During the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for RVs spiked and full-time RVers became a fast-growing segment of the industry.
Mike and Dixie Church have a cocktail and enjoy a camp fire outside their RV along the Kishwaukee River at the Holiday Acres Camping Resort RV park on June 14, 2023, in Garden Prairie. They have been living out of their RV since 2018.
“They are a fast-growing demographic of RVers across the industry,” Austin said of those who live on the road full time. “A lot of that has been driven by changes brought on from the pandemic, where remote work is more accepted.”Michael Church was a computer programmer, and Dixie Church worked in the printing and desktop publishing industry before they both retired.
The COW, Condo on Wheels, is what Parker and his wife nicknamed their 41.3-foot long, 13.6-foot tall, 19,000-pound Forest River Riverstone fifth-wheel RV. It houses a king-size bed, a washer and dryer, a full residential refrigerator, a dishwasher, wine cooler and a 65-inch flat-screen TV.Drew and Julie Parker opted for the RV lifestyle after his employer offered early retirement in 2020. He previously worked as a product specialist at Hewlett Packard Co.
Decorating in general, even outside of the holidays, is a challenge in part because of limited wall space.“We have a checklist we follow” to make sure items are secured when packing and moving, Julie Parker said.Living on the road full time requires careful planning, from booking warm-weather campsites months in advance to scheduling doctors’ appointments and mail delivery.
There are currently 11.2 million households that own an RV, and full-time RVers make up 1.5% of all RVers, according to the latest data from the association. Its 2021 data showed 35% of full-time RVers were over age 55, 43% were retired and 11% didn’t have children in the home.
