With the RV industry at all time high, expectations and growth are forefront on people's mind, especially in Elkhart, Indiana which has become an epicenter of the RV industry in America. But there is always a possibility for downturn. With President Obama visiting the area before the end of his Presidency, local TV station WSBT 22 examines that possibility.
Patrick Roth of WSBT 22 relates in his article: "Elkhart — Oh what a difference seven years can make.

But what will happen the next time the economy slips?"
