RV Travel Trends

By Jim Tolar.

RV sales numbers are staying strong. The worst of the recession appears to be in the past. As RV dealers face summer sales, generally their peak sales time, they are stocking up with new RV models.

The nation is watching closely to see if sales will continue to grow or if they will stall out. Travel trailers have been a popular item this year while sales of larger RVs such as Class A RVs and Fifth Wheel Travel Trailers are also picking up.

It seems the younger generation has started a buying trend of lightweight travel trailers and fuel-efficient vehicles. Baby boomers on the other hand are still spending on more expensive models such as Class A RVs and Fifth Wheel Campers. No matter what the age, it seems as if more people are returning to the outdoors and doing it in RV style.

Park model RVs are springing up across the country. They resemble cabins and are meant to be stationary. RV Parks are using them to provide accommodation to those who want a little more space overnight, or those traveling by car. As the demand grows, so does the amount of manufacturers creating park model RVs.

Record numbers of people seem to be hitting the road and visiting National Parks. In June alone, in excess of 700,000 people headed to Yellowstone National Park. July tends to be the busiest month for National Parks so visitors will probably swarm the parks in July.

For those that are reconsidering vacations south to the Gulf Coast, there are websites that are keeping up-to-the-minute information on contaminated areas and oil-free zones. Before canceling your beach trip, contact the resort. Some places are giving a full refund if oil contaminates their beaches before or during your visit. There are still many incredible beach destinations to visit.

The mountains are just beginning to peak with summer wildflowers. For those who prefer slightly cooler temperatures, Rocky Mountain National Park and Glacier National Park still offer nighttime temps in the 30's and daytime temps in the 60's and 70's and higher depending on elevation. They also have less visitors to the back country than some of the country's more popular parks.

Adventures abound for RV Enthusiasts. No matter your style of travel - travel trailer, fifth wheel camper, Class A RV or pop-up camper - there is an affordable option for you. After buying your new RV, hit the road and check out some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. This year is the RV Industry's centennial year, which means lots of RV enthusiasts are gathering to share their stories and adventures. Start building your adventures now.
