This business is having a tremendous 2009. International shipments are way up. Americans have always enjoyed the great outdoors. Turns out that people all over the world, along with more and more Americans have come to realize that there's no better way to experience everything that their countries have to offer than in a recreational vehicle. While payment plan buyers are fewer with the weak economy, the higher end units and more affluent buyers are not out of the market, so profit margins are healthy. Fuel is a consideration that is affecting the length of trips, but not so much the purchase decision. In the next 10 years, the number of RV-owning US households will rise from 9 million to 10.4 million, according to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA). That's a 15% increase in ownership during a period when population growth is less than 5%! Positive demographic factors are creating record sales of RVs of all types. The overall U.S. population is getting older, and people are entering the RV market at a younger age. In this decade, an average of 12,000 Baby Boomers per day will turn 50. What's more, ownership of RVs among 45- to 54-year-olds, the core of the Baby Boom generation, has risen 25% since 1993. That's more of an increase than in any other age group. Meanwhile, life expectancy is also increasing, lengthening an individual's years of active RVing. The bottom line? The total population in the RV segment is growing at a rate never seen before. The RV market is a large, dynamic, growing market. It's also a rapidly changing market. If you have a stereotypical view of RVers and their rigs, Get over it! Make the most of the changes reshaping us all. The RVer will be a vital participant in the active lifestyle of the coming years.
