If you don't go bankrupt....

So whats everyone's plans for new toys this year? providing we all don't loose our jobs do to the recession.

We are planning to buy a camper, We wanted one last year and held off thinking we would find a deal in the winter. Were we ever wrong, prices went up. Still looking and hoping to find a descent deal.

So is everyone laying low and holding out or will you be spending your hard earned cash like normal?

Prolly buy a another quad this year, have 2 already. Upgrade to a newer RV, keep the older 28ft for hunting or off the grid quading/camping.

I'm not overly worried about this..... we just had one 2007/2008, I think it was 92/93, as well as 81/82. Oil went down, freeloaders went home and we kept working and buying.

I'm thinking of upgrading my sled, and selling my house. Either way..... The house goes for sale, in the fall and I ride the Iguana for another season

I just built a new house. Needs fence and yards and a basement...... Toys and vehicles are on hold. We are slow at work but got some big proposals out there we are thinking will turn to work. Usually im busy when its slow, maintenance engineering..... Replacing old stuff for when its busy. Just need some work, winter blues setting in, not very driven to get stuff done right now.

RV prices go up in the winter for the Snow Bird season. Start looking late March 3rd to 4th week, dealers push the quota sale same as car dealers, better chances at the end of the month.

According to the RV dealer where we bought ours, the pricing was to take a big hit with the corresponding drop in the dollar. We bought ours just before that happened in January.

The holiday trailer is our new toy for the coming year. The 2005 quad still plows the driveway well, the 2014 XM is in great shape with only 400 extra kms added this winter, and the T3 will doo quite nicely for another year. The economy won't really effect our situation economically.

Gonna ride the same ol junk and camp in the same box until this blows over. Wife lost her job....we are in preserve mode.

when I was pricing enclosed trailers out I was told the exact same thing "better to buy what we have on the lot than to order due to the drop in the dollar". At the same time, I'm sure there will be a bunch on Kijiji in the coming months, and we decided not to bother with it, was going to be used mainly for storage right now anyways.

Just bought a new truck, nothing else needs replacing. Probably spruce up my YZ and actually put some hours on the bike again this year it's been a few since I rode it much. If I actually find myself riding it enough might upgrade to a 300 or maybe even a 450 + so I have snowbike capability in the future.

Hot tub.

getting my eyes laserd

 

[Absledder]

Thinking about getting a new sled, see what they come out with for 16 and if it's nothing major I might try and pick up a cheap 15. That's only a maybe though at this point. Just picked up a new to me tow rig, 08 3500 ram so I scratched the spending itch lol
