In the face of strong economic headwinds and supply chain issues, the RV industry is registering double digit sales gains and that’s good news for northern Indiana, which produces nearly 90 percent of all RVs in the U.S.
But Economic Development Corp. of Elkhart County CEO Chris Stager says rising gas prices could quickly change things.
“If it’s a $5 threshold, it’s going to definitely impair the ability to sell these units,” said Stager. “Obviously discretionary money for every family now is a challenge and discretionary purchases, when you have to get to work, and you have to pay high fuel costs all play into that.”
Stager talked about the importance of the industry to the northern Indiana economy on this weekend’s edition of Inside INdiana Business with Gerry Dick. That interview is here.
