Some current RV owners say they don't feel like the world is dealing with a pandemic at all, says Julie Nuernberg, spokeswoman for REV Group, the manufacturer of the Fleetwood, American Coach, and Monaco brands.

“Traveling in an RV follows the precautionary measures we need to take to stop the spread of COVID-19," Nuernberg says. "People are realizing that when you are at a campground, you are spaced apart from your neighbors. You can sit around a fire and be six feet apart. You go back into your own space, not a hotel. You use your own bathroom. You can stay safe while still seeing this great country.”

And a surge in new RV enthusiasts is jump-starting the industry.

“We are hearing from RV dealers across the country who are seeing significant increases in RV sales and traffic to their dealerships, some seeing as much as a 170 percent increase in sales over last May," says Monika Geraci, senior manager of market, strategy, and operations for the RV Industry Association. Geraci says dealers are reporting a lot of interest from shoppers looking to buy their first RV.
