Norm Roy and his wife Holly have been RV nomads for the last 23 years. When they started this venture, Norm explains that they traveled by the seat of their pants and pulled into campgrounds with rarely a reservation made.
With RV sales skyrocketing (sales have doubled from 2008 to 2017) there is a segment of the travel business that has not kept up-the campgrounds. Norm even describes how “scalpers” are using technology to circumvent the reservation systems and sometimes selling campsites for up to a 600 percent profit. We think that is outrageous!
Norm has some great suggestions for dealing with these shortages in his article in Trailer Life Magazine.
