RV life is all about freedom, adventure, and, apparently, scrolling through social media while pretending you’re “just checking the weather.” We recently asked our readers in the Wanderlust Weekly newsletter: “How do you stay informed about RV news and updates?”
The results are in, and let’s just say, some of you are very committed to your daily dose of RV Instagram reels. Whether you’re a forum fanatic, a newsletter nerd, or a social media scroller, this poll reveals how the RV community keeps its finger on the pulse of all things wheels-and-wander.
Did you vote? If not, make sure to cast your ballot next time—your opinion could shift the results (and bragging rights)!
The Breakdown: Where RVers Get Their Fix
Here’s how the votes stacked up:
| Source | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Newsletters | 25% |
| Online forums | 25% |
| Social media | 40% |
| RV clubs | 10% |
Social Media: The Undisputed King of RV Intel
Let’s be real—40% of you admitted that social media is your go-to for RV news, and honestly, we get it. Between stunning sunset campsite pics, viral “RV fails” compilations, and that one guy who turns his rig into a rolling tiki bar, how could you not be hooked? Facebook groups, Instagram influencers, and TikTok tours have become the modern-day campfire where RVers swap tips, tricks, and the occasional horror story about black tank mishaps.
Newsletters & Forums: The Old-School (But Still Cool) Crew
Tied at 25% each, newsletters and online forums prove that some traditions never die. Newsletter lovers enjoy their updates neatly packaged in their inbox—no algorithm chaos, just pure RV knowledge. Meanwhile, forum fans are the detectives of the RV world, digging through threads to find the exact answer to why their fridge only works on Thursdays. Respect.
RV Clubs: The Exclusive (But Lonely) Party
At just 10%, RV clubs are the niche hangout spot—like that one cool speakeasy nobody knows about. Maybe it’s the membership fees, or maybe y’all just don’t like secret handshakes, but either way, club members are out here living their best, organized RV life.
Why Did Social Media Win? Let’s Break It Down
Our theory? Convenience + drama = engagement gold. Social media delivers instant updates with a side of entertainment—whether it’s a viral RV renovation or a heated debate over the best solar panels. Meanwhile, newsletters and forums require a bit more effort (who has time to read these days?), and RV clubs… well, let’s just say not everyone wants to commit to a monthly meetup when they’d rather be boondocking in the middle of nowhere.
So, whether you’re doomscrolling RV memes or geeking out in a forum, keep doing you—just don’t forget to vote in the next poll!
