As we all know, the industry saw incredible growth in the sale of new RVs the past two years. Along with this growth came new generations of people discovering the RV lifestyle, resulting in 50% of RV sales going to new buyers who had never owned an RV. Many of these buyers wanted to spend more time enjoying the outdoors and the many things you can do when you own an RV. Likewise, new accessories, such as electric bike sales have also taken off dramatically. RVers do favor folding bikes to save valuable storage space in the rig.
