This AirBNB of the RV Industry is Seeing Sales Explode During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The RV industry is definitely having a moment during the COVID-19 pandemic as people seek out safe ways to escape their homes for a weekend (or a week). Privately owned Outdoorsy — which bills itself as the Airbnb of RV-centric vacation travel and has raised north of $80 million in the capital since being founded in 2015 — saw sales explode 4,500% from March to June, the company said. Momentum has continued for the RV rental platform through the summer: Labor Day weekend sales have already surged 227% from a year ago.
