Making Friends and Building Community

Many RVers are seeking to build community on the road, and want to know how to go about doing that. In this class, you’ll hear some new ideas on how to make initial connections, build friendships and continue those relationships long term.

Far too many RVers complain about feeling a lack of community as they travel around in their RV. This doesn’t have to be the case! Developing friendships can be a little different and more challenging when you are traveling from place to place and are staying at your stops for just a week or weekend at a time. There are still many ways to connect with other RVers and build lasting friendships.

Your instructor for this class, Lauren Grijalva, will show you a variety of ways to connect with other RVers using different forms of social media, including Facebook and Instagram. You’ll see a list of online groups and memberships that were created specifically for building community for RVers.

You’ll learn tips for finding campground activities and specific RV park chains that typically offer these activities. We explain practical ways to host events and meet your neighbors.

The class wraps up with the importance of keeping in touch with the people you meet and being intentional about planning to meet up again in the future. RVing doesn’t have to be lonely as there are lots of people looking to build community. You just need to know where to look to find them!
