Assuming the vaccines are successful, we are probably looking at 2022 before we see a big dumping of RVs (if that happens at all). A lot of people will still be nervous about air travel for a year or two.
Nervous for a year or two, these are not flying around empty.

Plus keep in mind, it's not unusual for a family of 4 to dump $10k into a 2 week vacation...so I don't think people are going to panic over a $20k RV sitting in the back yard.
From what I have seen the Covidiot Campers did not buy $20K rigs but the largest most expensive they could find or afford, or thought they could afford. When this pandemic all shakes out along with recent events, and the coming recession hits home because of that, a lot of folks are going to be in a world of financial hurt.
Now show us that same map from the same period last year and add in the occupancy rates...air travel is down massively. Even worse if you look at international travel. Show us a similar set of maps for the transatlantic routing with occupancy and try to make the claim people are still flying in similar numbers.
As far as buying $200-500k rigs, I'm sure some did sell but the simple fact is there weren't that many sitting around on dealer lots. Most were you basic entry to mid level towables.
