Go RVing Launches “Find Your RV” Tool to Help Record-Breaking Number of Travelers in the New Year.
(Reston, VA): The past two years have seen major shifts in how Americans vacation, wanting to safely distance and control their environment. RV camping filled that need with a record-breaking 61 million Americans wanting to get in on the trend in 2021.
Next year looks to top that with an estimated 72 million Americans (that’s 40% of leisure travelers) planning on taking at least one vacation in an RV they buy, borrow or rent. The biggest leap in RV travelers are 18-to-34-year-olds who now make up 22% of the market.
To help the millions of first-time RVers get started, GoRVing.com has put together a “Find Your RV” tool. The digital tool takes consumers through a series of questions to help define their travel experience, narrowing down the types of RVs that would be their best fit. From there, consumers can take specific steps to make their decision easier and more enjoyable:
Visit an RV Show: January launches the RV Show season nationwide. This is a great time for consumers to tour nearly every type of RV available in person and meet dealers in their area.
Know Your Budget: Prices range from $6,000 for a pop up trailer all the way up to million-dollar coaches. Most RVs can be financed over 15-years and offer a tax deduction. Many owners are helping to pay off their loan by renting out vehicles, when they’re not using them, on peer-to-peer platforms like Outdoorsy.com and RVShare.com.
Try Before You Buy: It can be daunting to decide if an RV is right for you. You can find an RV for rent near you through a local dealership or a peer-to-peer rental company at GoRVing.com under “Get Started”.
Be Ready to Buy: The market is extremely competitive with the record-breaking number of RV buyers in 2021 leaving inventory low nationwide. Manufacturers are working overtime to replenish that inventory with more than 600,000 new RVs being shipped in 2022. With that said, industry experts advise consumers to start shopping now with delivery in time for the 2022 camping season.
