“Vacationing might be one of the biggest reasons for getting RVs, but, it could also be the new homes for those that can no longer afford regular homes and regular rent for apartments.”
Where I am at on the Texas coast a significant portion of the population lives full time in travel trailers. RV parks are being built as fast as they can. Central Texas will also see a boom in RV parks with the already high cost of housing and Samsung and others building factories.
Earlier in our retirement we lived full time and spent winters in the Rio Grande Valley.
Health problems caused us to quit and now as we age we no longer own the RV ( it costs to park it in a lot somewhere close to where we live).
However, the South Texas border is also far more dangerous due to the cartel activity than when we visited. In an RV you have to be able to defend yourself. (Yes, we were armed.)
