Yuuup!
Will be fun to see.

You may think it’s a lot of work but newbies I’ve talked to are kicking themselves for not getting stared earlier. Also, telework is here to stay and young folks have realized there is no better way to telework and have career mobility than with the RV lifestyle.

Folks aren’t as lazy or uneducated as some would lead others to believe.

Something to think about, how many RV newbies are taking advantage of the real estate sellers market right now and becoming full timers? That 30 to 45k over asking will go a long way towards buying an RV.

My prediction is higher prices for RVs and fewer available campsites which will also lead to higher prices.
