I am a consultant and had an unexpected 6-month vacation (March through August) due to the economy. I negotiated a start date with several clients many different times only to have the funding for the purchase order yanked out at the last minute. One client, whom I've already completed billable work for, had defaulted on their final invoices to me. I've been doing consulting for many years and have never run into an industry-wide situation as tenuous as this.
Needless to say, the motorhome stayed parked all Spring and Summer (except for one short weekend nearby). Our big summer trip across the country never happened. Due to inactivity, bacterial growth in the diesel fuel had reared its ugly head.
I am now with a client and funds are finally flowing. After several fuel treatments and fuel filters later, the motorhome runs great. My motorhome has been very active this fall. I have season tickets to Penn State and am tailgating at every opportunity (although I've had to sell the tickets for the big games to pay for the small games).
Aside from local motorhome usage, I have been tight with my money. I rarely go out to dinner with the family and pricey vacations are on hold for the foreseeable future. Christmas will be OK for my wife and kids, but not lavish.
You never know when that next unexpected 'vacation' is going hit.

Just finished planning our trip to the south leaving right after Christmas......As we called to book sites from Key West to St. Augustine there didn't seem to be any more availability this year because of the economy.
We have been trying to get into a resort in Naples for 2 years and they are still sold out in January, Feb, & March! Did manage to get a cancellation for 5 days at blue water key in key west but couldn't get the last 2 days.
If this is any indicator, looks like the snowbirds and others are simply continuing the RV lifestyle with little change.

Thanks for the replies to my thread everyone. It is so great to hear that there are so many of us still enjoying RVing even through these tough times our country is facing. It is a very important thing to be able to enjoy life in this way.
