The RV Lifestyle Beats High Gas Prices at a Rally for RV’s
According to an article in USA Today, one topic that isn’t getting much focus - is the rise in gas prices. Hard-core RVers, which include many of the 8,000 attendees at The Rally that ended Monday (March 17) at the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry, will tell you an RV isn’t just a vehicle. It’s a lifestyle. And a little thing like $4-a-gallon gas isn’t going to put the brakes on a way of life.
Fuel efficiency wasn’t a hot topic among the 300 vendors here, either. Over at the Born Free Motorhomes exhibit, for instance, the spec sheet inside a spanking new 32-foot $174,015 President model offers details on cabinet finish (cherry), toilet type (porcelain) and upholstery (leather) but is mum about what it costs to actually drive the thing. “It’s something that gets talked about enough without you pointin’ it out,” said sales manager Jerry Ehrhardt.
