One of the perks of living full-time in an RV is never having to mow the lawn, or do much landscape work in general. It’s nice to live in an RV park where professional landscapers maintain your “yard” for you, isn’t it?
If you’re like one of these people in this funny video, perhaps it’s best that you don’t own a lawnmower…

Yes, I own a Lawn Mower, but I am not a full timer and have a S & B to maintain.
Ditto Ed’s comment. We live in New Mexico where most of our yards are covered with gravel. I use mine to cut down weeds outside our fence.
Have 20 year old riding mower but my grandson does the mowing.
Yes, still cut my own grass for exercise.
Yes I own a big one as I mow all 11 acres of grass at my home.
Mowing the grass is not bad. Only takes about 3 hours.
Weedeating is a different story. I HATE weedeathing! I hire that out!
I have two. One that will no longer start.
And I don’t own a snow shovel,either!
We live in the mountains and have only native bushes flowers and trees….but I planted Apple & cherry trees and black berry, red raspberry and boysenberry vines!
Several mowers, from push to brush cutter. I guess I not typical as have 62 acres, and 14 of pasture for horses.
Actually I’m very similar to you. 67 acres, 15 woods 45 pasture and 7 I keep as lawn. Of the 45 pasture I brush hog 10 and plant corn in the 35 remaining. So I have A huge diesel 60″ zero turn mower and a few push mowers along with the brush hog on the tractor. Not to mention the plows on the tractor, Kubota UTV and the quad plus a snow blower and snow shovels that come into play as needed. Several string trimmers, leaf blowers and chain saws, too.
We own two. One that I ride and one that I walk behind for the trim. And we do own a snow blower and more than one snow shovel. However, over the past three years, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany, New York have gotten more snow than Buffalo. We actually live in a suburb of Buffalo and get very little snow.
When we joined the FT RV community I gave up yard work, in fact, I gave up the yard for Lent. Never picked it up agian.
Own, but as of this year, do not operate personally.
1 46″ riding mower and a 48″ pull behind. We’re fulltimers and own 2 acres in MN where we stay in the summer.
I’ve been living in an RV since 1992 so, of course, I don’t need a lawn mower. Even when I lived in a house, I was always fortunate enough to have a teen-aged neighbor boy to mow my yard, using his own mower. That’s my type of yard work. :>)
not full-timers and we haven’t owned a lawn mower for 25-30 years. we hire that and snow removal out.
We mowed 7 at our last place with a 72″ Jacobsen Turfcat diesel.
Now I mow about 1/2 acre with a 21″ battery powered push mower.
LOL it is the last thing we think about. We’re full time. In a resort…they mow and in a COE…natural “weeds”are beautiful. A blower ; yes.
Lawn mower? What’s a lawn mower? We don’t need no stinking’ lawn mower.
Another fan of Treasure of Sierra Madre. Yay!
Question for the Full Timer RVers that own a lawn mower. When moving from campground to campground. Do you trailer the mower, dolly it or tow it 4 down behind your rig? LOL One reason we went fulltime was to get away from mowing.
Don’t have a “lawn” but I use a Swisher 44″ trail cutter that I tow behind my Can-Am UTV to keep the gravel roads tidy around our 35 acre ranchito here in So. Colorado. The weeds grow fast!
Have never owned anything but a push mower..good exercise..
Mower? Yes we have two riders and a push mower too – with a 1.25 acre homestead we need them. The rest of the year they blow snow!
Several years ago, I noted a yard in Sun City, CA with a push mower surrounded by small white rock and parked in the middle of an obligatory green rock yard. I presume it was a monument to their past memories! Creative and impressive!
I love that idea!
Our wonderful Honda Harmony push mower sits in our gardening shed now, because I hired Jose to come once a week and mow for us. He does a FAR better job than I EVER did, and he fertilizes and sprays weed killer (not in the same spot . . .).
I answered “Yes” because my wife owns a lawn mower which my brother-in-law used to mow the lawn (seven acres) until recently, when his health got too bad to ride the mower. They now hire someone to do it. I, myself, haven’t mowed a lawn in over ten years and have no desire to start doing it now.
My husband is 71 and loves to mow our huge yard with his riding lawn mower. It keeps him busy and active. He also weedeats and sprays. He is now wanting a zero-turn mower.
I love my zero turn mower!
Yes, because we’re still at home. If I was FT I would have a small battery weed whacker to clean around picnic tables, trailer, water/sewer connections, etc. Places a mower doesn’t usually reach. And of course, the grass, if necessary.
Yes we are full time RV people and I have a rider mower because I am not mowing with push mower I have a ( lot) size when we decide to up and move we just trailer the mower with us along with all our other belongings. It’s a hassle but it’s well worth it 😊
Are we scraping the bottom of the barrel for poll topics?
I don’t own a mower. Converted our lawn to no maintenance 15 yrs ago due to the drought. I do mow the in-laws lawn (or maybe weeds).
I own a 30″ rider, can’t walk the yard anymore
We have a lawn, therefore a couple of mowers. Love to mow our acreage. Summer time in Florida sometimes dictates that I mow twice a week. I love it. I couldn’t full time because I couldn’t take my yard with me. lol
Nope, no lawn at summer or winter home. Lots and lots of native plants though. Now, if there were a mower that just weeded. . .
We’re half timers with a tiny 50 foot wide lot in western SD so yes we have a push (gas powered) mower.
I abandoned the true push mowers when gas or electric motors on top of the mowers came along. (Ask your parents or grandparents about real push mowers sometime.)
No room to store one in the motorhome. Wait a minute. I’m a fulltimer and I don’t own a yard to mow.
Not sincve I sold my house in 2018 and became a Full Time RVer.
Yes, but I leave it home when we travel.
We do own a lawnmower, but it is battery powered and due to non-use for 10+ years the batteries need to be replaced. Our lawn service people use their own lawnmowers on our yard.
One of the perks of living in the desert, no lawn and no mowing!
Yes, a push mower. I love the smell of cut grass & I like walking
Hi, cee. Yes, I like the smell of fresh-mowed grass also. I have a huge cedar tree in my back yard and the branches hang down to the ground. I used to tell my folks that there’s nothing like the smell of fresh-mowed cedar. Kinda Christmasy, in fact. 😀 —Diane at RVtravel.com
Unfortunately, yes, I do. But with almost daily showers in South Florida, the weeds win in height over the grass before I can finish the entire yard. I used to love mowing and tending to the landscape….now, I abhor it and ecstatically looking forward to becoming a year-round nomad.
Yes, battery power mower works great.
