RV Rentals
Interest in renting RVs continues to increase, with 48% of campers reporting
they are very likely to rent an RV in 2026. This rate is highest among the
younger generations of campers. The surge in RV rental interest among
younger campers signals a critical opportunity for the outdoor hospitality
industry—one that hinges on making rentals accessible through competitive
pricing, clear education, and streamlined entry points for first-time renters.
