Not sure where you're living ... but if you can pick up a 2008 boat or RV for the same price a comparable model sold for in 1980 you should go out right now buy all you can and caravan them out of Fantasyland into the real world. You'll make a TON of money!

One of our best friends works for Fleetwood and they are laying off people and downsizing from 5 to 2 buildings. They are also trying to sell off part of the 40 acres their complex is on. They are one of the big boys, so I don't know who you are reffering to with respect to RV's.
As far as boats, I have owned an Eliminator, two DCB's, a Cigarette and a Skater over the past 8 years. They ranged from 100-500k. I am very well connected in the high performance boating community (which includes a very wealthy guy in your neck of the woods that owns a large boat company) and the industry is not doing well right now. They made a killing the past 5 years with everone pulling money off their homes, and now that money has dried up.
