Not so long ago, when a camper mentioned a social network, they were probably talking about a group of friends tripping on the road or everyone around the campfire roasting marshmallows under the starlight. Now, of course, you cannot listen to the phrase without thinking about Facebook, YouTube, Twitter or any of the thousands of social networks.
What if there was a way to combine old school and new school definitions? A high-tech way to connect with those around the campfire? Well, thanks to RVillage, there is. Let’s take a look at RVillage, including what it is, its benefits, and how to join today so you can get started on this fun concept.
What is RVillage?
Some will argue that RVing isn’t always about traveling the roads and seeing new places, but rather about making meaningful connections with those around you, family, friends, and strangers alike. Some RVers have met and made lifelong friends playing horseshoes in the RV park or chatting at the dump station, but most of these friendships are as fleeting as the colors of fall.
RVillage seeks to strengthen and open these friendships and relationships by creating a social network aimed at RVers. RVillage argues that while we can make a lot of friends at VR campgrounds, there could be several great connections that will be lost. RVillage allows you to find your RV neighbors’ interests, hobbies, or ideas in the RV park or even across the country. The goal of RVillage is to bring together more RVers to plan events, play a round of golf, or just sit around the fire and share stories from the road.
Some example features include exploring nearby members, making groups, and scheduling meetings and gatherings.
RVillage was founded by Curtis Coleman, a full-time and enthusiastic RVer who can boast over 30 years of experience in RV and the VR world. Coleman has done just about everything in life, from real estate investing to being a member of the folk singing group The New Christy Minstrels. In the end, Coleman decided to devote his time and energy to developing RVillage and changing the way RVers interact with each other, both online and in camp.
The benefits of RVillage
RVillage’s main goal is to connect RVers around the world, but the benefits don’t stop there. RVillage also seeks to help RVers find RV-friendly businesses and services, such as mechanics, dealers, and of course RV parks. RVillage hasn’t wasted any time finding partnerships as they currently have recommendations from some of the big hitters in the VR world, like the Family Coach Association, Escapees RV Club, Passport America, and KOA Campgrounds, to name a few. Therefore, RVillage not only helps strengthen relationships, but puts you in touch with many useful services and utilities.
