Will high gas prices limit summer sales of recreational vehicles?

High fuel prices have not yet significantly slowed sales of RVs, boats, and motorcycles, but the season is just beginning. Buyers are increasingly opting for lightweight trailers towable by small SUVs and trading in larger motorhomes for smaller models. Dealers report that fuel savings are a consideration but not a primary reason for avoiding purchases. The full impact of rising prices will become clearer over the next six weeks.
