RVs Still Hot for Summer

We don’t often spend much time thinking about RVs, unless we’re stuck behind one on the freeway. Still, mobile recreation vehicles are a part of modern Americana, and believe it or not sales and rentals are up this year. Sales of RVs are up 2%, while rentals are up 4%, and neither is necessarily cheap. Renting a standard RV can cost more than $1,000 a week, while purchasing a new RV can cost upward of $100,000.

Sales were down last year, but the industry has absorbed fluctuating gas prices. One interesting anecdote came from a large RV rental company that said nearly half of its customers are foreign travelers.

Quite a few moments the powerful leader is just not the one who is made up of each of the capabilities you study about in books, or the talents which are most targeted on in teaching and improvement systems.
