Hitting the road in a self-contained cocoon, which travelers can sanitize to their liking, is on a roll as gasoline prices tumble and Americans seek ways to express their pent up demand to get out of the house. “RVs provide a great way for consumers to enjoy vacations with their families, while still adhering to social-distancing policies that are likely to remain in place in some fashion moving forward,” said RV Industry Association President Craig Kirby. San Francisco-based Outdoorsy.com, a company that connects renters with RV owners, has seen visits to its website hit 2.5 million this month, up 93% compared to the same time last year, according to a spokesperson. Its gross bookings are up 84% year-over-year. "We had our best bookings day on record this week — with 300 percent year-over-year growth that day," she said. [/QUOTE]
