- 5:23that
- 5:23would
- 5:23have
- 5:23been
- 5:23the
- 5:23absolute
- 5:24best.

- 19:17on
- 19:17Pikes.
- 19:17And
- 19:17it
- 19:18just
- 19:18was
- 19:19probably
- 19:19the
- 19:19best
- 19:20time
- 19:20I've
- 19:20had
- 19:21a,
- 19:21at
- 19:21a
- 19:21national
- 19:21park
- 19:22was
- 19:22not
- 19:22having

- 19:23the
- 19:23the
- 19:23shuttle
- 19:24system
- 19:24or
- 19:24deal
- 19:24it.
- 19:24And
- 19:24again,
- 19:25during
- 19:25the
- 19:25pandemic,
- 19:26it
- 19:26really
- 19:26helped
- 19:26out
- 19:27because
- 19:27people
- 19:28were
- 19:28a
- 19:28little
- 19:28sketchy
- 19:29and
- 19:29wearing
- 19:29masks
- 19:30and
- 19:30things
- 19:30like
- 19:30that.
- 19:30So
- 19:30we
- 19:31didn't
- 19:31want
- 19:31to
- 19:31wear
- 19:31masks
- 19:31on
- 19:31the
- 19:32show.
- 19:32And
- 19:32so
- 19:33being
- 19:33a
- 19:33part
- 19:34from
- 19:34them
- 19:34was
- 19:35really
- 19:35well.
- 19:35So
- 19:35it
- 19:35was
- 19:35just
- 19:36really
- 19:36neat
- 19:36to
- 19:36check
- 19:37out
- 19:37some
- 19:37of
- 19:37the
- 19:37state
- 19:38parks
- 19:38and
- 19:38national.
- 19:38I
- 19:38think
- 19:39that's
- 19:39really
- 19:39important
- 19:40for
- 19:40when
- 19:40you
- 19:40talk
- 19:40about
- 19:40first
- 19:41time,
- 19:41RV
- 19:41years,
- 19:41and
- 19:42people
- 19:42get
- 19:42their
- 19:42RV
- 19:43and
- 19:43they
- 19:43tend
- 19:43to
- 19:43go
- 19:44to
- 19:44all
- 19:44of
- 19:44the
- 19:45traditional
- 19:45spots,
- 19:46that
- 19:46they
- 19:46know
- 19:46of,
- 19:47and
- 19:47they're
- 19:48very
- 19:48crowded
- 19:49and
- 19:49it's
- 19:49difficult
- 19:49to
- 19:49get
- 19:50a
- 19:50campsite.
- 19:51And
- 19:51so
- 19:51all
- 19:51of
- 19:51those
- 19:52issues
- 19:52come
- 19:53up
- 19:53and
- 19:53it
- 19:53may
- 19:54impact
- 19:54their
- 19:55initial
- 19:56experience.
- 19:56But
- 19:57I
- 19:57think
- 19:57a
- 19:57show
- 19:57like
- 19:57yours,
- 19:58it
- 19:58sounds
- 19:59fun
- 19:59because
- 19:59you're
- 19:59showing,
- 20:00some
- 20:00different
- 20:01areas
- 20:01and
- 20:02maybe
- 20:02you'll
- 20:02want
- 20:02to
- 20:02come
- 20:02up
- 20:03to
- 20:03Canada
- 20:03one
- 20:03day,
- 20:04showcase
- 20:05some
- 20:06areas,
- 20:06what
- 20:06people
- 20:07can
- 20:07do.
- 20:07That's
- 20:07not
- 20:08just
- 20:08the
- 20:08traditional
- 20:09typical
- 20:10experience.
- 20:11It's
- 20:11interesting.
- 20:12You
- 20:12said
- 20:12that
- 20:12Eleanor,
- 20:13we
- 20:13had
- 20:13originally
- 20:14started
- 20:14with
- 20:14going
- 20:15to
- 20:15national
- 20:15parks
- 20:16because
- 20:16we
- 20:16probably
- 20:16got
- 20:16these
- 20:17big
- 20:17national
- 20:17parks.
- 20:18And
- 20:18then
- 20:18we
- 20:18realized,
- 20:19wow,
- 20:19they're
- 20:19crowded
- 20:21on
- 20:21fly
- 20:22our
- 20:22drone.
- 20:22Wow.
- 20:22We
- 20:23can't,
- 20:23there's
- 20:23so
- 20:23much
- 20:23permanent
- 20:24issues
- 20:24or
- 20:24so,
- 20:25so
- 20:25we
- 20:25really
- 20:26have
- 20:26changed
- 20:27the
- 20:27focus
- 20:27for
- 20:27the
- 20:28second
- 20:28season
- 20:28that
- 20:28are
- 20:29focusing
- 20:29on
- 20:29state
- 20:29parks,
- 20:30really
- 20:30unknown
- 20:31parks
- 20:31that
- 20:31really
- 20:31need
- 20:32them.
- 20:33The
- 20:33national
- 20:33parks.
- 20:34I
- 20:34think
- 20:34Yellowstone
- 20:34had
- 20:35the
- 20:35biggest
- 20:36attendance
- 20:36in
- 20:36their
- 20:36history.
- 20:38They
- 20:38don't
- 20:38need
- 20:38more
- 20:38people.
- 20:40So
- 20:40really
- 20:40we're
- 20:40looking
- 20:41for
- 20:41the
- 20:41other
- 20:41parts,
- 20:42like
- 20:42a
- 20:42Custer
- 20:43state

- 33:40I
- 33:40don't
- 33:40think
- 33:40the
- 33:40RV
- 33:41industry
- 33:41has
- 33:41caught
- 33:42up
- 33:42to

- 33:50have
- 33:50so
- 33:51many
- 33:51RVs
- 33:51out
- 33:52there,
- 33:52the
- 33:52consumer
- 33:53base
- 33:53is
- 33:53there
- 33:54and
- 33:54you've
- 33:54got
- 33:55hungry,
- 33:55willing
- 33:56people
- 33:56to
- 33:56go
- 33:56do.
- 33:57But
- 33:57you
- 33:57don't
- 33:57have
- 33:58the
- 33:59people
- 34:00that
- 34:00get
- 34:00you
- 34:00on
- 34:01the
- 34:01road
- 34:01back
- 34:02and
- 34:02fixed
- 34:02up.
- 34:03For
- 34:03example,
- 34:03we
- 34:04did
- 34:04purchase
- 34:04this.
- 34:05We
- 34:05did
- 34:05not
- 34:05have
- 34:06a
- 34:06refrigerator
- 34:06for
- 34:07three
- 34:07quarters
- 34:07of
- 34:07our
- 34:08season.
- 34:08We
- 34:09lived
- 34:09out
- 34:09at
- 34:09two
- 34:10little
- 34:10portable
- 34:11freezer
- 34:11refrigerator,
- 34:13and
- 34:13somebody
- 34:13who
- 34:13likes
- 34:14to
- 34:14cook.
- 34:14It
- 34:14was
- 34:14not
- 34:15fun.
- 34:17So
- 34:17because
- 34:18the
- 34:18part
- 34:19was
- 34:19not
- 34:19there
- 34:19and
- 34:19then
- 34:20the
- 34:20service
- 34:20and
- 34:20then
- 34:21booking
- 34:21our
- 34:21time
- 34:21to
- 34:22get
- 34:22in,
- 34:22and
- 34:22then
- 34:23they
- 34:23would
- 34:23the
- 34:23turnover
- 34:24in
- 34:24technicians.
- 34:25So
- 34:26it's
- 34:26encouraging
- 34:27to
- 34:27know
- 34:27that
- 34:27there
- 34:28is

- 34:28technician
- 34:29school
- 34:29that's

- 34:29in.
- 34:30I
- 34:30think

- 34:32more
- 34:32trade
- 34:33careers

- 34:35Really
- 34:35getting
- 34:35people
- 34:36into
- 34:36the
- 34:36skews.
- 34:36This
- 34:36is
- 34:37an
- 34:37industry
- 34:37that's
- 34:37not
- 34:37going

- 34:38It's
- 34:39growing
- 34:39consumer
- 34:40wise,
- 34:40I
- 34:40think
- 34:41the
- 34:41industry
- 34:42needs
- 34:42to
- 34:42catch
- 34:42up
- 34:43with

- 34:44and
- 34:44the

- 34:47So
- 34:47a
- 34:47question
- 34:48for
- 34:48you,
- 34:48Phil,
- 34:48and
- 34:48maybe

- 34:49a
- 34:49hard
- 34:49one,
- 34:50but
- 34:50I'll

- 34:50be
- 34:50a
- 34:50softball
- 34:51a
- 34:51little
- 34:51bit.
- 34:51When
- 34:52you

- 34:54is
- 34:54definitely
- 34:55not
- 34:55an
- 34:55RV
- 34:55industry
- 34:56problem.
- 34:56This
- 34:56is
- 34:56a
- 34:56worldwide,
- 34:57every
- 34:58industry,
- 34:58grocery,
- 34:59whatever
- 34:59problem,
- 35:00are
- 35:00there
- 35:00ways
- 35:00that
- 35:00you've
- 35:01heard
- 35:01discussed
- 35:01or
- 35:02that
- 35:03things
- 35:03that

- 35:06like
- 35:06this
- 35:06happening
- 35:07in
- 35:07the
- 35:07future?
- 35:07Obviously
- 35:08we
- 35:08can't
- 35:08control
- 35:08pandemics,
- 35:09things
- 35:09like
- 35:09that,
- 35:10but
- 35:11right.
- 35:12We,
- 35:12we
- 35:12had
- 35:12a
- 35:12double
- 35:13whammy
- 35:13because
- 35:14we
- 35:14had
- 35:14all
- 35:14this
- 35:14demand,
- 35:15right?
- 35:15600,000
- 35:16units
- 35:18in
- 35:1820,
- 35:1822
- 35:20or
- 35:202021
- 35:21last
- 35:21year.
- 35:22We've
- 35:22never
- 35:22seen
- 35:22that
- 35:23kind
- 35:23of
- 35:23number
- 35:23before.
- 35:24So
- 35:25you
- 35:25were
- 35:25building
- 35:26a
- 35:26lot
- 35:26of
- 35:26units,
- 35:27they
- 35:27need
- 35:28refrigerators,
- 35:28then
- 35:29you
- 35:29have
- 35:29refrigerators
- 35:30breaking,
- 35:30so
- 35:31they
- 35:31need
- 35:31parts.
- 35:32And
- 35:32so
- 35:33what
- 35:33I
- 35:33think
- 35:34you're
- 35:34going
- 35:34to
- 35:34see
- 35:35different
- 35:36types
- 35:36of
- 35:37systems
- 35:38put
- 35:38in
- 35:38place.
- 35:39Not
- 35:39only
- 35:39are
- 35:40the
- 35:40suppliers
- 35:41building
- 35:42refrigerators
- 35:43to
- 35:43put
- 35:43in
- 35:43new
- 35:43units,
- 35:44but
- 35:44they're
- 35:44also
- 35:45at
- 35:45the
- 35:45same
- 35:45time
- 35:45saying,
- 35:46okay,
- 35:46but
- 35:47these
- 35:47parts
- 35:48are
- 35:48not
- 35:48going
- 35:48to
- 35:48go
- 35:48into
- 35:49new
- 35:49units.
- 35:49These
- 35:49are
- 35:50for
- 35:50our
- 35:50aftermarket
- 35:51customers,
- 35:51so
- 35:52you've
- 35:52got
- 35:52your
- 35:53team,
- 35:53you've
- 35:53got

- 35:53buckets
- 35:54of
- 35:54parts
- 35:55to

- 35:55versus,
- 35:56oh,

- 35:57go

- 35:57production
- 35:58or
- 35:58whatever.
- 35:59So
- 36:00I
- 36:00think
- 36:00those
- 36:00are
- 36:00the
- 36:00kinds
- 36:01of
- 36:01things
- 36:01that

- 36:22impact
- 36:23of
- 36:23this
- 36:23supply
- 36:24chain
- 36:24issue
- 36:25is
- 36:25having
- 36:25on
- 36:25the
- 36:25user.
- 36:26I,
- 36:26SSI
- 36:27who
- 36:27counts
- 36:27does
- 36:28the
- 36:28retail
- 36:28sales
- 36:29is
- 36:29finally
- 36:30figured
- 36:30out
- 36:30a
- 36:30way
- 36:31to
- 36:31track
- 36:32you
- 36:32sales
- 36:33in
- 36:34the
- 36:34us
- 36:34and
- 36:35on
- 36:35owner.
- 36:35I
- 36:35don't
- 36:35know
- 36:36if
- 36:36they're
- 36:36doing
- 36:36it
- 36:36in
- 36:36Canada
- 36:37as
- 36:37well,
- 36:37but,
- 36:37I
- 36:37don't,
- 36:38I
- 36:38haven't
- 36:38seen
- 36:38the
- 36:3820,
- 36:3921
- 36:39numbers,
- 36:39but
- 36:40the
- 36:402020
- 36:41numbers,
- 36:42there
- 36:42were
- 36:42like
- 36:43three
- 36:43quarters
- 36:44of
- 36:44a
- 36:44million
- 36:44used
- 36:45units
- 36:45changed
- 36:46hands.
- 36:46So
- 36:46some
- 36:47of
- 36:47those
- 36:47are
- 36:48sold
- 36:48through
- 36:48the
- 36:48dealer,
- 36:49but
- 36:49a
- 36:49lot
- 36:50of
- 36:50them
- 36:50are
- 36:50consumer
- 36:51to
- 36:51consumer
- 36:51sales,
- 36:52private
- 36:52sale.
- 36:53And
- 36:54those,
- 36:54I'm
- 36:55obviously
- 36:55I'm
- 36:55biased.
- 36:56I
- 36:56worked
- 36:56for
- 36:56dealers,
- 36:57but
- 36:57our
- 36:58studies
- 36:58show
- 36:59that
- 36:59the
- 36:59most
- 37:00dissatisfied
- 37:01RV
- 37:01owners
- 37:02are
- 37:02those
- 37:02who
- 37:03buy
- 37:03private
- 37:03sale
- 37:04because
- 37:06the
- 37:06unit
- 37:07hasn't
- 37:07been
- 37:07checked
- 37:08out,
- 37:08it
- 37:08may
- 37:08not
- 37:09even
- 37:09be
- 37:09what's
- 37:10referenced.
- 37:10We
- 37:10encourage
- 37:11people
- 37:11to,
- 37:11even
- 37:11if
- 37:11they
- 37:12do
- 37:12private
- 37:12sale,
- 37:13buy
- 37:13that,
- 37:13go
- 37:13to
- 37:13the
- 37:13dealer
- 37:14and
- 37:14get
- 37:14it
- 37:14checked
- 37:14out.
- 37:15Because
- 37:15certainly
- 37:16the
- 37:16use
- 37:16market
- 37:16is
- 37:17is
- 37:17growing
- 37:18along
- 37:18with
- 37:18the
- 37:18new
- 37:18sales.
- 37:19I
- 37:19think
- 37:19that
- 37:19holds
- 37:20true,
- 37:20probably
- 37:20Phil
- 37:21outside
- 37:21of
- 37:21the
- 37:21RV
- 37:21industry
- 37:22too.
- 37:22I
- 37:22would
- 37:22imagine
- 37:23if
- 37:23you
- 37:23did
- 37:23a
- 37:23satisfaction
- 37:24survey
- 37:24and
- 37:24they
- 37:24probably
- 37:24exist
- 37:25in
- 37:25the
- 37:25auto
- 37:25industry,
- 37:26that
- 37:26more
- 37:26people
- 37:27are
- 37:27unhappy
- 37:27buying
- 37:28their
- 37:28car
- 37:28from
- 37:28the
- 37:28neighbor
- 37:29down
- 37:29the
- 37:29street
- 37:29than
- 37:29they
- 37:29would
- 37:30be
- 37:30a
- 37:30dealer
- 37:30to.
- 37:30So
- 37:31yeah.
- 37:31But
- 37:32it's
- 37:32good
- 37:32to
- 37:32see
- 37:32that
- 37:32you

- 37:34and
- 37:34changing
- 37:34and
- 37:35trying
- 37:35to

- 37:37this
- 37:37to
- 37:37these

- 37:38that
- 37:38you
