OTTAWA - Chris and Feilan Xia Baker like their freedom, are planning to have children, and have aging parents who can't really sleep in tents anymore.
That explains the Ottawa couple's presence Saturday - under constant rain and grey skies - at an RV sale outside Scotiabank Place, where they were scoping out small trailers they can hitch up and hit the road.
"The fuel consumption is going to be a bit high, but nothing like those monstrosities," said Chris, 35, looking toward a section filled with luxury motorhomes and converted buses with six-figure price tags. "The tent trailer is about as domesticated as I want to get."
"The motorhomes sales are still strong," he said yesterday, standing inside a big tent filled with staff and prospective buyers hunched over computers and forms. "People are buying a seasonal campground pass and parking there, instead of driving from place to place."
For many, concern over gas prices is offset by the expensive reality of waterfront cottage property, Mr. Nelson said, adding that since nearly all RVs are manufactured in the United States, the Canadian dollar's rise has brought prices down. Read more about rv sales...
