Abstract
Recreational Vehicles (RVs) are a rapidly emerging market within tourism. Despite their
growth, little research has been conducted into RVers' motivations, experiences and the
diversification of the RV market. Using qualitative research methods, this study explored
these issues. The research revealed motivations which included a desire for freedom from
standard care and work and home life. It also found that RVing creates its own complexities
such as the status afforded by ownership of big rigs, and issues related to rig size.
