Original source: RV PRO

According to the RV Industry Association's quarterly survey, 23 million Americans plan to take an RV trip this fall. Over 11 million intend to travel over Labor Day, and 9.4 million non-owners plan to rent or borrow an RV. Affordability is the top reason cited, followed by comfort and fall foliage. National parks and scenic destinations have surpassed beaches for the first time as the most common destinations. Among likely buyers, 35% expect to purchase within three months, nearly double the rate from two years ago.
