Well, it's likely for the same reasons that basically all other outdoor activities have seen sales surges since coronavirus reared its ugly head: It's a way to get outside and to travel without having to be close to people you don't know.
Despite being shut down for two months, the RV industry (which is centered in and around Indiana) expects to hit sales of over 400,000 units by the end of the year. That represents a 4.5% increase over 2019's numbers.
