I can’t count how many hours I have spent filtering through RV forums after something disastrous has happened to our coach.
You know the feeling as an RV owner when you’re out in the middle of nowhere and something goes wrong. You don’t have spare parts so you have to make do with what you have.
It’s an unsettling feeling and we aren’t the type of RVers to take our motorhome to the shop. We hate dealing with service techs and paying those higher prices for repairs and quite possibly the worst of it all…. Mechanical labor.
Can anyone relate? So when that has happened I have pulled up the trusty RV forums, grab a chair and hold the flashlight while Nate is fiddling around with whatever it is that’s broken.
We’ve both spent hours reading these RV forums even if they are outdated. The general mechanics are usually the same (usually).
The RV community online has been amazing when we are stuck but then again my husband is quite possibly the handiest guy. I keep telling him he should have taken the RV mechanic course and offer that as a service to other travelers.
But alas I’m here today to bring you a list of RV forums you can cruise in hopes that this makes it easier on you when you are looking for something.

Facebook Groups
I’m in quite a lot of RV Facebook groups and there are good groups and there are mediocre groups. Each full-time RV life group seems to be a lot of the same. So I would find one you like and not worry about joining a ton of them.
Below I’m listing my favorite RV lifestyle group that just happens to be the place to go for all things RV travel and entrepreneurship on the road.
If you’re looking to make money on the road and need a community this is your tribe.
The RV Entrepreneur
This group is owned and operated by Heath & Alyssa. They have quite the following and resources for RVers. Head over to check out The RV Entrepreneur.
RV Model Specific Facebook Groups
Other RV Forums
These RV forums aren’t necessarily specific to a model of RV. They are more catch alls for everything RV and travel.
Reddit Forums
Reddit is hit and miss in my opinion. I find a lot of full-time travelers looking to promote themselves carpet bag these forums with their videos and blogs. Just a little note… Reddit users don’t generally tolerate or like shameless self-promotion.
If you ask a question people are generally very nice and will answer it for you.
Wrap Up
If you are looking for a community online to join while you travel there is no shortage of options. There are so many options out there like boondocking RV forums, RV troubleshooting forums and more. There is a wealth of information out in the world and the RV community is a tight-knit group that are always willing to lend a helping hand when you need it.
Happy travels friends!
