Thor CEO's prediction that there was an industry trend towards smaller RVs was apparently correct. In motorhome segment, Class Cs are approaching almost twice the shipment volume of Class As (180% in April), and Class Bs percent growth continue faster than both -- granted "B" numbers are still low by comparison but becoming more significant. Less than two years ago Class As and Cs sold equally. That's a huge shift in a short period.

I'm still curious to know if this change in buying preferences is being driven by lower costs or other factors like easier to drive or greater convenience. The thread about towing versus renting a car (once at destination) highlights that smaller motorhomes offer certain travel freedom and simplicity that's hard to duplicate with larger rigs. Obviously, limited living space isn't for everyone.
