If you’ve ever spent more time scrolling through RV renovation videos than actually cleaning your own rig, you’re not alone. We recently asked our newsletter subscribers a burning question: What type of RV content do you follow online the most?
The results are in, and let’s just say social media reigns supreme—while blogs got the same love as a flat tire on moving day. Oh, and if you missed this poll, don’t worry! There’s always next time—make sure to vote so your preferences can help shape future content (and so we can all laugh at the trends together).
The Poll Results: A Tale of Social Media Dominance
| Content Type | Percentage of Votes |
|---|---|
| Blogs | 0% |
| YouTube Channels | 33% |
| Social Media Pages | 58% |
| Podcasts | 9% |
YouTube: The Silver Medalist of RV Entertainment
Coming in at a respectable 33%, YouTube proves that RVers love a good visual story—whether it’s a van conversion gone wrong, a tour of a luxury motorhome, or someone attempting to parallel park their 40-foot rig (spoiler: it never goes smoothly). There’s something magical about watching someone else struggle with their awning while you smugly sip your coffee, knowing your RV problems are safely contained in a video and not your driveway.
Social Media: The Undisputed Champion
With a whopping 58% of the vote, social media pages are clearly the MVP of RV content. Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok are flooded with #RVlife glam shots, DIY fails, and those “Look at this breathtaking sunset from our rig!” posts that make the rest of us question our life choices. Let’s be real—scrolling through RV influencers’ perfectly curated feeds is basically virtual camping, and it requires zero bug spray.
Podcasts: The Underdog That Almost Wasn’t
At 9%, podcasts are the quiet cousin at the RV content family reunion. Sure, they’re great for long drives when you’ve already memorized every mile marker, but let’s face it—most RVers would rather watch someone’s solar panel installation disaster than just hear about it. Still, we salute you, podcast lovers. You’re the ones keeping the art of storytelling alive while the rest of us binge-watch tank-dumping tutorials.
Blogs: The Ghost Town of RV Content
Ah, blogs. This one hurt us at RV Showoff. The grand total of zero percent is both tragic and hilarious. It seems written RV content is about as popular as a black tank leak in the living room. Maybe it’s because reading about RV tips feels like homework, or maybe we’ve all accepted that watching someone wrestle with their slide-out is just better in video form. Either way, pour one out for the bloggers—they tried.
To those of you who didn’t vote, but are actually reading this blog… we love you and thank you!!
Why Did the Results Shake Out This Way?
Let’s break it down: Social media wins because it’s fast, addictive, and packed with eye candy. RV life is all about visuals—stunning landscapes, clever storage hacks, and the occasional “Oops, I forgot to chock the wheels” moment. YouTube comes in second because, well, sometimes you need a 20-minute deep dive on how to fix your fridge. Podcasts? They’re for the road warriors who’ve already watched everything. And blogs? In a world of instant gratification, they’re the slow-cooked meal nobody has time for anymore.
So, what’s the takeaway? If you’re creating RV content, better grab your phone and start filming—because apparently, nobody’s reading anymore.
Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’re off to film a dramatic reenactment of our last sewer hose incident. For social media, of course.
