Conversion Van Dealer Sees Growth in 2010

According to Dave Arbogast,  founder of Arbogast Conversion Vans in Troy Ohio, the outlook for Conversion Van sales is positive.  His 25 years in the conversion van business may give him some additional perspective other van dealers do not have.  In a recent interview, Dave commented:

 ”In 2010 we expect to see a rise in conversion van sales based on a number of factors in the market.  First, consumers are feeling more confident about the state of the economy.

Yes, their confidence has been shaken and consumer spending behaviors will not return without change.   Many Americans are cutting back on expenditures and that includes overseas travel and high priced luxury goods.

With airline safety concerns on the rise and a weaker  US dollar abroad, we are hearing that many US consumers considering domestic vacations and travel by car. Our customers have commented that traveling across the USA in an affordable conversion van or mobile home is something that they always wanted to do.

Gas prices have also come back down to earth so domestic travel by car or van is not prohibitive for many Americans. As more consumers get back to basics, we anticipate a strong pickup of mobile home and conversion van sales in 2010.  It seems that for many consumers, it is time to explore and appreciate our great country and we couldn’t agree with them more!

At Dave Arbogast, we have the largest inventory in the central states to meet the consumer uptick in sales we expect in 2010.”
