ELKHART -- The hustle and bustle of daily life is not hurting RV sales any.

That's the belief of several people at Thursday's opening of the 59th annual Midwest RV Super Show, which is taking place today, Saturday and Sunday at the RV/MH Hall of Fame grounds.

"Our lives have become so busy that people are looking for any opportunity that they can take to get out and get away from home and enjoy themselves," said Matt Rose, the show's director.

"More and more people are realizing how affordable and how flexible travel can be in an RV."

Thirty straight months of increased RV shipments over the same month the previous year support that claim as does the torrid pace through the first six months of the year.
