Steady numbers show first quarter sales were not a fluke. Summer is in full swing and RV companies are still stocking their dealerships with new model RVs.

The travel trailer has taken in the industry by storm as many are looking for a cheaper alternative to RV travel, but more protection than a traditional tent. Those in their early twenties and thirties are driving the trend towards lightweight environmentally friendly vehicles.

It seems the younger generation has started a buying trend of lightweight travel trailers and fuel-efficient vehicles. Baby boomers on the other hand are still spending on more expensive models such as Class A RVs and Fifth Wheel Campers. No matter what the age, it seems as if more people are returning to the outdoors and doing it in RV style.

Park models are also garnering a lot of attention this year. Park models are RVs, built like a cabin. Many RV Parks are using them to attract families that prefer more comforts than tent camping but still want an outdoor, camping-style vacation. As demand grows, so do the amount of companies manufacturing these RVs. There are a wide variety that can be found everywhere from California to Wyoming.

So where is everybody going? Yellowstone just announced record numbers for June visitation with over 700,000 visitors in one month. July is generally the busiest time of year for National Parks. The fee-free weekend incentives helped renew many a campers’ love of their National Parks.

For those that are reconsidering vacations south to the Gulf Coast, there are websites that are keeping up-to-the-minute information on contaminated areas and oil-free zones. Before canceling your beach trip, contact the resort. Some places are giving a full refund if oil contaminates their beaches before or during your visit. There are still many incredible beach destinations to visit.

The mountains are just beginning to peak with summer wildflowers. For those who prefer slightly cooler temperatures, Rocky Mountain National Park and Glacier National Park still offer nighttime temps in the 30′s and daytime temps in the 60′s and 70′s and higher depending on elevation. They also have less visitors to the back country than some of the country’s more popular parks.

Adventures abound for RV Enthusiasts. No matter your style of travel – travel trailer, fifth wheel camper, Class A RV or pop-up camper – there is an affordable option for you. After buying your new RV, hit the road and check out some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. This year is the RV Industry’s centennial year, which means lots of RV enthusiasts are gathering to share their stories and adventures. Start building your adventures now.
