The good ol days. Pricing from 20 years ago

[97grandby]

I was going though some of may paper work for my camper and came across the pricing sheet for my 1997 grandby. Thought you might like see how much a camper cost 20 years ago. This was pretty close when my fully loaded f250 4wd truck- sticker at the dealer as 15k. If the same pricing increase goes up the same rate in another 20 years, a base grandby will be just over 50k yikes !

Very cool.
I'd love to order at those prices!

I had a 97 Grandby. That price sheet looked very familiar. Mine cost roughly $10K at the time.

Thanks for that.
Looks like some of the options haven't increased at the same rate as the camper.

Yeah, and I just sold my '98 Ranger shell model for $1300. Not bad depreciation for all those Baja trips.

Just rereading the price list for the 2017 shell $11,995.
That's what I payed for my 2009 full well loaded ATC Bobcat. Out the door!
Wow things have gotten expensive.
