I have wondered about this my entire adult life, and thought someone here might be able to explain it to me...
Yesterday I went past one of those RV dealerships...it was on 985 near Oakwood, you have probably seen it. As usual they have acres and acres of new RV's sitting on the lot. Must be 200-300 total vehicles. Maybe more...it's hard to count doing 70 MPH down the highway. And I know those things cost $30,000 - $100,000 each. Some of them, probably a lot more than that.
In my life I have known a grand total of two people who bought a RV camper. So I know that this is not a high volume business. Not even close to the volume of car dealerships. My question is this...how do they stay in business with such huge inventory cost and extremely low sales?
I have always wondered if RV dealerships are just a front for money laundering?
