As large rental companies expand customer awareness through diverse
marketing, all quality rental operators benefit. Demand for commercial
RV rentals will continue to accelerate at a faster rate than the supply
of rental RVs. The reason for this phenomenal growth in demand is due to
the Baby Boom Generation.
