We recently posed a very important question to our community, one that strikes at the very heart of our mobile lifestyles. The topic of RV length is a classic debate, pitting cozy convenience against palatial rolling estates.
We asked our readers to weigh in on their ideal home-on-wheels size, and the responses did not disappoint. This poll was conducted in our weekly newsletter, so if you missed your chance to vote this time, be sure to subscribe so you can be part of our next round of findings. The results reveal a clear front-runner, along with some fascinating insights into how we all like to roll.
Here is a breakdown of how our readers voted.
| Preferred RV Length | Percentage of Votes |
|---|---|
| Under 25 feet | 10% |
| 25-30 feet | 23% |
| 30-35 feet | 16% |
| Over 35 feet | 51% |
The Reigning Champion: Go Big or Go… Park Somewhere Else?
A whopping majority of you are clearly not messing around. Over half of our voters have declared that when it comes to their RV, bigger is unequivocally better.
This is the “super-size me” mentality on wheels. Why have a modest living room when you can have a grand salon that also happens to get eight miles to the gallon?
We imagine these drivers have a permanent, confident smile as they command their land yachts down the highway.
The Middle-of-the-Road Road Crew
The 25-30 foot and 30-35 foot categories together snagged a respectable portion of the vote. These folks are the savvy negotiators of the RV world.
They seek the perfect balance between having space for a comfortable chair and still being able to navigate a grocery store parking lot without requiring a spotter plane.
It’s the “Goldilocks Zone” of RVing—not too big, not too small, but just right for a game of cards without having to shout across the room.
The Petite and Nimble Pioneers
Let’s hear it for the brave 10% who champion the “under 25 feet” lifestyle! These are the spontaneous adventurers, the masters of minimalism.
They can whip into any campsite, national park, or quaint downtown spot without a second thought. Their mantra is freedom and flexibility, and they probably have the best gas mileage stories to tell.
While the rest of us are still trying to level our rig, they’ve already got the campfire going and a drink in their hand.
So, Why Did the Results Lean So Heavily to the Large Side?
We believe the overwhelming preference for RVs over 35 feet is a direct reflection of the modern RVer’s desire for a true home-away-from-home. It’s not just about getting from point A to point B anymore; it’s about bringing all the comforts of a stationary house along for the ride. People are working remotely, traveling with families, and staying on the road for longer periods, which demands more space for offices, privacy, and storage. Essentially, the dream has evolved from simple adventure to mobile luxury, and that requires some serious square footage. The result is a community that values spacious comfort so highly, they’re willing to master the art of piloting a small building to get it.
