July 25 (Reuters) - The U.S. economy may ultimately skirt a recession, but it's felt like one for months at Jon Ferrando's 103 RV dealerships. "Our industry has always been a little challenged on forecasting around demand," said Jason Lippert, CEO of LCI Industries, a large supplier of parts to the RV industry that is also based in Elkhart. "If I was just looking at RV data, I would be screaming recession," said Michael Hicks, an economics professor at Ball State University in Indiana who tracks the industry, adding that pullbacks in RV shipments have signaled every U.S. recession since 1981. "We expect in the second half of this year shipments (of RVs) will start to increase again," Geraci said. Gregg Fore, an RV industry consultant who previously ran an RV parts supplier, said half the new inventory at some dealers he works with are 2022 models.

For Debra and Barry Benton, RVing is all about building community — both on the road and online. They run a blog and social media community, The Virtual Campground, and an online course for fellow RVers about repairing their vehicles, called "Fix It Yourself." "That first year that we were on the road, we noticed that what you really miss when you go out and become a full-timer is that sense of community," Debra Benton told Insider. The Bentons' RV.
