The RV lifestyle is admired by many, and for good reason. Having no fixed address with the absolute freedom to roam and explore as you please seems like the “good life” that so many people dream of. Whether you’re considering taking to the road for the first time or are a seasoned full-timer, these reasons to love RVing just might resonate with you:

Change in Priorities

Leaving your mortgage, daily commute and other bills behind can really shift your priorities. This sort of lifestyle change can leave you feeling revived. While packing up your home may be a difficult process, it can shed light on the things that are truly important to you and which are necessary to have a happy life. A lot of clutter will be easier to get rid of than you think, like trading those large boxes of dusty Christmas decorations for the most gorgeous views across America. The life experiences you get from travel can be enriching for your mind and body, and you could even discover new interests and things about yourself while on the road.

The Freedom

This might be an easy guess, but the freeing nature of RVing is one of the most important! You have left your traditional lifestyle behind for a more nomadic one, and replaced your sticks-and-bricks home for a home-on-wheels. Similar to the feeling of moving out of your childhood home for the first time, you’re likely to feel a sense of independence and freedom from the details of daily life that before would leave you feeling held back from true happiness. With an RV, you can sleep in or head to bed when you please, decide where you want to call home for a couple days, weeks, or months, and even drive in your PJs!

Opportunities for Adventure

While before you may have been held back by the inconvenient cost of travel, now there is no reason to keep you from going where you want to go! Driving up the California Coast, driving down to the southernmost tip of the U.S. in the Florida Keys, and witnessing vast differences in landscape across the nation are all a possibility with an RV.

Home is Wherever You Want It

Beginning life on the road can often mean leaving many personal items behind, but luckily there are plenty of ways to make your RV feel like home. The level of quality and comfort in modern RVs these days is quite impressive, with options of upgrades in furniture to cool DIY hacks you can do to make your space work best for your lifestyle. In addition to having your home on wheels how you want it, you also have the choice of where you want it. You can spend a week camping in your favorite national park or spend some time boondocking on BLM land. The snowbird lifestyle is also very popular among RVers, so you can choose where your winter home will be. Most frequented spots for RV snowbirds include Southern California, Arizona, and Florida. With an RV, the possibilities are endless.

Whether you decide to use your RV for weekends and vacations or to live in it full-time, rest assured that the RV lifestyle has many rewarding qualities. Have any other reasons why you prefer RV living over a “normal” lifestyle? Leave a comment below!
