Dealers expect strong RV sales season

In the recreational vehicle business this year, if it's small, it's selling big.

Driven by consumers who want the ability to tow a camping trailer without having to invest in a huge pickup truck or sport utility vehicle, RV dealers in southern Wisconsin say smaller products are selling briskly.

So much so that dealers say manufacturers can barely keep up with demand for smaller travel trailer type RVs.

“The bigger stuff is (still) selling, but the newest part of the market and a high volume area is the smaller travel trailer,” said Tim Wegge, owner of Burlington RV Superstore in Sturtevant.

The trend is part of continued strong sales of RVs in Wisconsin and the U.S., dealers say. As the calendar moves toward spring and summer, they expect strong sales to continue.

The economy is great if you don't live in a decaying waste land like the lower shore. People in areas with jobs are doing well. Sorry about your luck if you got stuck in the land that time forgot.

2:05 family and friends across the country are informing me that job losses are climbing across the country. This area isn't the only area that is taking a hit.
