So the economy is not performing at its peak these days but that does not mean that people are not interested in RVs. The annual RV shows recently showed some impressive numbers: 44,000 people attended the Florida RV Super Show; 35,000 came out for the Utah RV Show; and 30,000 showed up for the Maryland RV Show.

And this is not just about people coming to gawk. They are buying.

“Our sales were up 20 percent over last year’s (Maryland RV) show,” says Charlie Wolf, sales manager for Beckley’s Camping Center. “People are still buying RVs. They still want to go camping, get away and have fun.”

Not bad for an industry that conventional wisdom says should be at a virtual stand-still.

Probably the most common image among average consumers of RV travel is of huge costs. Ponderous motorhomes or massive luxury fifth wheels that require trucks with tonnage in the name.

But single digit mileage and CDL skills are no longer needed with some of the RV models out today. Some travel trailers and many campers are compact enough and aerodynamically designed so that all you need to haul them is a tow package on your modest-sized car.

Even motorhomes have made strides in this area with some clocking in with a 25% improvement in gas efficiency. In fact, RV travel is among the very cheapest way to travel!

When you’re on the prowl for adventure, nothing is better suited than a Puma Travel Trailer. These powerfully-built, easily towed travel trailers make the adventure fun and carefree. Puma offers 22 floor plan choices including a variety of kids’ bunk room models. Satellite TV hook-up is standard on all models to keep everyone entertained.

Puma’s beautifully designed interiors integrate space, style, and comfort to give you the best of everything – generous living space, convenient features and lush comforts. An abundance of storage is found through out enhanced by handsome arch style cabinet doors and solid wood drawers. In the bed and bath area, the residential style shower includes an over head skylight for natural lighting.

At Starcraft they call it Starcraftsmanship. It’s a working philosophy that starts with research and design and carries all the way through production to sales ans service. It’s their way of bringing you more in terms of value, service and warranty.

It’s a standard of excellence, a frame of mind. When you take the best ideas, designs, materials and people and put them all together, year after year, you earn a rputation. That rep goes on the line everytime another Starcraft RV is sold.

Looking for the perfect expandable? Starcraft’s got it with the Star Stream. Their models have two large fold-down bunks – one in the front and the other on the side. Additional standard equipment includes a full bath, complete kitchen, large pantry and plenty of storage.
