5 Types of RVers

Several months before retiring, I bought The Beast to travel around in during my leisure years.

So far, it has been a good two and a half years of RVing and I plan to continue.

Along the way, one notices different kinds of people out traveling. Do It Yourself RV has also taken notice of the kinds of RV people out there and has classified them into five groups.

Before going into the five categories of RVers, they wrote:

If there is one thing that I could say about all RVers, it would be that they are a diverse mishmash of folks.  When the non-RVing public thinks about who RVers are, the idea of someone’s parents or grandparents driving around a fancy Class A rig usually comes to mind. 

In reality, RVers come from all socio-economic classes, own everything from tiny teardrop trailers to half a million dollar (or more) Class A RVs, and everything in-between.  There really is no such thing as a “typical RVer.”  That being said, the people who RV generally tend to fall into five distinctive groups.

Of the groups listed, I probably fall into the first group,  1. The Post-Retirement Crowd.

To see what the five groups are, go here.
