I found many of the comments on the article to be very interesting.
The article was reporting the effects of past doom and gloom; the
comments forecast the turn around. Two RV sales types reported record
months recently (although they did not specify the types of RVs they
sold - could have been pop-ups. Overall economic lead-lag effects of
different industries are interesting.

is still less expensive to go play than doing it another way, we just
do shorter trips. As well after the shake out of all manufacturers is
complete, with some luck and crafty business decisions, CCW's purchase
of BB may turn out to be a brilliant business decision. They are in
the process of positioning themselves on top of the power which will
allow them to explode out of the gate with a quality product when the
market returns, returning BB to prominence. If they decide to add a
quality 36'-38' side entry look out. They have a shot at capturing a
good portion of the mid to high end market. Add the refurbishment
division, the service division and parts division and support for
older Birds and we all will be better off it they are successful. A
company positioning themselves for the future while others are
downsizing or going out of business is a great formula. It is said,
"when one door closes another
> opens." Our decision to own a Bird will make all of us look
brilliant. It is tough to make me look that way!
