The RV industry is seeing significant gains in the past years with record sales and ownerships. A major cause for this is the baby boomer. As this generation reaches retirement age, they have a significant amount of savings and the drive to embark on RV ownership.

Baby boomers’ primary attraction to RVs is in large part due to the ease and luxury the vehicles offer when traveling. Baby boomers are used to having the absolute best in life and they continue this with their RVs. The market for RV accessories and features is growing as baby boomers demand state of the art technology to make their own lives easier while traveling.
Fantastic innovations are being released with each new model and baby boomer consumers are eager to snatch them up. It would seem that baby boomers prefer luxury and are willing to pay the price for it.
As baby boomers find themselves with an empty home, money to spare, and time to waste, they are turning to the possibility of travel. RVs provide an affordable and easy way for them to get where they want to go while exploring everything in between. Many baby boomers are even opting to use the RV as a primary residence, selling their foundation based homes so they can travel all year round.
With such a decision, the baby boomers make sure to purchase an RV that meets and exceeds any and all demands and desires. Future RV sales only promise to grow as more and more baby boomers reach the age of 50 and up.
Baby boomers are also affecting everything connected to the RVs, including campgrounds. The amount of campgrounds around the US is increasing as more RVs take to the road. Campgrounds are no longer just a place in the remote woods with a pay phone and a small office; they are beginning to reflect the luxurious lifestyle of baby boomers.
Elite resorts complete with pools, golf courses and Wi-Fi capabilities are springing up all over the country to meet the demand. These resorts are ideal for the RVers who would rather not rough it in the wild but still need that sense of freedom that has attracted them to an RV in the first place.
The RV industry is more than happy to meet the desires of the baby boomer generation, recognizing that this group is more willing to spend money on deluxe vehicles. Baby boomers enjoy the advancements and options that are presented to them and often, this type of marketing is the final push that gets them on the road.
Baby boomers have a large impact on any industry and the RV industry is no different.
