Brace yourself for a recession

The US Federal Reserve has increased interest 3% in the past six months in an effort to curb rampant inflation. However, the results came in slowly as the CPI for September was 8.2% and missed analyst estimates of 8.1%, but still showed progress from the June highs of 9.1%. The drop (-36%) in deliveries of industrial motorhomes in August may foreshadow a drop in sales of Camping World motorhomes. Normalization and the potential for a slowdown in sales reported in the next earnings report should prompt investors to think about rushing into the stock. The RV business has taken off since the pandemic lockdowns and it appears to be very sticky as underlying consumer lifestyle changes continue to drive demand. However, rising interest rates and declining consumer cyclical spending has likely negatively impacted demand and investors should brace for a potential deficit. Supply chain restrictions have been eased, as evidenced by vehicle inventories more than doubling since the same period last year.

Minimal and Mobile Lifestyle Trend Driver

The pandemic reinforced the trend of minimalist and mobile living and experiential travel and outdoor recreation. There are plenty of new content providers on YouTube (NASDAQ: GOOGL) expounding the joys of life and camping as a lifestyle modification that goes beyond just vacation, but is applicable as a mobile home and office. It is possible that a recession could drive more consumers towards minimalist and mobile lives, especially as fuel costs continue to fall.
