Well, buckle up, because it all starts with new RVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">RV manufacturers are feeling the squeeze from rising costs, and instead of jacking up prices, they\u2019re doing a little dance called <strong>decontenting<\/strong>\u2014which is a fancy way of saying they\u2019re cutting features and materials to keep prices down. That means some new RVs are actually priced the same or even less than last year\u2019s models. Crazy, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Now, remember back in the pandemic when everyone and their dog decided they needed an RV to escape the apocalypse? Demand was through the roof, prices skyrocketed, and people who realized RVing wasn\u2019t their thing started trading them in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Dealers like Bish\u2019s RV were practically giving away used RVs just to clear the lot. But now that inventory\u2019s balanced and new prices haven\u2019t shot up, people are looking at used RVs and going, \u201cWait, why pay almost the same for last year\u2019s model when I can get a shiny new one with a warranty?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">So, what\u2019s next? Well, if that expected price hike on new RVs actually hits, used RVs might just become the hot ticket again. More demand, higher prices. Same old dance, just a different tune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:56px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p
