RVing with pets can be an adventure in itself! Whether you’re cruising down Route 66 or nestled in a cozy campground, ensuring your furry friends’ safety is a top priority.

Recently, we asked our readers in our newsletter, “Do you use a pet GPS tracker while RVing?”

As pet lovers and RV enthusiasts, we were curious about how many of you are tech-savvy when it comes to keeping tabs on your pets.

If you haven’t participated in one of our polls yet, make sure to vote next time so you can be a part of our exciting results and findings!

Poll Results

The results are in:

  • 78% of our readers voted “No,” they do not use a pet GPS tracker while RVing.
  • Meanwhile, 22% of you are ahead of the curve, ensuring your pets’ every move is tracked.

It seems like the majority of our RV community prefers to rely on traditional methods or perhaps trust their pets’ homing instincts more than technology.

The Great GPS Debate

Let’s face it, RVing is all about freedom and adventure, and maybe some of us feel that a GPS tracker is just one more gadget to worry about. After all, isn’t the whole point of hitting the road to escape the digital leash?

But then again, those little furballs can be unpredictable.

One minute they’re lounging in the RV, the next they’re on a squirrel-chasing mission. For the 22% of you who use a tracker, we bet you sleep a little easier knowing exactly where Fluffy is at all times.

Why We Think the Results Came In as They Did

So, why did the majority of our readers vote against using a pet GPS tracker? It could be that many of us trust our pets to stay close or perhaps we have other methods of keeping them safe, like leashes or portable fences.

There’s also the factor of cost and convenience—some might find the idea of another subscription or gadget more hassle than it’s worth.

Or maybe, just maybe, our RV community is a bit more old-school, preferring to rely on good old-fashioned pet instincts and the bond we share with our four-legged companions. Whatever the reason, it’s clear that while technology is great, sometimes the best security system is a watchful eye and a loving heart.
