The roamingtimes poll (February/March 2002)
 Why do you RV anyway?
This was a simple poll looking at why people RV.  It links to other Roaming Times polls and we'll give you the overall picture in the newsletters and on the website.  In the meanwhile, this is a direct analysis of the results:
1. I like to RV because:
The answers on the right were given to the poll. Perhaps the main answer - taking into account all of the comments - was "I like to travel".
Many of the comments will be given in the Roaming Times newsletter.

I like to feel freedom from the usual
I like to get away from the relatives
I like to camp - whatever form it takes
I like to "camp" - but in our own "house"
I like to meet new people
I like to hang out around the campfire

2. How do you feel about full-timing?
The answers on the right were given to the poll. Where people never wanted to full-time, the main reason from the comments was that they didn't want to give up a home base.  Other main reasons were "not ready, maybe later" and "Can't afford".
Many of the comments will be given in the Roaming Times newsletter.  The subject is further explored in the April 2002 Roaming Times poll.
Don't want the responsibilities of a house etc.
The kids are grown and now it is our turn
We don't have kids and simply want to run free
Who needs the hassle of conventional life?
Never want to full-time
