A recent study by the University of Michigan/ Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) indicates RV ownership has reached record levels. Nearly one in 12 U.S. vehicle-owning households now owns an RV, adding up to nearly 7 million households. Another 8 million U.S. households are projected to own RVs by 2010, a 15 percent increase outpacing overall U.S. household growth.

Analysts report retail registrations for diesel RVs are up 11 percent in 2005, and for the first time ever, the number of diesel-powered motorhomes produced is expected to surpass gas-powered motorhomes in 2005.
