To Infinity and Beyond!
How long before we see a Earthromer for $150K?
My opinion is "Much Sooner Than You Might Imagine"!
With all the "Boomer's" retiring right now and into the next 5-10 years there will be lot's of interest in recreation type of vehicles including "Earthromer's" HOWEVER I believe you will see the market and therefore the vehicle offerings from manufacturer's get SMALLER and Less Expensive. This is the trend in the recreational vehicle industry as a whole and I believe it will continue as all us "Old Farts" will want a little more simplicity in our lives along smaller sizes to deal with as we travel in older age no matter what type of vehicle travel that might be. We just might be learning something from those damn "Millennials"!
Given the RV industries continued huge sales growth as a whole there will be less and less available space for all "Explorer's" including the "Boondocker's" who will continue to find that they cannot get far enough away from the "Masses"! In the 1990's through early 2000's Prevost buses were all the rage in the money crowd. As is typically the new wears off pretty quick along with the huge size, upkeep and expense of large vehicle operation. I think the "Boomer's" learned a lot in the last recession and won't make that same mistake again.
Just look at the huge sales increases in expensive Sprinter conversions along with the availability of the factory built Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 and the rumored factory built Ford 4x4 Transit. Many of these new van buyer's are capable of purchasing much larger and more expensive unit's however the more manageable size and better designs that are now available are winning them over. The "Boomer's" are going to want an "Expedition Vehicle" that is smaller in size just like that new "Condo" or "Planned Retirement Community" home they just purchased after selling their "McMansion"!
"I" believe you are seeing that same trend invade the high end Earthromer vehicle market. Those huge Earthromer vehicles will go by the wayside for smaller, better designed, cheaper and more manageable Earthromer designs. This will be great for everybody including the dreaded "Millennials"!
Do I think the currently produced BIG Earthromer's are KOOL to look at?
Hell Ya!
Would I buy one?
Hell No!
