The Folo by Travel Weekly podcast will be on vacation until August 16. In the meantime, we're pleased to feature a podcast episode from last fall that we think is relevant today: The popularity of U.S. travel by RV.

In this episode, which was originally published last October, reporter Christina Jelski talks about reasons why Americans were choosing to travel by recreational vehicle or camper van during the pandemic, and news editor Johanna Jainchill recounts her own experiences using an RV for vacation.

In the new introduction, host Rebecca Tobin and Jelski discuss how RV travel continues to be a popular mode of transportation.
