RV living: more drawn to mobile lifestyle | BenitoLink :
[…] “There are an estimated 1 to 1.5 million American’s living in an RV currently,” said Monika Geracia at the RV Industry Association, up from an estimated 1 million in 2018. In 2019, a survey found almost half of RVers travel full-time, while almost 60% work remotely either part- or full-time. More than 75% are couples and only 3% are families, according to the Escapees website. […]
Thank you for the survey. I really like the graphics they helped explain the percentiles to me.
I am curious to know:
1. The age range of the solo RVers
1 a. The percentage of M and F.
2. Are the figures representing the same sex RVers indicating there are only women , or mostly, or just representative .
3. What is the difference in the class C vs Bus
I’m a 3 yr RVer and love surveys. This is so interesting.
Hi Ann!
To answer your second question, the icons used to delineate information were not chosen for any reason other than to indicate the kinds of relationships, not the sex of those in those relationships (or not, in the case of the solo data). In regards to the same sex statistic, both male and female relationships participated in the survey and are included in the data.
For your third question, a bus is actually closer to a Class A RV. However, we understand that there are RVers who feel strongly about what kind of RV they drive or tow, so we tried to include the varieties within some of those classes in order to accommodate.
Thanks for the info. Definitely valuable.
Do you include “van dwellers” or “van life” minimalists in your survey results? Are they considered part of the Class B crowd, or Others, or not at all in your research?
If they self-identified as Class B, that is where they were included. We did not have a separate category for vans, since most vans are considered Class B RVs.
Thanks very interesting article.
Can I use your Infographic above, if I give Escapees RV Club credit?

Thanks again for your wonderful infographic!
I don’t know if I should be discouraged at the fact nobody was under 30.
Fair point, but keep in mind this survey was circulated two years ago now, and only represents a sample of RVers. There were respondents under the age of 30 at the time, but the percentage was even smaller than the next tier of responses.
That said, a lot has changed in the RV community, thanks hugely to the events of 2020. While there were plenty of RVers under 30 on the road in 2019, I suspect there are even more of you now 🙂
