In another sign of an improving economy, Ford Motor Co. says it is boosting motor home and commercial chassis production by 35 percent to meet demand for recreational vehicles.
Much like the relationship between truck sales and the housing market, sales of motor homes — which can exceed $150,000 each — are strong economic indicators.
Sales of Class A motorhomes — built on a stripped truck chassis — climbed 14 percent last year, according to the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association. During the fourth quarter, sales jumped 43 percent.
