TAMPA, Fla. - Whether it s spring break or summer travel, one thing is clear: People locked down during the pandemic are ready for an escape.
Craig Carey, the owner of Mid Florida RV, says he s seen a spike in RV rentals since the beginning of the pandemic last year and it hasn t stopped since. Last spring, our summer booked up right away.
