FoxNews: American families are ready to hitch up their trailers and tow the RV industry out of its worst stretch in nearly two decades.

This year, shipments of RVs ranging from entry-level pop-ups to spacious motor homes are expected to hit their highest level since 2007, when the economic downturn began.

The upswing is a sign that somewhat looser credit, stable fuel prices and improved consumer confidence are inspiring Americans to buy more RVs.
