RVing Couple Lend Hand in Difficult Times
from The Troy Record
 You can't hide from a spouse in a camper. Good thing Jim Caverly and wife Jeanne Meyer-Caverly usually get along well. The couple, formerly of Pennsylvania, now of "Everywhere," USA, live full time in a recreational vehicle. The RVers do more than travel to places; they visit interesting and often difficult moments in time. Before traveling full-time, they took the rig to New Orleans to assist the American Red Cross after Hurricane Katrina. Having a comfortable place to sleep recharged them for days spent feeding storm victims in some of the most devastated areas.

Because of that, buyers didn't get loans to make purchases, and retailers couldn't get financing to put new RVs on their lots.
