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
