Flying might be taking a nosedive in popularity due to COVID-19, but RVs sales are humming right along.
Since the pandemic hit and many are unable to take international vacations or fly due to fears of contracting or spreading the disease on airplanes, they are turning to the traditional “Great American Road Trip” instead.
Recreational vehicle sales are also booming due to a combination of historically low gas prices and the need for safe places to prepare food, sleep and use the bathroom without coming into close contact with those outside of your household.
Danny Engle, general manager of RV dealership Camping World in Meridian, told the Idaho Press, during the month of May his store saw an unprecedented number of sales, both in person or online.
