There’s no denying that RV life is better when shared with fellow travelers—but how do adventurers like you prefer to connect? We recently asked our readers in the newsletter, “What is your favorite way to connect with other RVers?” and the responses were both hilarious and telling. From social media scrolling to campfire convos, RVers have strong opinions about how they bond on the road. And let’s be honest, the fact that RV clubs got zero love is… well, awkward. If you haven’t voted yet, make sure to chime in next time—your opinion could shift the results (and maybe even save RV clubs from total obscurity).
The Poll Results: Are RV Clubs Even a Thing?
Here’s how the votes shook out:
| Connection Method | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Social media groups | 14% |
| In-person meetups | 64% |
| RV clubs | 0% |
| Campground events | 22% |
In-Person Meetups: The Clear Winner (Because WiFi Can’t Replace Campfire Chats)
No surprise here—64% of you said in-person meetups are the best way to connect. Whether it’s swapping stories over a s’more or bonding over a mutual hatred of leveling your rig, nothing beats face-to-face interactions. Apparently, emojis and keyboard applause just don’t cut it when you could be laughing at someone’s failed attempt at backing into a tight campsite.
Social Media Groups: For When You’re Stuck in the RV… Literally
With 14% of the vote, social media groups came in second. They’re perfect for those rainy days when you’re trapped inside thanks to a leaky roof (we’ve all been there). Plus, where else can you post a photo of your rig and get 50 comments saying, “Nice setup!” from strangers who may or may not be bots?
Campground Events: The Underdog That Deserves More Love
At 22%, campground events hold their own—probably because they usually involve food, games, or both. Nothing brings people together like a potluck where half the dishes are mystery casseroles. Still, it’s shocking that RV clubs got absolutely zero votes. Did they forget to send out the memo? Or do people just hate secret handshakes and membership fees?
Why Did RV Clubs Get the Cold Shoulder?
Let’s address the elephant in the room: Why did RV clubs score a big, fat zero? Our theory? RVers are free spirits who don’t want to be tied down by club rules, dues, or mandatory pancake breakfasts. Or maybe everyone just assumes RV clubs are full of people who still argue about the best brand of polyester camping pants. Either way, it’s a brutal blow to organized RV society.
Final Thoughts: RVers Just Want to Hang Out (Without the Bureaucracy)
At the end of the day, RVers crave real connections—preferably ones that don’t require signing up for a newsletter or paying annual fees. Whether it’s spontaneous meetups, social media lurking, or bonding over a campground cornhole tournament, the best moments happen when we’re just being ourselves. So, to RV clubs everywhere: maybe ditch the rulebook and just show up with a six-pack. You might finally get a vote next time.
What do you think? Did the poll get it right, or are RV clubs secretly awesome? Let us know—preferably in person, around a campfire.
