Gas prices not hurting RV sales

The Northwest Mississippi Daily Journal features a story on the 23rd annual Mississippi Boat, Camper and RV Sale. According to the article, sales of RVs have been brisk despite concerns over fuel costs.

RV buyers who are concerned about fuel costs might be buying smaller campers, but are still determined to hit the road. Rebates and financing by dealers are also helping sales.

According to the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association, more RVs were shipped in the first nine months of 2006 than any year since 1974, an increase of 8% in 2006 over the first nine months of the previous year.
