Analyst says RV deliveries rising
The Associated Press Share
A Baird analyst said dealers are ordering more RVs after a big decline in inventories, likely helping sales at RV makers. But, demand from customers -- key to a sustainable rebound -- is still uncertain. Analyst Craig Kennison said in a note last week that Baird surveyed nearly 100 RV dealers. Inventory bottomed in 2009, and Kennison said dealers plan to more than double orders of motorhomes, and to order 51 percent more towables, in the next six months. MORE

Mel Bateson came out to University of Phoenix Stadium Saturday hoping a deal would catch his eye that could fatten his wallet. The part-time Maryland resident, who spends three months each year living in his 40-foot RV in Mesa, said he was looking to downsize from his gas guzzler. The La Mesa RV weekend sale, with about 180 units, was the perfect venue. "We have a 40-footer, and we're watching the market in these smaller units," he said. "Eventually we're going to size down to one of these smaller units to get more miles to the gallon. We're moving from about eight miles per gallon to about 18. It makes quite a difference." Mike Sullivan, a salesman with La Mesa RV, said many customers are looking at smaller units and used RVs instead of bigger and newer vehicles. "We've got a lot of used. Right now that's where the market is, kind of on the lower end. People are conserving their cash and looking more at a used vehicle than a new one right now," he said. Sullivan said up to 40 percent discounts on new vehicles as well as reduced prices on used RVs were being offered at the four-day weekend sale. |

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said, "These projects — at places like Ellis Island in New York and Dinosaur National Monument in Utah — are ready to go and will create jobs in communities across the country." One of the projects most ballyhooed by the administration is spending $13.1 million to finally demolish condemned portions of the Quarry Visitor Center at Dinosaur and replace them. That center covers a cliff where fossils were carefully quarried and exposed in place for visitors to see. |

Even with a reduction in media spending, the campaign is on track to make approximately a half billion advertising impressions this year. More than half of Go RVing prospects (52 percent) who provide information on their purchase intentions say that they are very likely to visit a show or dealership this year – compared to only 33 percent in 2008.
