Number of RVs on the Road Drops Due to Fuel Costs
Over the past 6 months we have noticed a huge drop in Recreational Vehicles on the road. Why you ask? Well it is quite simple really with gasoline and diesel prices over $3.00 per gallon in the United States. Here in Virginia we talked to one RV sales person who works at an RV lot on one of the major freeways. He told us he use to see one or two RVs per minute and he said now you are lucky if you see one every 10-minutes.
In Springfield, Missouri a Wal-Mart Security guard noted that usually over night there use to be over 10-15 motor homes in the parking lot and then they would leave in the morning, now barely one or two he said. Why? Well he guessed it too, the price of gas I reckon is what he said.
Indeed, it is the price of fuel and it is also showing in the fuel sales for the RV Rewards program at Flying J noted one Flying J manager who came out to pump our propane since they were short of staff that evening in when we were out West in Wyoming two months ago. He noted the many of the super nice motor homes still come in, but there are even fewer of them these days. Consider all this in 2006.
