The RV retirement life is loaded with convenient benefits. The most commonly treasured benefit is the ability to connect with others outside of the hustle and bustle of modern day American life. RV retirees have created a tribe of there own. Inside this tribe your former career or economic standing won't win points. Status is earned by your road trip adventures and the journey you're seeking.
The best estimates say 750,000 to one million retirees call R.V.s home, according to Kevin Broom, director of media relations for the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association. He said independent studies suggested their ranks were growing. Although the recession took a toll on sales of new R.V.s, the number of R.V. owners 55 and older increased 20 percent, to 3.6 million, from 2005 through 2011. That is not surprising. “We are seeing a lot more people, 55, 57, 58, who got laid off and decided they couldn’t handle retirement,” said David Gorin, an industry consultant from McLean, Va. “We’re also seeing more people who can use technology to work from the road and those who have just decided, ‘Let’s enjoy life while we can.
