• According to a report in RV Pro, Campers Inn RV completed its acquisition of Lazydays RV in November 2025, creating one of the largest dealership consolidations in the US RV industry and expanding Campers Inn’s footprint to 51 locations across 22 states. The deal brings seven former Lazydays locations into the Campers Inn network, with most rebranded while select Airstream stores and the Tampa-area Lazydays location retain their existing identities. For US RV dealers, the transaction underscores continued industry consolidation as larger groups seek scale, stability, and broader service networks. Campers Inn emphasized investments in service capabilities, customer experience, and long-term store support, signaling heightened competitive pressure for smaller and regional dealers.

• According to the RMS 2025 State of the Outdoor Hospitality Report, Gen X and Baby Boomers were the generations who preferred RV-ing, while Gen Z preferred glamping, and the Millennials were partial to tents. Vehicle campers were most likely to be frequent campers for life, while tent campers were slightly more likely to be occasional campers compared to other types. While all camper categories said scenery/location was the highest deciding factor in planning a trip, the report noted that RVers cared more about amenities (16%) and on-site activities (8%), while glampers and van campers were the most price conscious.
