How To Find The Perfect RV For Your Summer Vacation

As summer rolls in, many people across America are ready to take a vacation. But with coronavirus cases surging in new hot spots across the country and social-distancing and other precautions as important as ever, experts say one of the safest ways to vacation is heading out in an RV. 

“It has gone from people hoarding toilet paper to people panic buying camper vans,” says Harley Sitner, founder of Peace Van Rentals, a Pacific Northwest-based company that rents and sells retrofitted vintage and modern camper vans.

Indeed, experts say there’s been a massive spike in RV sales and rentals. Outdoorsy, known as the Airbnb of RV rentals, says that it saw its bookings grow by 2,645 percent in April and May, and 88 percent of bookings in May were from first-timers.

Craig Kirby, president of the RV Industry Association, says that a new survey showed that 13 percent of Americans plan to rent an RV in the next 12 months. “This is in line with what we are seeing from RV rental companies across the country who are reporting not only significant increases in rentals, but also increases in the length of the rental trips,” says Kirby.
