Will anybody really purchase the Performance S with each one in every of these choices? It’s onerous to think about anybody with sufficient cash to spend over $7 million on a motorhome has any precise curiosity in spending time in a motorhome over an upscale resort, however clearly, there’s nonetheless a marketplace for these monstrosities given Volkner rolls out new fashions 12 months after 12 months.
