This may seem like a crazy question, and we’re sure that by far the majority of you will tell us that you own just one RV, but we may be surprised…
On our many Facebook groups, we often see people posting about how they own more than one RV. Perhaps they own one to travel in, and the other is parked on a lot somewhere that they fly to each year to spend a season. Maybe they own one RV that they travel in, but they also own a few vintage RVs—hey, a vintage RV collection sounds pretty cool!
For this week’s poll, we’re diving into this intriguing topic. How many RVs do you own?
Do you stick with one trusty rig, or do you find yourself drawn to owning multiples? Maybe you have a go-to travel RV but also keep a second as a vacation rental or a mobile business space. Or perhaps you have a passion for restoring vintage campers and just couldn’t resist snagging a few extras. Whatever the case may be, we’d love to hear your story!
So tell us, do you own more than one RV? If so, please leave a comment and explain your answer. We’re very curious! Thank you!
I no longer RV but still enjoy reading the newsletter. And still donate a small amount once a year.
Thank you, Gigi! Sorry you’re no longer RVing, but we’re glad you’re still enjoying the newsletter. Also, we appreciate your donation very much, and we appreciate YOU! Take care, and have a great day. 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
Travelled fulltime for 13 years in a 34ft 5th wheel & then parked it on the Gulf Coast of Alabama, in a park as a home base & ordered a new triple slide truck camper that we are continuing to travel in most of the year.
If you include the 6 RVs in the wind chime my wife insisted on getting, it would be 7.
We had 2 until June of this year that’s when we decided to sell the larger of the two. We haven’t done as much traveling in the last 5 years and the smaller is easier to tow, setup and maintain. We’re in our 70’s and want to simplify things when we travel, when you can park your TT in a tent site it’s so much easier to find a spot wherever you travel. We also still keep a tent and use it from time to time.
We downsized our TT from 24’ to 14’ for the same reasons as you. We still have an old TC from 1990 that I’m rebuilding, but we no longer have the heavy truck, and I don’t think our Ridgeline would be happy hauling it, so someone will get a good deal when I finish.
I consider a bicycle to be a “recreational vehicle” for me, and I own four different bicycles, so I suppose that with my travel trailer, I own 5 “recreational vehicles.” With my double track 1Up bike rack on the back of the trailer, one could say I am sometimes towing 3 recreational vehicles at the same time. Would that be triple towing?
I consider my motorcycle a recreational vehicle. Same as an ATV or side by side.
If truck campers are included we have 2 RVs. Big toy hauler and the cabinet for short hops to the mountains where the big one won’t fit.
Why would anyone have more than 1 RV? We have a 2018 LondonAire and a CAM.
I consider it an RV but not for living in, we use it for our property.
How much does insurance cost for more than one RV? One RV’s insurance is bad enough anymore.
2: The larger TT stays in Texas year-round and is used as a winter home. The much smaller TT (SUV towable) is our traveller. We use it for the 1700 mile semi-annual migration between Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and Texas Hill Country. We also use it for regional exploration when our residence changes for the season. Between the two we experience nearly the entire breadth of why people RV, and the types of maintenance and repairs needed (and the associated costs).
We have two. Our first one is a 35′ 5th wheel that we use for longer trips and when we stay in established campgrounds. Our second is an “off-road” 16′ bumper pull. We use that one for off the grid and shorter adventures in the Spring and Summer. It’s outfitted with Lithium batteries and solar panels and a heck of a heavy duty suspension built for 4-wheeling and out of the way places.
Three if you include the Air Camper car top tent. (1975)
Two travel trailers and one destination trailer. Each has its own function/purpose.
All three are loan free. We downsized from a 40 ft 5th wheel to the 30 ft bunkhouse for our snowbird trips to Florida. In a year or two we’re considering going to a single 20-25 ft toy hauler to replace the 15 ft mini toy hauler/cargo camper and 30 ft bunkhouse. We keep our 40 ft destination up in the Adirondacks and currently tow the mini toy hauler up there to take camping trips into the park. The plan is to do the same with the larger toyhauler and also take it to Florida.
Have 2 35′ 5th wheels. One is my son’s place and the other is DH and mine. They are both on our property set up for full time living. DH and I are planning a trip next spring to see our grandson graduate, then what ever strikes our fancy.
For 6 years we had a 40′ 5th wheel permanently installed (with a 20′ wood patio) back in Minnesota. We would drive our 25′ class B+ from California to MN for May – beginning of October. With the Class B we would drive to N. Dakota and Pennsylvania to see relatives and friends. One year we left CA in January and took I-10 to the southen states till April and then headed North to MN for the summer.
Just one. If I want more to work on I’ll buy a boat for the diversity.
We have two. The larger Jayco stays at our RV lot in Boulder City. We take the RPod to music festivals throughout the western US.
I have a Lance 1875 for extended stays (like the 4 months I’ll be in Florida). I have a Ram Promaster that is now a camper van for places that I’ll only be for a week or less at one site.
In my opinion an RV is a vehicle that provides the element of recreation. It can be argued that aside from the routine transportation vehicles we all own any other that one would use for a good time is a “Recreational Vehicle.” I have 3 RV’s – a Motorhome, a Motorcycle and a Show Car. So 3!
C Class in Canada and a Keystone Laredo 295 in New Zealand. I have 2 summers every year.
I have a 5th wheel that I live in. When I first got it, I experienced a blowout on two separate occasions. That scared me enough to say I’m not taking this out anymore because if something happens, there goes my house! Not to mention, it’s big and not easy to fit into places.
I travel a lot what’s going on? I travel with my dog to compete in Agility so I have a 26 foot tagalong that I use for any travel and camping.
We own an ’01 CrossRoads 32′ travel trailer and a ’98 Layton 24′ travel trailer. Both in excellent shape.
I have a 47 year old motorhome I paid $300 for 10 years ago. Since I’m getting old and decrepit, as is the motorhome, I don’t travel more than 300 miles from my home but I still enjoy camping.
Thank you, RV Travel! Second RV, but only one at a time. Happy new year and safe travels! 🙂
