Expectations are that the rise in popularity of outdoor pursuits will spur on the motor home market's growth in the foreseeable future. Leisure activities that take place in nature or open-air places are classified as outdoor activities. Some examples of these include backpacking, canoeing, canyoning, caving, climbing, hiking, hill walking, hunting, kayaking, rafting, different types of water and snow sports, horse riding, among others. Motor homes have become the go-to choice for campers, as they offer a comfortable way to enjoy nature. They give a feeling of home, furnished with amenities like sleeping quarters, a kitchen and bathroom, balancing comfort with the call of the wild. They allow individuals to detach from city life and journey with minimal possessions. In November 2022, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, an American governmental institution responsible for providing officially-sanctioned macroeconomic and industrial data, notably GDP statistics, reported that the outdoor recreation sector contributed 1.9% to the nation's GDP, amounting to $454 billion. Moreover, the outdoor recreation economy saw an expansion of 18.9%, in stark contrast to the overall GDP growth of 5.9%. Thus, the escalating draw towards outdoor activities is fuelling the expansion of the motor home market.

Key players in the motorhome market, like Winnebago Industries, are turning their attention to novel merchandise like the e-RV concept vehicle, to better accommodate their current clients. The e-RV is a non-polluting motorhome that is powered solely by electricity and does not emit any greenhouse gases. It's a car that doesn't release any dangerous substances or exhaust emissions from its onboard power source, making it a more environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional gas-fueled RVs. In an effort to illustrate, Winnebago Industries launched the world's first all-electric, non-emitting motorhome, an e-RV concept vehicle, in January 2022. The vehicle carries vital features such as 350-volt DC power for the water heater and a roof-mounted air conditioner with a heat pump, plus 110-volt AC power for the induction stove and refrigerator, which can also operate on 12-volt DC power for added flexibility. It also boasts battery charge source versatility, allowing it to be charged at home, at campgrounds, or at specially built charging stations, where high-current charging stations can fully charge the unit in approximately 45 minutes.
