

or people don’t like camping

They are slipping cause there are aleady millions of those sitting in people’s yards and on the roads. Very few people use them after a few times. Market saturated

Why is the media so giddy to push America towards a recession?

You can mock, but RV sales as an economic indicator is a real thing. I've been tracking since I read this article.

Click bait

This does not appeal to the younger generation anymore. Can you say UBER..........Who would drive it

Longest bull market in history time to chill maybe

The most significant economic indicator since the Roman Chariots

A lot of the population may not be the RV type (camping/boating/motorcycle) but that industry IS (and historically has been) an excellent indicator of the economy. You may not like it, but should heed the data.

Reaching for bad news.

Nonsense

Oversold & a huge inventory nationwide / expensive to store when not using which is most of the time! Why not stay at a vacation paradise, much cheaper?

Again, flashing for more than a year now.

The RV industry has enjoyed several years of robust double digit increases for RV OEMs and dealers, because of our strong economy. This describes a slower retail growth rate being responded to with a manufacturing adjustment; not a recession.

Cheap suits!

'The RV industry is better at calling recessions than ECONOMISTS are,” said Michael Hicks, an ECONOMIST...' hey do you see the TAUTOLOGY or not

Oh no. A crappy annoying vehicle that pollutes a ton and takes up too much unnecessary space is not selling as much. Whatever will we do.....

Keep those fingers crossed for that recession, liberals, it's your only hope.

I knew Trump would ruin the economy.

Oh yes, the traditional RV lot market index. is propaganda

Hello!!!

I would say that the fact this is an indicator we use to judge the economy is also an indicator of the way we’ve built our economy around wealthy old white people. RVs?

Stop. Just stop.

This BS again? We told you the other day you were wrong to post this.

or are people just realizing that vacationing in a small box on wheels is a pain in the ass

........ I’m completely convinced that everyone is trying to initiate a recession just so Trump can’t flaunt the economy on the campaign trail

Recession or RV saturation?

If a country thrives with low unemployment, low interest rates, and low oil prices all while under a deficit and not from a surplus, then chances are 2008-09 will occur again but with three times the effects

Quick, Trump is polling too high.... whadda we still got in the tank?!

ohh shittt this is very bed

Ayman Mohyeldin in for Joy Reid and panel discuss the widespread economic fear that a recession is imminent after a wild week on Wall Street. I'm so dizzy...too much spinning to keep up with. Lol In 2007 Kudlow wrote: “There’s no recession coming … the pessimistas were wrong. It’s not going to happen ... The Bush boom is alive and well. It’s finishing up its sixth consecutive year with more to come. Yes, it’s still the greatest story never told.” That was a huge miss. One was drunk and one just acts that way.
