RV News Brief | How Will Vaccine Passports Affect RV and Road-Trip Travel?

We thought it would be good to gather information on how Vaccine Passports might affect RV and road-based travel, and get to the bottom of what they mean and what they don’t. Or shouldn’t. 

 

Here are some resources for news about vaccine passports: Current CDC domestic travel guidelines: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/travel-during-covid19.html

Hey RV Miles listeners! We’re trying something new. We’ve been making these short news videos over on YouTube, and a lot of you find them valuable but aren’t regular YouTube watchers. We’re going to begin adding the audio from these news bits into the RV miles podcast feed, so once or twice a week, you can expect to get a short episode (under 10 minutes) in addition to the weekly podcast you know and love. We hope you enjoy these bits of RV and camping news.

In this new episode, we break down a new report from the RV Industry Association's Marketing Arm, GO RVing, about the changing demographics of RV ownership. You can view the top sheet of the report here: https://www.rvia.org/go-rving-rv-owner-demographic-profile
