Purchased a "used" 5th wheel today to replace my aging '94 Prowler. Found it "on line" at a place about 70 miles from me.
While sitting in the salesman's office, saw a note from "THE BOSS" about RV manufacturers that have defaulted/gone out of business/declared bankruptcy. WOW....couldn't believe what I was seeing....maybe 20 manufacturers are now gone.
Then I thought about the 2007 31' fifth wheel I just made a deal on (Arctic Fox) ..... It was advertised on the web for $27k. I inquired and the price when down to $21k and my old '94. I refused the sale as wife says we can't afford it....3 days later, price (with my POS in trade) went to $18.5k !
I pick it up tomorrow...... They really are hurting....This trailer was sold originally for $38,900 in Oct 2007 ! It still SMELLS new!
The economy hasn't recovered yet.....
