While RV owners are typically thought of as being "older" (55 and up), and stats for previous years have verified that, the number of RV buyers aged 35 to 54 is growing faster than any other age group! (That's us.)

About 10% of American householders over 55 own an RV, while 8.9% of those 35 to 54 do.

As recent as July 5, 2007, the sale of recreational vehicles is still on the rise. This, despite the fact that you're lucky to get 10 miles to the gallon and each fill-up can cost as much as $200!

(We recently spent $1,000 -- in gas alone -- on an RV trip from Elkhart, Indiana to Edmonton, Alberta Canada. We drove approximately 1,800 miles and got about 6-1/2 miles per gallon.)

Americans are defying high gas prices and jumping into gas guzzling recreational vehicles for their summer vacations... RV parks say changes in how the vehicles are used along with a rise in ownership among affluent people is driving higher sales." Source
