- Get Ready for the Summer of the RV: “The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has warned that ‘Traveling by RV means you may have to stop less often for food or bathrooms, but RV travelers typically have to stop at RV parks overnight and other public places to get gas and supplies. These stops may put you and those with you in the RV in close contact with others who could be infected.’ Nonetheless, it’s far less of a risk than traveling by plane, train, cruise or automobile.”
