RV life is all about adventure, exploration, and… sitting in a camp chair doing absolutely nothing? That’s right—we asked our readers, “What’s your favorite activity to do at your RV destination?” and the answers were slightly concerning for those of us who thought hiking boots were standard RV gear.
From hardcore sightseers to professional relaxers, the responses were as varied as the contents of your RV’s junk drawer. And if you missed this poll, don’t worry—our newsletter is always cooking up fun surveys, so make sure to vote next time and have your voice heard (or at least help us prove that napping counts as an outdoor activity).
The Poll Results: A Shocking Display of Laziness… Er, Relaxation
Here’s how the votes broke down:
| Activity | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Hiking | 3% |
| Fishing | 3% |
| Sightseeing | 28% |
| Relaxing at the campsite | 66% |
That’s right—two-thirds of you proudly declared that your favorite part of RVing is not moving.
“Relaxing at the Campsite” – A Fancy Term for Doing Nothing
Let’s be real: “Relaxing at the campsite” is just code for “I paid $50,000 for a mobile hotel room, and by golly, I’m gonna use it to sit down.” Who can blame you? After hours of driving, leveling, and arguing with your spouse about whether the awning is actually level, collapsing into a camp chair with a cold drink is basically an extreme sport. And with 66% of the vote, it’s clear that the true spirit of RVing isn’t adventure—it’s recovery.
Sightseeing: For Those Who Still Want to Pretend They’re Active
Coming in at a respectable 28%, sightseeing is the “I’m not lazy, I’m cultured” option. These are the folks who will drive to a scenic overlook, snap a photo, and then immediately return to their campsite to “process the experience” (aka nap). It’s the perfect middle ground—you technically did something, but you didn’t have to break a sweat doing it. Well played.
Hiking & Fishing: The Overachievers (aka 3% of You)
To the 3% who said hiking and the other 3% who said fishing—congratulations, you’re officially the outliers. While everyone else is perfecting the art of doing nothing, you’re out there climbing mountains and wrestling trout like some kind of RV superhero. We salute you… but also, are you sure you didn’t misread the question?
Why the Results Make Perfect Sense (And Why We’re Not Surprised)
Let’s be honest—RVing is exhausting. Between setting up, breaking down, and trying to remember where you packed the coffee, it’s no wonder most people just want to stop moving once they arrive. Plus, the whole point of an RV is to bring your creature comforts with you, so why wouldn’t you spend your time enjoying them? The real adventure is surviving the drive to the campground—everything after that is just a well-deserved break.
So, to the 66% of relaxation enthusiasts: Keep doing you. To the sightseers: Keep pretending you’re not tired. And to the hikers and anglers—maybe tone it down a little? You’re making the rest of us look bad.
Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have a camp chair with our name on it.
