and RVing...

2009 Fleetwood Bounder (see review)
Fleetwood says "Bounder has been popular for more than 20 years, with sales unmatched by any other motor home brand." Will big motorhomes continue to be popular?
|
RV sales are a leading financial
indicator; they are among the first things to
decline going into a recession and they have always
been among the leaders in a recovery.
Will this be true this time? Yes, but there are
other factors that are going to make it somewhat
different. |
This is how RoTi sees the changing future of RVs and RVing
(But what do we know? - apart from talking to a lot of RV companies and reading thousands of emails and hundreds of thousands of inputs from RVers over more than 10 years on the web):
-
The survival of the fittest
- Darwin's theory applied to RVing...
RV manufacturers, dealers, suppliers and all RV-related
businesses need to not only survive but adapt to the
changing economy, the changing social environment and
relentlessly increasing technical innovation. Survive,
adapt, re-invent and re-market themselves... (RoTi
can help with the re-marketing part?)
-
Better quality, better customer
service - don't just stand there, make it
better...
It's more than just surviving - it's meeting a need for
improved products. RoTi readers tell us all the good
stuff - but they tell us a lot of the bad stuff too (search
RV reviews by manufacturer and read some of the good and
the bad.)
-
The color of the future is green
- use less of it - or - if you've got it, maybe you should
just use it a bit more effectively?...
Fuel efficiency, renewable energy - we all know of course,
we're hearing about it day and night. Obama,
windmills, solar panels - and, no doubt, many things we've
never even thought of...
For the RV industry it's really just started -
have you seen this RV chassis?

-
The size of the future is small
- or maybe just smaller? - and maybe only most of us?
Cool small stuff -
Small travel trailers (unbelievably popular section of
RoTi) -
RVing is good for the environment
Somewhat different -
how RoTi sees the changing
future of RVs and RVing
Survival,
better quality, better
customer service, green,
small...
