I am a little surprised by the attitude of folks concerning price. Clearly price is determined by supply and demand, and we know demand is low due to the economy and shrinking pilot population. BUT....
Why are RV prices as low as they are? Basically they cost less than the sum of materials. Why should we owners not do what we can to get prices up to a more reasonable level? I say reasonable in light of what else can you buy for $100k that is only a few years old and has the performance of an RV? Nothing comes close. $250k buys you a 5 year old Cessna or Cirrus, but that is less performance and 2 extra seats, and a 2 1/2 price multiplier.
RVs have been selling for way too little for way too long in my opinion! Owners should stop giving them away and hold out for a more realistic price. When all the cheap ones are gone buyers will still come along and pay more.
