Alright, Rvers, we asked and you answered! The debate between luxurious convenience and off-grid adventure is one of our favorite topics in the RV community. We recently asked our newsletter subscribers about their preferred camping style to settle the score once and for all. The question was simple but the answers reveal a lot about our diverse tribe on wheels.
This poll was a fun snapshot of what our readers truly crave when they hit the road. Remember, if you want to be part of future results and findings, make sure you’re subscribed and voting when you see our polls!
Here is a breakdown of how the votes landed in our totally scientific and highly prestigious survey:
| Camping Style | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Full Hookup RV Parks | 68% |
| Week-long (4-7 days) | 12% |
| Extended (2-4 weeks) | 4% |
| Month+ Adventures | 16% |
The Clear Winner: The Glamorous Life
Let’s be honest, 68% of you aren’t messing around. The call of a reliable sewer connection is a siren song too powerful to ignore. Why wrestle with a composting toilet when you can have a porcelain throne that doesn’t require a daily science experiment? This isn’t just camping; it’s suburban living with better views and potentially friendlier neighbors.
The Middle Ground: Strategic Planners
To the 12% who voted for week-long stays, we salute your sensible planning. You’ve mastered the art of the sweet spot. It’s long enough to justify setting up the outdoor rug but short enough to avoid noticing the weird squeak your slide-out has developed. You’re the Goldilocks of the RV world—finding the stay that’s just right before moving on to the next pancake breakfast.
The Hardcore Adventurers
A bold 16% of you are signing up for month+ adventures. Your rig isn’t a vehicle; it’s a transplantable root system. We assume you have a permanent marker for crossing off days on your rig’s exterior and have named the local squirrels. Meanwhile, the 4% who chose extended 2-4 week stays are the cautious pioneers, testing the waters before possibly joining the month-long club… or running back to the nearest hookup.
Why The Plug Won Out
We think the results are a hilarious and honest reflection of real RV life. The overwhelming vote for full hookups isn’t a rejection of adventure, but a celebration of comfort and community. After a long day of exploring, nobody wants a negotiation with their water pump or a midnight dash to the dump station. It seems the dream often includes a reliable electrical umbilical cord and the freedom to use a hair dryer without triggering a power crisis. Ultimately, this poll shows that for most, the joy of RVing is in the journey and a long, guilt-free shower at the end of the day.
