In our latest newsletter, we posed a question to our readers: “Have you ever made a significant detour for a scenic route?” As RV enthusiasts, we know that the journey is often just as important as the destination.

This poll aims to uncover whether our community values those picturesque detours that add a bit of magic to our travels.

If you missed voting in this poll, make sure to keep an eye on our future newsletters so you can be a part of our fun and insightful findings. Your participation helps us understand what makes your RV adventures special!

Poll Results

The results are in:

  • A solid 60% of our readers have indeed taken a significant detour just to enjoy a scenic route.
  • On the other hand, 40% of respondents prefer to stick to the main roads, perhaps valuing efficiency over scenic beauty.

The Scenic Route Enthusiasts

For the 60% who voted “Yes,” we salute you! You are the adventurers, the wanderers, the ones who understand that sometimes the best part of a trip is the unexpected vista around the next bend.

You’ve likely found yourself saying, “Let’s see where this road takes us,” only to discover a hidden gem that became the highlight of your journey.

Maybe you’ve encountered a stunning sunset over a mountain range or a serene lakeside picnic spot that wasn’t on any map. These detours are the stories you share around the campfire, the memories that make your travels unforgettable.

The Direct Route Devotees

To the 40% who voted “No,” we get it—sometimes the destination is the priority. Maybe you’re on a tight schedule, or perhaps you’re just not a fan of the unknown.

There’s a certain satisfaction in knowing you’ll arrive exactly when you planned, without any surprises. And let’s be honest, not all detours are created equal.

Some lead to breathtaking vistas, while others might just add miles to your trip without much payoff. So, sticking to the main route can be a smart choice, especially if you’re traveling with a full itinerary or a vehicle that doesn’t handle winding roads well.

Why the Results Came In As They Did

So why did 60% of our readers say “Yes” to scenic detours? We believe it’s because RV enthusiasts are, at heart, explorers. The allure of the open road isn’t just about getting from point A to point B—it’s about the journey itself. Scenic detours offer a sense of adventure and discovery that resonates deeply with those who love the freedom of RV travel.

On the flip side, the 40% who prefer to stay the course might prioritize efficiency, safety, or simply the comfort of the familiar. Both perspectives add to the rich tapestry of RV travel experiences, making our community diverse and vibrant.

In conclusion, whether you’re a scenic route enthusiast or a direct route devotee, there’s no right or wrong way to enjoy your RV adventures. Each journey is unique, and every traveler has their own story to tell.

So, keep exploring, keep sharing, and most importantly, keep enjoying the ride!
