Thanks. I wonder if there will be a significant push among NPS and other non-commercial and commercial campgrounds to handle the apparent increases in RVers over the years.

The NPS had a study open for public comment last year and there were detailed questions about how folks use NPS facilities including RV camp sites, utilities and amenities, access roads, turning radii, etc.

My understanding is the study and public comments will be used to develop a long-ish term plan to update and improve facilities. What impact that will have on adding new capacity, I don't know... but the NPS IS paying attention.

When I worked in aviation manufacturing we had the same issues - the industry was moving to JIT delivery of purchased assemblies and components and it would take only 1 item to stop production of the company's flagship executive jet.

"Line Shut Down" was the shop traveler stamp that expediters never wanted to see on their stuff.

Good to know. Thanks.

It's not only impacting the RV industry. I was going to buy ~35 sheets of 2" styrofoam to insulate my workshop and they were sold out and didn't know when they would get more.
