While RV manufacturers are feeling the pain of the draggy economy, overall truck camper manufacturers are feeling it a bit less. Here are some highlights of the November wholesale sales analysis compiled by the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA).Pity the Class A motorhome side of the industry. Sales of the big machines dropped nearly 52% for the first eleven months of 2008, compared to the same time period the prior year. The smaller, more "light on the fuel pump" Class C motorhome industry fared much better, showing a decline of almost 38% for the same time line.
What about truck camper sales? The industry report says that while the truck camper segment has been hit as well, it's doing much better than motorhome-land: Truck camper wholesale movement declined only about 33% during the measured eleven month period.
