The Rapid Rise of the Recreational Vehicle

As states lift stay-at-home rules, the basic RV is now seeming like the ideal answer for a socially isolated vacation for many (or gas-station-bathroom-less road trip). Dealers, in turn, are reporting an increase in sales — "as much as 170 percent over a same period last May," according to Craig Kirby of the RV Industry Association. Seasoned RVers advise newcomers to rent before purchasing to determine how much room they want (city residents looking for a weekend getaway may be satisfied packing into a tiny camper van, whereas RVers with preschoolers may demand bunk beds) and if they enjoy driving or towing (peer-to-peer rental services RVShare and Outdoorsy make that possible).
