Aside from the early items like toilet tissue, hand sanitizers, and thermometers, people are still exploring ways to find exercise equipment, bicycles, sewing and baking supplies, and of all things, recreational vehicles, or RVs – for either purchase or rental.

Of course, the baking and sewing items have been sought after because people taking up hobbies such as bread-baking and mask-making in their spare time; the exercise equipment replaces the gyms and fitness facilities that are still closed and the bikes provide the opportunity for family exercise and outdoor fun.

And the RVs? Well, this summer they have fast become the number one option for providing a safe and socially distanced all-in-one vacation opportunity. Think about it – RVs are self-contained accommodations that in addition to the amenities they provide, also provide the mode of transport for your next vacation. With the RV as your travel option you don’t have to fly in an airplane or take a train, no hotels or Airbnb to hassle with, and, an RV vacation may even negate the need for public restrooms, based on your selection!

There are some you attach to our own vehicle and tows like up the pop-up campers, teardrop trailers, and fifth wheels and then there are the different classes of motorhomes, Class A, B, and C. What you’ll definitely find in all of them are sleeping accommodations and as you move up the chart, you can find RVs that has it all – plenty of sleeping accommodations, bathrooms with showers, spacious living space with wide-screen TVs and plenty of room for all, fully-appointed kitchens and even outdoor kitchens.
