RV Ind. improving?

[Lloyd S]

I see the shares of Thor have been on a steady rise for the last few mo. With healthy jump today. Must mean the Co. is thriving.
Also read that Winnebago Purchased SunnyBrook. They plan to introduce a 5th wheel some time in the future.

I work for Keystone owned by Thor. By the end of Febuary we will be at the same number of units per day as we were in summer last year. My plant has a huge back log and is having other plants build some off are units. This year should be very good. Also in spring they are taking our Fifth wheels out of my plant to thier own building. I have worked on the Outback line for 6 years.

Thebig issue is the price of fuel. If it goes back to $3.50 - $4 a gallon the RV industry will be in shambles once again. As one who wants to travel I hope this does not happen.

Diesel just hit $3.65 in our immediate area. Went to the Hamburg, NY, show today and found diesel for $3.58 in one spot.

Not much to do now but wait and hope it goes back down, but I doubt it.



On a brighter note, there were an awful lot of "sold" signs on the units. (Sales ploy?)
