High costs may be partly driving the downsizing trend, although in some cases small RVs cost more than larger ones.

That article left a lot to be desired. First, averages are largely a useless statistic, especially in such a diverse product as RV. Their comment of 10-300K is silly in that many Class A have a price tag well over the $300K, WELL OVER. Add a seventh figure in front of the $300K. The article reminds me of some publication that was looking to fill some space and went with a bored write's rejection file.
Who knows what motivates Thor, or any other RV manufacturer's, business practice, except to increase their bottom line. As also commented bu posters here, me included, crash is coming. Your and my RV "investment" will be worth a lot less but only if you are trying to sell.
