RV industry expert says demand could soon exceed production

The National RV Trade Show is underway in Kentucky, and it's showing positive signs for Elkhart's RV industry.

According to reporting partners at the Elkhart Truth, the industry will see 10 percent growth this year, plus an additional 4.5 percent in 2013.

Recreational Vehicle Industry Association head Richard Coon says he's actually worried about production being able to meet demand in coming years.

Despite rising fuel costs, the Association says RV ownership has been increasing over the decades, now sitting at 8.5 percent of vehicle-owning households.
