Picking out the perfect RV to fit your lifestyle
Are you dreaming of hitting the road this summer? Looking to upgrade your RV? (Or are you just curious to find out your RV personality?) Either way, your new RV will depend entirely on your lifestyle, travel goals, and personal preferences.
Let’s take a look at some of the most common RV personalities, and discover which RV is right for you.
The Weekender
The Weekender works a 9-5 job and has limited time to enjoy the RV life. But they live for their weekends and vacation time! Weekenders want to disconnect for a little while and enjoy the beauty of nature.
Since they’re not planning any long trips for a while, they don’t mind giving up the luxuries of home for a couple of nights. They just want something basic, with no fuss and as little preparation as possible.
If this sounds like you, the RV that matches your personality is the 2022 Leisure Travel Unity U2MB. This class B motorhome is compact, easy to navigate, and provides all the basics – including a shower, a cooktop, and a TV.
The RV Family
The RV Family is like the Weekender’s older sibling. They share several similarities; for one, their time in the RV is limited to the weekends and vacations. Between work, the kids, and everything else, there’s not always a lot of time to hit the road. So when they do, they want to enjoy themselves–and make sure the kids do, too.
All the same, the RV Family’s goal is to disconnect, and what better way to disconnect than on the road? If this sounds like you, that means you’re the 2022 Jayco Jay Flight SLX7 174BH. This bad boy has a queen-sized bed with a privacy curtain for the parents and two bunk beds for the kids. With a full kitchen and bathroom, this travel trailer has everything you and the kids need for your weekend getaway. And because it’s so light, towing it is easy peasy.
The Golden Agers
Golden Agers have reached – well, the golden age. They’ve worked their entire lives, and now, it’s time to reap the benefits. Golden Agers are serious about relaxing and are looking for all the comfort and amenities they can get in their RVs. At the same time, they still want to enjoy the outdoors and all the activities that come with it, like hiking, boating, birding, you name it!
If you’re a Golden Ager, your RV is the Jayco Jay Flight Bungalow 40LOFT. This one is the height of luxury, with a kitchen island, a fireplace – and even a washer and dryer. All the comforts of home, away from home, so you can enjoy your travels as much as possible.
The Adventurer
This RV personality type is always looking for their next adventure. They don’t need the same luxuries as other RV personalities – they’re not in it for the comfort; they’re in it for the unforgettable experiences. Whether it’s a spontaneous trip to the mountains, a summer camping excursion, or a tour across the country, the Adventurer is looking for an adrenaline rush. You only live once, right?
If this is your RV personality, you’re the 2022 Coachmen RV Catalina Trail Blazer 28THS! This toy hauler has ample space for all the toys you’ll want to bring on your adventure, from kayaks to ATVs to mountain bikes – and whatever else you want to bring on your excursion. Its king-sized bed, three-burner range, and 18” awning make this model as comfortable as it is functional.
The Beginner
As you might have guessed, the Beginner wants to spend more time on the road but probably doesn’t own an RV. The Beginner might be an experienced camper, and is ready to upgrade to tackle their long list of bucket-list destinations. But for a Beginner, the world of RVs can be a little overwhelming.
The perfect RV for the Beginner is the 2022 Forest River RV Flagstaff Mac Series 176LTD. It may be light in features compared to other RVs in this list, but that makes it the perfect low-maintenance RV for the Beginner. It’s light enough to be towed by a minivan, and the two tent beds fold up for easy storage.
The Nomad
Who is the Nomad? Some may call this personality type the Full-Timer. In this digital age, the Nomad can work remotely while on the road. Whether a freelancer or a remote worker, now that they’ve discovered their independence, there’s no going back. And no one can blame them.
If you’re among the Nomad RV personalities, check out the 2020 Grand Design Reflection 150 Series 260RD. While on the larger and pricier side, fifth wheelers are ideal for Nomads. If you’re planning to live and work in your RV, a fifth-wheeler is as spacious and comfortable as an apartment. An apartment on wheels.
The Escape Artist
These personality types are quite elusive, as their name suggests. The Escape Artist loves to get off the grid, disappear for a while, and reconnect with nature. Really connect. That means no plugging in, electric hookups, or sewage hookups. You’ll find these types way off the beaten path.
So, which RV is the one for you? If you’re an Escape Artist, try the 2022 Jayco Jay Feather Micro 166FBS. Small and light enough to navigate those back-country roads, this modest little trailer comes prepped for a solar-powered roof and pre-wired for an inverter. Plus, it contains a 55-gallon water tank – perfect for boondocking. Guess we won’t be seeing you for a while!
