Henry,

That's correct, as the new prices come out, the prices of used LDs automatically jump by the same percentage.

It's a simplifying assumption, but when we re-analyzed the asking prices (using oryoki's posted data), it appeared that the assumption was not bad.  This was determined by comparing those results to earlier results a couple of years older.

I updated the file to 2006 prices as indicated

Chris and Henry,

Thanks for the kind words.  'Atta-boys' are always appreciated.
 On the other hand, the amount of time I spend on the Asking Price file probably pales

I suspect, given the probably permanent nature of the increases in gas prices, that the RV industry pricing power, both new and used, will weaken.  I predict this will affect all manufacturers and re-sellers.

This will be a good thing for buyers, less good for sellers.

Sounds like a good guess.  On my daily drive to work I pass 3 different RV dealers who have both new and used rigs for sale.  All have very high inventory levels and there does not seem to be a lot of movement.  I attended a recent RV show and sale in San Diego and it would seem the market is indeed soft.  Lot of deals being offered with deep discounts.  I worked in retail long enough to know that there are always built in margins to allow for discounting, but some of these were off the board in terms of percentages.  I have to wonder who is paying the interest that is accumulating on these rigs just
sitting on

these lots.

Ron and Henry, You may both be right but I predicted the same thing after the startling gas price increases in the 1070s and the gas shortages in the early 1980s.
Yesterday, I drove my Camry 150 miles on Interstate 5 and kept the speed between 55 and 60.  I didn't pass a single car or truck.
The vehicles that passed me were mostly bigger than mine.
Much of the concern seems to be confined to those who are being interviewed on the 5 O'Clock News.
