According to the RVIA, total RV shipments to retailers in the month of June increased by nearly 11 percent compared to June of 2019 from 36,524 units to 40,462 units -- the most in any month since October 2018.

"We have been seeing this surge in sales since of RVs since state began to reopen," Geraci says.
