    Keystone closing 2 Goshen plants

    Is the RV industry correction underway? Be interesting to know what lines those plants turn out.

    I seem to recall rosy sales figures being touted for 2022 just this last spring.

    And Ford is laying off 8,000 from their Internal Combustion Engine division to bulk up their EV division (in Brazil and Mexico).


    And good old Eversource more than doubling the price per kilowatt-hour, from 10.7 cents to 22.6 cents for New Hampshire.

    It seems manufacturers were touting the high number of units ordered/shipped to dealers which doesn’t translate to sales. 24% drop in registrations seems pretty significant.

    I will say the last two trips to the dealership, it has been largely empty of new units compared to a month ago. Maybe that's just the production cycle though.

    I occasionally drive by one large dealership here and from the freeway it looks like they have units wedged in so close not sure you could open the doors. This is a dealer that during the peak probably had less than 50 units and now has hundreds.

    Dealers I’ve driven by recently look like they have some pretty full lots right now…

    We checked out the inventory of a local Grand Design dealer yesterday.
    While they have a lot of units at the dealership, the variety is thin, lots of Transcends and lots of Solitudes,
    not much in between. They said that no new units of Grand Design for 6 months, no more 2022 models.
    Just an observation:

    One of the plants built Laredo, which hasn't been in production for 2 years.

    Not sure what plant 705 did....
