I said probably but really, I hope so is the right answer.

I say we are headed for better days. Will they be as good as 3 years ago, probably not for a while. Many RV companies are beginning to call works back to work and this will become a domino effect to help other businesses. Put people back to work and the economy will do better. It took years to bring the economy down, now give it time to recover. Fuel prices will stay up so get used to the higher prices.

As long as we have people in the goverment that do not have aney idea what a tank of fuel cost and what some of us had to do without to afford our rvs so we could enjoy retirement we will have the idiocy we see in gov.now.

The problems we have now is fuel costs across most of the west and on top of that the camping fees keep rising. Under the wonderful leadership of the Governor here in California we will take another hit this coming month. I now find it less expensive to travel out of state for a 4 or 5 day stay, including fuel.Thats what happens when someone is elected to office that does not understand the true family value of a low cost outdoor activity.Plus the loss of revenue to all the near by small business.

I believe that it has bottomed out--but not sure if it will come back very fast. Gas prices are still high and going higher

The bottom probably has been reached, but it is probably muddy and wide, with a slippery slope on the other side.

I believe that Wall Street, RV sales, and the economy in general are responding to the flow of money FROM the government. By the end of the year, they will begin to react to the flow of money TO the government to pay for the stimulus packages. This second reaction will slow, stop and reverse all the gains we are now seeing. That portion of the recession will be a long shallow slope down until we finally pay off all the frivalous spending of 2008/2009.
