According to a survey by the RV Industry Association (RVIA), 23 million Americans plan to take an RV trip this fall. More than 11 million plan a trip for Labor Day, and 9.4 million non-owners intend to rent or borrow an RV.
The main reason cited is affordability, with comfort and fall foliage also popular. National parks and scenic destinations outpaced beaches in popularity for the first time. Over 90% of travelers plan trips 3–7 hours from home.
According to one source, 35% of potential buyers plan to purchase an RV within the next three months, nearly double the figure from two years ago.
