Poll Results: Dining Preferences on the Road

The results are in, and it turns out that a significant majority of our readers prefer to keep things cozy and cook in their RVs.

  • A whopping 82% of you said you prefer to “Eat In,”
  • While only 18% opted for “Eat Out.”

This suggests that most of you enjoy the convenience, comfort, and perhaps even the culinary creativity that comes with preparing your own meals on the road.

Why Cooking in Your RV is a Hit

Let’s be honest, there’s something incredibly satisfying about whipping up a meal in your tiny RV kitchen. For the 82% who prefer to eat in, you’ve likely mastered the art of cooking in a compact space, turning out dishes that would make even Gordon Ramsay nod in approval.

Plus, cooking in your RV allows you to enjoy the comforts of home, even when you’re hundreds of miles away. Imagine savoring a homemade spaghetti Bolognese while parked next to a serene lake—who needs a five-star restaurant when you have five billion stars overhead?

The 18%: Dining Out Adventurers

For the 18% who prefer to eat out, we get it—sometimes you just need a break from cooking and cleaning. Plus, eating out can be an adventure in itself.

Whether you’re sampling local delicacies at a roadside diner or indulging in gourmet cuisine at a fancy restaurant, dining out offers a chance to explore new flavors and experiences. And let’s not forget the joy of having someone else do the dishes!

Conclusion: Why the Results Make Perfect Sense

So why did 82% of you vote to “Eat In”? The answer likely lies in the flexibility and control that cooking in your RV offers. When you prepare your own meals, you can cater to your dietary preferences, manage your budget more effectively, and enjoy the comfort of your own space.

Plus, cooking in your RV can be a fun and rewarding experience, allowing you to experiment with new recipes and ingredients. For the 18% who prefer to eat out, the allure of convenience and the opportunity to explore local cuisine are compelling reasons.
