Pets & RVs: Pet-Friendly RV Favorites & RV Accessories

Shawn Verbruggen

If you have a pet, it’s likely that they are a part of your family camping trips and often go with you in your RV. In fact, a survey from Go RVing shows 68 percent of campers travel with their pets. Whether you’re headed to the mountains, the beach, or a quiet forest campsite, RV camping with pets can be an incredibly rewarding experience — but it also takes some planning. We instantly think of dogs as the standard travel companion, but we have seen many pets at campgrounds over the years.  It’s not uncommon to see a cat on a leash, but we have also seen people with pigs, birds and even monkeys as travel companions!

The Seven Types of RVer & Their Favorite RVs

Shawn Verbruggen

A recent study by Go RVing and the RV Industry Association categorizes RV owners into seven unique groups to better understand the variances between each and the types of RVs they prefer. These segments help shed light on similarities that exist between RVers across their motivations, needs, profiles and attitudes, as well as providing insight into the best RV for each adventure.

The average RVer has undergone major transformations in recent years, with notable increases in younger and more diverse owners compared to the past. They are using their RVs in more diverse ways, as well. According to new research by Go RVing, roughly 15% of current owners have worked remotely in their RV, a majority of which are travel trailers. The RV industry has evolved with them, offering more diversity in options and floor plans than ever before.

Follow the General RV guide below to see what type of RVer you might be, and which RV could take your journeys to new heights.

Not only are travel trailers the most popular type of RV, but they are also the most affordable. More families than ever are heading out to create their own Great American Road Trip and, for many, it starts with the perfect RV. Buying a travel trailer can seem intimidating, but with the right information, it can be an exciting and empowering decision.

Large families are going to have much different needs than solo travelers. Families who love kayaking and biking will need different travel trailers than those who want to travel light and park in major urban areas. Travel trailers are built with solid walls, hitch to a truck or SUV and come in all shapes and sizes. They are safe and typically have slide-outs to create wide-open living spaces.

One of the benefits of traveling with a trailer rather than a motorhome is that when you set up camp, you can unhook the trailer and leave it set up while you use the vehicle to explore the area. When you travel by motorhome, you either need to drive your whole RV for sightseeing days or tow a separate vehicle behind it.
