Hey there! Got some cool news about RVs to share.

So, the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association says almost 45 million Americans are hitting the road in RVs this summer. If you don’t have one yet, you might be thinking about getting one soon.

RV dealers are gearing up for a big boost in sales over the next couple of years. People love these “hotels on wheels” because they make road trips super fun and help the economy too.

Chris Collier, the General Sales Manager at Collier RV, mentioned that local RV businesses are really feeling this sales spike. He said, “Most of our buyers are local, but we also get folks from out of state. We recently sold RVs to people from Florida, New York, and even California. These trips help multiple state economies.”

Mick Franklin, the General Manager at Winnebago Motor Homes, thinks RVs are popular because they come with all the comforts of home. “You can take them anywhere—parking lots, college visits, or family trips. You don’t always need an RV park,” he said.

Collier also wants people to see the benefits of owning an RV and not just think of it as a luxury item. “It’s actually an affordable way to travel. With financing options around $100 to $200, it’s a great deal,” he added.

Both Winnebago Motor Homes and Collier RV sell RVs all year round. For more info on rentals and sales, check out their websites and social media.

Catch you on the road!
