I have to respectfully disagree! Our vanagon campers will still
appreciate in value, not as daily drivers, but as collector's
vehicles. This is because the hobby is not necessarily a rational
one, but a cult oriented one that will not be affected much by gas
prices, only one's ability to buy, maintain, & love, & this will rise
w/ inflation? Look what folks are paying for houses now compared to
5,10, or 20 years ago.
We are all nutz!
Flame suit on!
Tom B.-not sure bout non campers tho
