Chrome and glitz sells cars. Chrysler products out handled, out braked and usually out accelerated GM and Ford in the 1960s. But was last in sales.

Trailers are sold on floor plans. Slide outs.

The big picture is that subsidized fuel makes an RV possible. And I've posted at LEAST a dozen times over the past dozen years an overall economical approach to having the more fuel efficient tow vehicle and trailer on WOODALLS. Hundreds of views of those posts, thousands overall. Think I've ever had a PM to ask more details? My combined rig is cheaper than nearly any conventional pairing, burns less fuel and will last far longer.

The appeal of the latest class of RV -- the toy hauler -- is that it carries yet more vehicles to burn yet more fuel. Requires a $70k pickup to tow it. Etc.
