Upgrading or renovating an RV can mean anything from a minor interior facelift to a complete overhaul, and it’s interesting to see how often our community engages in these activities.

Recently, we posed an intriguing question to our readers in our newsletter: “How often do you upgrade or renovate your RV?”

This topic is particularly fascinating because it delves into how RV owners maintain and enhance their mobile homes. RV enthusiasts love discussing the ins and outs of their RVs almost as much as hitting the open road!

We encourage all our readers to participate in these polls to share their experiences and insights. Remember, your vote matters and helps us understand the trends and preferences within our RV community.

Poll Results: The Great RV Makeover Debate

The results are in, and they might surprise you!

  • A whopping 60% of our readers admitted they rarely upgrade or renovate their RVs.
  • Meanwhile, 40% of you are more proactive, opting to give your RVs a facelift every few years.
  • Interestingly, not a single person voted for annual upgrades. We thought maybe there would be at least 1 person that upgrades their RV’s like their cell phones… apparently not!

It seems that our readers prefer to keep their RVs in their original glory for as long as possible, or perhaps they’re just too busy exploring to bother with renovations.

The Rarely Renovators

For the 60% of you who rarely upgrade or renovate, we tip our hats. You’ve clearly mastered the art of RV maintenance or maybe you’ve just accepted that duct tape and good intentions can fix almost anything. Perhaps your philosophy is, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” or maybe you’re just too busy enjoying the great outdoors to worry about a little wear and tear. After all, who needs a shiny new RV when you’ve got a million-dollar view outside your window?

The Every Few Years Upgraders

To the 40% who upgrade every few years, we salute your dedication to keeping your RVs in tip-top shape. Whether it’s swapping out those dated curtains, upgrading the kitchen appliances, or finally fixing that squeaky door, you know the value of a well-maintained RV. You’re the kind of folks who believe that a fresh coat of paint and a few new gadgets can make all the difference in the world. Plus, there’s something satisfying about knowing your RV is always ready for the next adventure, even if it means a bit of elbow grease now and then.

The Annual Upgraders (Or Lack Thereof)

And to the 0% who upgrade annually, we have to ask: where are you hiding? Maybe you’re the unicorns of the RV world, or perhaps you just didn’t get around to voting this time. Either way, we know you’re out there somewhere, meticulously planning your yearly renovations like a home improvement show on wheels. We can only imagine the pristine condition of your RVs, and we’re both impressed and slightly envious.

Conclusion: Why the Results Make Sense

So, why did the results turn out this way? We believe it boils down to a mix of practicality and the RV lifestyle itself. For many, the joy of RVing lies in the freedom and simplicity it offers. Frequent upgrades might seem unnecessary when the goal is to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. On the other hand, those who do renovate every few years likely see it as an investment in their comfort and enjoyment on the road. After all, a well-maintained RV can make those long journeys even more pleasurable. Ultimately, whether you’re a rare renovator or a frequent upgrader, the most important thing is that you’re out there, enjoying the adventure. Happy travels!
