Ever wondered how your fellow RV enthusiasts spread the word about their epic road trips, campground fails, and “hold my coffee while I back this rig” moments? We asked our readers, “How do you share your RV experiences with others?”—and let’s just say, the answers were almost as unpredictable as a rookie driver trying to parallel park a 40-foot motorhome.
This poll was featured in our latest newsletter, and if you missed voting this time, don’t worry—there’s always next round! Make sure to cast your vote so your voice can help shape future results (and so we can all collectively judge each other’s life choices).
The Poll Results: A Tale of Two Extremes
Here’s how the votes stacked up:
| Sharing Method | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Blogging | 0% |
| Vlogging | 0% |
| Social Media | 43% |
| Word of Mouth | 57% |
That’s right—zero percent for blogging and vlogging. Not a single soul. Meanwhile, social media and good ol’ fashioned storytelling (aka “word of mouth”) dominated like a seasoned RVer snagging the last pull-through spot at a crowded campground.
Social Media: The Modern Campfire Story
With 43% of the votes, social media is clearly the go-to for sharing RV adventures. Whether it’s Instagram-worthy sunsets, Facebook rants about bad dump stations, or TikTok fails involving awning mishaps, RVers love a digital audience. It makes sense—why describe your epic journey when you can just post a shaky video of your spouse trying to level the rig while muttering very un-campground-friendly words?
Word of Mouth: The OG of RV Storytelling
But the real winner? Word of mouth (57%)—the original, unfiltered, “you had to be there” method of sharing RV tales. There’s something magical about sitting around a real campfire (not just the Instagram-filtered kind) and swapping stories about that one time you accidentally hooked up to the wrong septic line. No editing, no likes, just pure, uncut RV wisdom passed down like a sacred tradition.
Why Did Blogging and Vlogging Get Shut Out?
Let’s be real—blogging and vlogging got the same love as a soggy campfire log (0%). Maybe it’s because writing a blog feels like homework, and vlogging requires remembering to charge your camera instead of just yelling, “Hey Siri, take a video!” mid-crisis. Or perhaps RVers are just too busy living the adventure to bother editing it into a 10-minute montage set to royalty-free ukulele music.
Conclusion: RVers Keep It Real (and Low-Maintenance)
So why did word of mouth and social media win? Because RV culture is all about authenticity and convenience. Social media is quick, easy, and perfect for humble-bragging about your rig. Word of mouth? Even better—it’s free, requires no Wi-Fi, and comes with the added bonus of dramatic hand gestures. Meanwhile, blogging and vlogging demand effort, and let’s face it—after a long day of driving, the only thing most RVers want to edit is their naptime schedule.
