The inventory of storage yards and campsites won't keep up with the surge of covid buyers. People are going to get frustrated by the lack of available campsite reservations.
Another percentage of the surge of newcomers will get frustrated by towing issues, dumping tanks, and the cheesy battery from the dealer that won't hold a charge.
And those newcomers who actually did get out there and use their rigs will be further frustrated by the whole "new RV" warranty repairs process. Once they've made a bunch of payments for a rig that they can't even use because it's sitting at the dealer's lot waiting for repairs, many of them will head for the exits and sell theirs too.
If I were shopping, I'd wait until the fall when the bloom is off the rose and the novelty has worn off. I think there will be some great "like new" models out there with only a week or two of use. They'll be on Craigslist from October through next Spring and beyond.
