RV sales soar despite high gas prices
Gas prices are climbing higher again, but some Americans are still choosing to spend their summer vacations on the road, specifically in motor homes and trailers. The Recreational Vehicle Industry Association reports that close to 400,000 RVs were sold in 2006, the most in 28 years.
In addition, an RV dealer in Pueblo West says his business is $300,000 ahead in sales compared to last year. "It's taken off more than I expected especially with gas prices, you really think that its going to affect the RV industry and there are certain parts that taken hits, but progressively its just slowly gotten better ever single year so far," said Ryan Zabukovic, Manager of Zabukovic Motors.
Even though most RVs are gas guzzlers, owners say they save money in other areas. For example, RV owners point out they don't have to pay for hotel rooms.
