Attendance at this year's Kentucky Expo Center is down this year, due to the economy. But sales are up, at least according to a few industry experts.
Bob Coon, president of the RV Industry Association, was quoted as saying there have been increases in the 16 to 25 percent category depending upon which product you're looking at. Optimism is running high at Airstream, where president Bob Wheeler plans on re-hiring everyone on their layoff list by January.
While not all RV manufacturers have fared well over the past year, the positive news gives hope to an industry mired in the recession. |
