When it comes to RV life, not all communities are created equal—some are packed with energetic kids, others with retirees sipping coffee at sunrise, and a few with adrenaline junkies ready to hike a mountain before breakfast. We recently asked our readers in the newsletter: “Which type of RV community do you prefer?” The results are in, and let’s just say… some of you are very committed to your early-bird specials. If you haven’t voted yet, make sure to subscribe and join the fun—your opinion could shift the rankings next time!
The Breakdown: Who Rules the RV World?
Here’s how the votes stacked up:
| RV Community Preference | Percentage of Votes |
|---|---|
| Family-friendly | 12% |
| Retiree-focused | 65% |
| Adventure seekers | 21% |
| Digital nomads | 2% |
Retirees Are Running the Show (Literally, at 8 AM)
With a whopping 65% of the vote, retiree-focused RV communities have claimed the crown—and honestly, we’re not surprised. Who doesn’t love a well-organized potluck, quiet hours strictly enforced, and possibly the best advice on where to find senior discounts? These folks have turned RVing into a fine art, complete with morning walks and early bedtime. Respect.
Adventure Seekers: The Wild Cards
Coming in second at 21%, the adventure seekers are the ones who look at a mountain and say, “I bet my RV can get up there.” These are the folks who choose campgrounds based on proximity to kayaking, rock climbing, or that one obscure hiking trail with more bears than people. They may not always have Wi-Fi, but they’ve got stories—and probably a few bug bites to prove it.
Family-Friendly: The Chaos Crew
At 12%, family-friendly RVers are outnumbered but not outmatched. These brave souls navigate RV life with kids in tow, turning every trip into a mix of laughter, meltdowns, and “Are we there yet?” on loop. Their secret weapon? Sugar. Lots of sugar.
Digital Nomads: The Elusive 2%
Ah, the digital nomads—the rarest of RV creatures, making up just 2% of the vote. These folks are probably reading this article from a remote desert with spotty Wi-Fi, desperately hoping their hotspot holds up long enough to send an email. We salute your dedication (and your patience with slow internet).
Why Did Retirees Dominate the Poll?
Let’s be real—RVing has long been a dream for retirees with time, savings, and a love for the open road. They’ve got the experience (and likely the nicest rigs), plus they’ve perfected the art of not rushing. Meanwhile, families are busy juggling school schedules, adventure seekers are too busy climbing things to vote, and digital nomads… well, they’re probably still buffering.
So, what’s your ideal RV community? Whether you’re a retiree living your best life or a nomad praying for better signal, one thing’s clear: the RV world is as diverse as the people in it. Now, who’s up for a potluck? (Retirees, we’re looking at you.)
