We asked, you answered, and the results are in! Our latest poll dove into the favorite outdoor pastimes of the RVing community, and the findings paint a vivid picture of life on the open road. The great debate over how we choose to explore beyond our home-on-wheels has been settled, at least for this round of voting.
This topic is a cornerstone of the RV lifestyle, as the freedom to immerse ourselves in nature is a huge part of the appeal. We launched this poll in our recent newsletter, and your participation was fantastic. Remember to subscribe and vote in our next poll so your voice can be part of our future results and findings!
The votes have been tallied, and here’s a look at how your fellow RVers prefer to play outdoors.
| Activity | Percentage of Votes |
|---|---|
| Hiking | 38% |
| Biking | 24% |
| Fishing | 24% |
| Kayaking | 14% |
The Reigning Champion: Hiking
Hiking has clearly stomped its way to the top of the leaderboard. It seems the call of the trail is irresistible for a large portion of the RV crowd.
Perhaps it’s the simple joy of using our own two feet. After hours of driving, stretching the legs is a non-negotiable necessity.
A Tight Race for Second Place
In a dramatic photo finish, Biking and Fishing are tied for the silver medal. This reveals a fascinating split in the community between land-based speed and water-based patience.
The biking crowd loves the wind in their hair as they cruise around the campground. Meanwhile, the anglers are perfectly content sitting for hours, hoping for a nibble.
It’s the ultimate clash of adrenaline versus serenity. We imagine the campfire debates are intense.
Kayaking: The Underdog of Adventure
Kayaking paddled its way to a respectable, if distant, fourth place. This suggests that while many RVers love the water, they might not love portaging a kayak on top of towing their house.
It’s the activity that requires the most additional gear and logistical planning. We get it; sometimes you just want to park and play.
But for that 14%, the freedom of gliding across a serene lake is absolutely worth the extra hassle.
Conclusion: Why We Think the Votes Landed This Way
We believe hiking’s dominant victory comes down to its unparalleled accessibility and flexibility. Unlike biking or kayaking, hiking requires almost no special equipment beyond a good pair of shoes, making it the easiest activity to jump into spontaneously after parking the RV. It perfectly complements the RV lifestyle by offering immediate, low-cost immersion into any natural surroundings, from desert canyons to dense forests.
The tie between biking and fishing highlights two core, yet different, RVing philosophies: the desire for active exploration and the cherished tradition of relaxing in nature. Ultimately, these results confirm that while our methods may differ, the shared goal for all RVers is a deep, personal connection with the great outdoors.
