Motorhomes Are Becoming Popular Again
Motorhomes are becoming popular again, but this has not always been the situation. With fuel prices reaching $5 per gallon in 2008 and a sharp decline in RV shipments in 2009 due to the housing bubble, motorhomes became less appealing to RV Buyers for obvious reasons.
Motorhome deliveries during this time period tapered off by 50% to 70% and many RV factories declared bankruptcy and some were forced to close their doors. With disappointing sales and reduced buyer confidence RV manufacturers started re-thinking their corporate strategy and began wrestling with ways to enhance gas mileage by using lighter weight materials with an emphasis on more aerodynamic designs.
Large RV companies like Fleetwood, Winnebago, Jayco and Forest River are creating even more fuel efficient motorhomes with greater over-all designs compared to a few years ago. With gas prices remaining a major consideration for RV buyers, these RV companies understand that motorhomes presently along with the future demands really need to incorporate newer solutions that make improvements to fuel consumption. Several RV producers will be adding more eco-friendly technologies into their motorhomes which has a positive effect on the actual environment.
