June is RV/Camping Month in Florida
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Recreational Vehicle, so Sun-N-Fun is especially proud to have been chosen as the winner of the National Association of RV Parks & Campgrounds (ARVC) National Mega Park Award for 2010. It’s the highest honor any of the 3700 private Parks and Campgrounds in the U.S. can win – and it’s the second time we done it in the last three years. What a way to celebrate the anniversary of RVing.
As an acknowledgement to the importance of RVing here in Florida, Governor Charlie Crist has signed a resolution initiated by the Florida RV Trade Association (FRVTA) and the Florida Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (FlaARVC), declaring June Recreational Vehicle and Camping Month. The resolution notes some interesting facts about Rvs and RVers, among them:
* 1 in 12 Americans owns a recreational vehicle
* Florida ranks as the best and the most popular RV and camping destination in the U.S.
* More than 5 million people camp in Florida each year
* 20% of all auto visitors to Florida come in a recreational vehicle
* Florida ranks 3rd in the number of RV shipments
* There are 900-licensed recreational vehicle parks and campgrounds with more than 120,000 licensed sites in the state

The RV has played an important part in our history, making it possible for tens of thousands of Americans to explore our great nation up close. To learn more about the fascinating history of the RV and its place in our history, we recommend the newly published book The Dumb Things Sold Just Like That: A History of the RV Industry in America by historian Al Hesselbart. The book, which is filled with photos of vintage RVs, traces the history of the industry and features biographies of eighteen of the RV industry’s most influential leaders. It’s a fun read and we recommend it. You can find it at www.amazon.com
