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.
