Which Type of RVer are YOU?

The campground industry is seeing a major boom! We see it in the number of spots available at campgrounds and the reports coming in from RV dealership sales and it’s all over popular RV Facebook groups. So many people are hitting the road- and with great reason! Traveling by RV is a fantastic way to see our great country and experience the adventure of a lifetime, all while staying at the best RV resorts and campgrounds! It’s quickly becoming viewed as the safest way to travel. But, what type of RVer are you? There are some exceptions of course, but it seems like most RVers fit into one of three categories. We’d love to hear from you which one you are and if you plan on making the switch to a different type of RVer in the future.

The Long Weekend Warriors
The song “Workin for the Weekend” comes to mind for this type of RVer. This group is filled with people of many different ages that work hard and play harder. These groups are usually very adventurous and out to enjoy what little time they have on their weekends away from responsibility. Many families with children fall into this group. Heading out to the beach to play in the ocean or out to the desert to ride dirt bikes are just a couple of ways the LWWs spend their time. If you are looking for an alternative to expensive hotels and want to head out to your favorite music festival, this is the type of RVer you are.

The Full Time Trekkers
The number of full-time RV/Trailer residences has grown tremendously over the past 10 years. There are several different types of “full-timers.” Some like to stay in one place but prefer an RV over a sticks and bricks house. Others decided that retirement would be more fun if they were traveling. These retirees typically sell their homes and move into large sized coaches and enjoy the freedom that comes with RVing. Many retired folks will work exciting jobs supporting the campground industry to supplement income on the road. Still there is a third type of full-timer, those are the professional Nomads. These nomads understand that these days you can work from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection. Making their living in the virtual world and spending their days virtually enjoying all they can take in. Sounds good to me!

The Home Away From Homers
This lucky group of people gets to have the best of both worlds. They are typically at retirement age but may not have yet retired. They have worked hard to pay for their homes and do not intend on selling them. They use their coaches as a second home and enjoy using it as a tax write off. Depending on what type of weather they enjoy, they will travel with the seasons. I have always told my children that I will be a home away from homer when I retire. I envision myself spending time with my 10 or so grandchildren while parked in front of my children’s’ homes and sleeping in my coach; then hitting the road just in time to have a beautiful summer in a cooler climate and a lovely winter in a warmer climate. Yes, I think that is the kind of RVer I will be…someday.

There are all kinds of people that own RVs and trailers; from the retirees to the working for the weekend crew. No matter what type you are, the MobileRVing lifestyle gives you freedom to live anywhere you like for as long as you like. With nothing to hold you back, take advantage and get out on the road. Happy Trails!
