The DrsC spent the last two days driving north through Oregon east of the Cascade Mountains, from Klamath Falls through Bend and Madras past Mt. Hood to hook up with I-84 and thence to I-5 north. This is attractive country, which doesn't feel at all like part of a coastal state. It has the "mountain West" feeling: conifers and sage and snow on the peaks. The city of Bend is growing rapidly, and is the regional center for trade and transportation, probably medical services too.
There are lots of RV parks in the area, being used, and lots of RV dealers too. I'd guess the latter are wishing they were in another business in this era of sky-high fuel prices. In the short to medium term people will be put off by the poor fuel mileage RVs or their pullers get. In the longer term, people will adjust their notions of what constitutes a high fuel price and probably start buying RVs again. The question for RV dealers is if they can stay in business long enough to see that happen ... many dealers won't make it. The marketplace is a fickle mistress, your sweetheart one day and gone the next. Success lies in guessing her whims before she experiences them, as well as providing good value for money to your customers.
South of Bend there is a very shiny (in the Firefly sense) development called Sun River, actually the former site of a WW II Army Engineers training base. The only thing that remains from that era is the officer's club, which is now called The Great Hall, and it is pretty darn great, too. Its architecture is national park rustic, not unlike the grand old hotel at Old Faithful in Yellowstone. The Sun River development looks like a very nice place to call home, or summer home, whichever works for you. The downside is that the homes look to be at considerable risk for forest fire. Highly combustible fir trees grow right next to the houses and if there are firebreaks I couldn't see them. I wouldn't want to write the fire insurance here.
