Ah, the age-old question that has puzzled RV enthusiasts since the dawn of time (or at least since RVs became a thing): to tow or not to tow? It’s a dilemma that has caused more heated debates around campfires than politics and pineapple on pizza combined.

We decided to put this question to our readers in our newsletter poll, asking the simple yet profound question: “Do you tow a car behind your RV?”

If you haven’t voted yet, don’t worry! There’s still time to make your voice heard and be part of our groundbreaking research. After all, every vote counts in this high-stakes world of RV polling!

Now, drumroll please… The results are in

And they’re more exciting than finding an empty dump station on a busy weekend!

  • A whopping 61% of respondents said “YES” to towing a car,
  • While 39% bravely declared “NO.”

It seems the majority of our RV warriors are embracing the “more is more” philosophy when it comes to vehicles on the road.

The Tow-ers: Masters of Preparedness

To the 61% who tow, we salute you! You’re the Boy Scouts of the RV world, always prepared for any adventure (or grocery run) that comes your way. Your motto? “Why drive one vehicle when you can drive two… sort of?”

These road warriors have mastered the art of looking in their rearview mirror and seeing not just where they’ve been, but also their escape vehicle for when the RV inevitably gets stuck in a drive-thru.

The No-Tow-ers: Minimalists on Wheels

To the brave 39% who said “no” to towing, we admire your courage and your ability to pack light. You’re the Marie Kondos of the RV world, asking yourselves, “Does this extra vehicle spark joy?” and deciding that no, it does not.

These free spirits have embraced the “one vehicle to rule them all” philosophy, turning their RVs into Swiss Army knives on wheels.

The Great Towing Debate: Why We Think the Results Came In As They Did

In conclusion, the results of our poll reflect the diverse needs and preferences of the RV community. The majority choosing to tow a car likely stems from a desire for flexibility and convenience.

Towing a car provides the freedom to explore local areas without breaking camp, run errands more easily, and have a backup transportation option. This is especially appealing for those with larger RVs that may be challenging to maneuver in tight spaces or urban environments.

On the other hand, the significant minority who choose not to tow may prioritize simplicity, fuel efficiency, and the challenge of making their RV work for all situations.

They might prefer the minimalist approach, enjoying the simplicity of managing just one vehicle and possibly opting for alternative transportation methods like bicycles or scooters when needed.

Ultimately, the split in our poll results demonstrates that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to RVing. Whether you’re Team Tow or Team No-Tow, the most important thing is that you’re out there enjoying the open road and creating memories. Just remember, whichever camp you’re in, we’re all united by our love for RV life – and our shared hatred for unexpected campground Wi-Fi fees!
