When it comes to hitting the open road in your RV, one question that often comes to mind is whether or not you have roadside assistance. It’s a topic that can spark lively debates around campfires and in RV parks across the country.
Recently, we asked our readers this very question in our newsletter poll: “Do you have roadside assistance for your RV?”
The responses were quite revealing and gave us a clear picture of how our community feels about this essential service. If you missed this poll, don’t worry! Be sure to participate in our future polls so you can be part of the conversation and share your valuable insights.
Poll Results: The Numbers Are In!
Drumroll, please! According to our poll:
- A whopping 81% of our readers have roadside assistance for their RVs.
- Meanwhile, 19% of you adventurous souls prefer to brave the highways without it.
Whether you’re a cautious planner or a risk-taking road warrior, these numbers tell an interesting story about the priorities and preferences of RV enthusiasts.
The Roadside Assistance Dilemma: To Tow or Not to Tow
So, why do such a high percentage of RV owners opt for roadside assistance? Well, let’s face it—there’s nothing quite like the sinking feeling of being stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire, an overheated engine, or a mysterious clunking noise that just won’t quit. For 81% of you, the peace of mind that comes with knowing a tow truck is just a phone call away is worth every penny. After all, who wants to spend their vacation waiting for Cousin Eddie to show up with a wrench and a questionable repair strategy?
On the flip side, we have the 19% who scoff at the idea of roadside assistance. Perhaps you’re the MacGyvers of the RV world, armed with duct tape, a Swiss Army knife, and an unshakable confidence in your ability to fix anything. Or maybe you just enjoy living on the edge, embracing the unpredictability of life on the road. Either way, we salute your bravery (and hope you never have to change a tire in the rain).
Conclusion: Why the Results Make Perfect Sense
The results of our poll are not entirely surprising. RV owners who invest in their home-on-wheels often see the value in protecting that investment with roadside assistance. The majority of our readers likely appreciate the convenience and security it offers, especially when traveling through remote areas where service stations are few and far between.
On the other hand, the 19% who forgo this service might do so because they have confidence in their mechanical skills or prefer to save money. Ultimately, whether you’re in the 81% or the 19%, the important thing is to be prepared for whatever the road throws your way. Safe travels, everyone!
