I'm in the reno business and am also seeing business pick up. I was recently on a job at a campground. I was astounded to see the place packed with large RVs. I also noticed hundreds of middle-aged Harley riders coming through the small town I was at. Apparently, both RV and Harley Davidson sales are now back at per-recession levels with an upward trajectory. In my view, if discretionary spending is this strong, things are finally getting better.
