Take your home with you

Potential travelers wary about stepping into airports, planes, trains and hotels during the century’s first pandemic holiday season could try taking their home on the road by renting an RV for their trip. That is something plenty of vacationers have done over the summer, fueling a trend that portends strong growth for the RV rental industry in the months and years ahead.

“Everyone is adjusting their holiday plans and looking for a more socially distant travel alternative due to the pandemic,” says a spokesperson for Outdoorsy, an RV rental firm, adding that the company is currently “on pace to exceed last year’s November bookings – before the month even starts. Bookings for Thanksgiving are already 106% ahead of last year at this point.”
