One of the Best RV Studies I’ve Read
Maybe not the best bedtime reading, but . . .
Though this study is probably intended more for RV park owners rather than RVers, it contains some interesting information about RVers and RV parks.
Some quotes from the study:
- Americans currently own nine million RVs, a million more than on the road five years ago.
- Fuel prices would have to triple to make RVing more expensive for a family of four than other forms of travel.
- A standard RV uses only 27 gallons of water/day, whereas a household consumes 150 gallons/day.
- Greenhouse gas accounting confirms that actual RV travel creates a lower carbon footprint than comparable air/drive/hotel vacations.

Very interesting facts about RVing. I’ll bet you feel even better about your choice of retirement living. Were you surprised by what you read? Kath
Yeah, some of the things definitely surprised me like the greenhouse gas emissions, but others like water usage I knew from just living in an RV. And so far, it’s one of the best decisions we’ve made.
Very interesting!
