Here’s our coverage of the boom and bust of the RV industry:
- April 2021: RV Sales Just Hit An All-Time High
- March 2022: RV Shipments Soar To Record For This Time Of Year
- July 2022: “All Of A Sudden, It Came To A Halt”: After Posting Fresh Records Just Months Earlier, RV Industry Grinds To A Halt
- Nov 2022: RV Boom Over? Monthly Shipments Plunge As Dealerships Overflow With Campers
- May 2023: RV Bust Worsens As Dealers Discount Trailers
- June 2023: RV Bust Kicks Into High Gear As Winnebago Records Big Revenue Miss
The latest results from the RV Industry Association’s June 2023 survey of manufacturers found more of the same: “Total RV shipments ended the month with 24,095 units, a decrease of (-46.4%) compared to the 44,942 units shipped in June 2022. To date, RV shipments are down (-49.2%) with 164,830 units.”
Rather than focusing on the continued RV downcycle — mainly the result of high borrowing costs which popped the demand bubble — we thought the most critical data from this report is the ongoing surge in demand for “Park Model RVs.”
“Park Model RVs finished June up 7.7% compared to the same month last year, with 391 wholesale shipments,” RVIA said in the report.
What are Park Model RVs? Well…
The most logical conclusion one can make about the soaring mobile home demand is possibly the worst housing affordability crisis in a generation has killed the ‘American Dream’ for many. We detailed this in a note last week titled Starter Homes Are Becoming Extinct, Making ‘The American Dream’ Unaffordable.
Coffee the Christian way: Promised Grounds
Following two years of negative real wage growth that has decimated the working poor and parts of the middle class, coupled with tens of millions of folks, have been priced out of the American Dream. It’s so evident that Home Depot now sells trailers called “Gateway Pad.”
Isn’t ‘Bidenomics’ Great?

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
The huge influx of illegal aliens for decades is behind the real estate inflation. California is a textbook example during decades of millions of adults crammed into group housing formerly designed for nuclear families. Such adults can pay high rents per bed lease, including multiple members of the same family of working adults. Landlords kept raising rents which drove up the values of investment rental homes and condos. Affecting homestead housing next door. Eventually it became unrecognizable as a family unfriendly state. Now press repeat in other states like New York, NJ, etc. As real estate became the major economic driver, the side effects have rippled in other ways: crime, coping addictions, homelessness, premature mortality.
