Baby boomers and adventuresome seniors are driving the biggest resurgence in RV sales since the early 1990s.
Evelyn and Leo Carey never dreamed of buying an RV when they were raising kids and fully ensconced in the working world. But about five years ago, Evelyn spied a small, teardrop camper-trailer for sale, and an idea was born.
“I fell in love with the shape of it,” she said. “It was so artsy and so cute.”
About a year later, they ponied up for a 17-foot Casita travel trailer, which they have pulled across America’s roadways for months at a time, exploring state parks, historic trails and prime bird-watching spots.
