In the world of RV enthusiasts, the debate between staying put and constantly being on the move is as old as the hills—or at least as old as the first RV.

We recently asked our readers this very question in our newsletter: “Do you prefer to stay in one place for a long time or move frequently?” The responses were as varied as the landscapes our readers traverse.

If you missed out on this poll, don’t worry! Make sure to vote in our future newsletters so you can be a part of the results and findings. Your input helps us understand the RV community better and share insights that resonate with everyone.

Poll Results

The results of the poll were quite revealing.

  • A majority, 58%, voted in favor of moving frequently.
  • While 42% preferred to stay in one place.

It seems that the allure of new horizons and ever-changing scenery has a strong pull on many of our readers. On the other hand, a significant portion of our community enjoys the stability and deeper connection with a single location.

The Wanderlust vs. The Homebody

For those who voted to move frequently, we imagine your RV must have more miles than a marathon runner by now! There’s something exhilarating about waking up in a new place every few days, isn’t there?

New neighbors, new views, and let’s not forget the ever-changing local cuisines. Just be careful not to mix up which state you’re in when you’re sending postcards to your family. “Greetings from… somewhere in the Midwest, I think?”

On the flip side, the 42% who prefer to stay in one place might have the most well-decorated RV parks in the country.

You’ve probably got your favorite fishing spot, a local diner where the waitress knows your order by heart, and a garden gnome collection that rivals the best of them.

Stability has its perks too—like knowing exactly where the best Wi-Fi signal is and never having to worry about which drawer you put the can opener in.

Conclusion

So why did the results come in as they did? It seems that the RV community is divided between those who crave adventure and those who seek comfort. The 58% who prefer to move frequently likely enjoy the thrill of new experiences and the freedom that comes with the open road. They are the modern-day explorers, always seeking the next great view or hidden gem.

Meanwhile, the 42% who prefer to stay in one place might value the deeper connections they can make with a community and the sense of home they can create, even on wheels.

Both perspectives are valid and highlight the diverse ways people enjoy the RV lifestyle. Whether you’re a wanderer or a homebody, the most important thing is that you’re enjoying the journey—wherever it may take you.
