RV life is all about freedom, adventure, and… binge-watching your favorite shows? That’s right—while some travelers hit the road to disconnect, it seems many are still glued to their screens. We recently asked our readers a burning question in our newsletter: “Do you use streaming services while in your RV?”

The responses were loud, clear, and slightly predictable. If you missed this poll, don’t worry—there will be more! Make sure you’re subscribed and voting so your voice helps shape our next round of hilarious (and sometimes shocking) findings.

Now, let’s dive into the results—because let’s be honest, you’re probably reading this while parked at a scenic overlook with Netflix running in the background.


The Verdict: RVers Love Their Screens (But We Knew That)

The people have spoken, and the results are in:

  • 78% of RVers use streaming services on the road,
  • While a brave (or perhaps Wi-Fi-deprived) 22% said no.

That means for every rugged off-gridder braving the wilderness without Stranger Things, there are at least three others huddled over a hotspot, debating whether to watch another episode.


Why RVers Are Basically Mobile Couch Potatoes

Let’s be real—RVing isn’t always about hiking majestic trails and cooking gourmet meals over a campfire.

Sometimes, it’s about collapsing onto your RV’s “luxury” sofa after a long drive and letting The Office comfort you while your spouse argues with the leveling jacks. Streaming services have become the modern campfire—instead of ghost stories, we’re whispering, “Just one more episode.”

Bad weather? Streaming. Slow campground Wi-Fi? “Honey, drive closer to the office building—I think their signal is stronger.”

Even the most outdoorsy RVers have probably, at some point, sacrificed precious battery percentage for the sake of finishing a season finale.


The 22%: Heroes or Hermits?

To the 22% who said “No” to streaming—who are you?

Are you the ultra-purists who only listen to the sounds of nature (and possibly a distant generator)? Or are you just really good at pretending you don’t have a secret Netflix account? Either way, we salute you. Or suspect you. Maybe both.


Why the Numbers Make Perfect Sense

So why did nearly 80% of RVers admit to streaming on the road?

Simple: RV life has evolved. With Starlink, campground Wi-Fi (questionable as it may be), and unlimited data plans, staying connected is easier than ever.

Plus, let’s face it—after a long day of “adventuring,” sometimes the best part of the trip is kicking back with a good show. And for full-timers? Streaming isn’t just entertainment; it’s a slice of normalcy in a life spent on wheels.

The bottom line? RVers love their creature comforts—and if that means turning their rig into a rolling theater, so be it. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have a date with a roadside diner’s Wi-Fi password and the latest true crime documentary.

Happy streaming (or not)!
