Determine Your RV Lifestyle: wants vs needs
STEP #1: Decide what type of RVer you are (currently)
Step number one in determining your ideal rv lifestyle is to figure out:
- when do you plan on RVing?
- How long do you plan on rving at a time?
- Are you going to be a weekender a part-timer or a full-timer?
There are Different TYPES of RVers!
- Weekenders or weekend warriors, as we call them, for people who just want to take a quick vacation, maybe a weekend trip or a week at a time.
- Part Time RVers: Then you have your part-time rvers who ease into it a little bit more they might go for months at a time maybe they have a home and then they just take their RV out in the winter to get down to maybe like florida during the winter months or somewhere warmer.
- Full Time RVers: Then you have of course, your full-time birds who are doing this full-time, so they eat, sleep, work, live, breathe in their RV all the time. They don’t have a stationary sticks and bricks home (typically, but not always the case).
However, When you start this whole process about rving out you might start out as a weekend warrior and then ease into part-time before you become a full-time rver!

STEP #2: How many people are RVing with you?
Step number two to determining your ideal RV lifestyle is to figure out who and how many people are going to be RVing with you?
- Who’s RVing with you?
- Are you RVing alone?
- Will you have your spouse with you: boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, just a friend?
- Do you have children that are going to be RVing with you?
- Do you have pets coming along? or
- Do you have somebody that might be handicapped? Maybe they have a disability?
These are all things to think about when you are trying to determine your ideal RV lifestyle wants and needs!

STEP #3: Are you hooking-up or boondocking?
Step number three to determining your ideal RV lifestyle is to figure out whether you’re going to be hooked up or boondocking?
Hooked-Up
Are you gonna be stationary living somewhere, like at an RV park, most of the time? (maybe you own land or have some type of other stationary RV Living arrangement)? Hooked up to power, water, sewer, if you’re lucky, cable and wi-fi too!
You have to pay for those amenities unless you’re going to be boondocking — where you are able to offset some of those costs.
Boon-docking
If you’re going to be boondocking or dry camping that means that you’re going to be traveling or living off the grid.
Maybe you’re going to be in a parking lot or on private land and that means you’re not going to have the same RV hookups (water, electric, sewer, cable, wi-fi) you would have if you were hooked up.
So you will have to consider how you’re going to not only get all those resources but also take them with you on the road. As an RVer, you want to be self-sufficient, not having to rely on others for your resources.
Combination
Now you might be doing a little bit of both hooking up and boondocking. Maybe you travel a few days dry-camping and then plug up at an RV park for a few days. That all depends on the type of RV you have, how much water it can hold, your wants vs needs, etc…
This is why, before buying an RV or diving into RV life, you need to determine your ideal RV lifestyle — all of these things are important to think about before you actually hit the road.
