Joe Downs explains the boat and RV storage crunch: roughly 20 new boats and RVs hit the road each year for every one new storage space built. That supply-demand gap is driving the entire market.

The single most important data point in this vertical right now for everyone new to the boat and RV storage space, roughly 20 new boats and RVs hit the road to every 1 new space. So I'm going to say that again because what I was trying to say, and maybe I fumbled it here, is for those of you who've never seen this stat or understood this before, For every new spot, parking spot, 20 new every year, new, not used, new boats or RVs. So it's combined 20 hit the road every year, 20 to 1.
