Imagine waking up every day to perfect weather—not too hot, not too cold, just right. That’s what more and more RVers are doing. They call it “chasing 70 degrees.”

It’s all about following the seasons to stay where the temperature is around 70°F. No sweaty summers. No freezing winters. Just mild days, cool nights, and comfy camping all year long.

Let’s take a look at how it works—and why it’s such a smart (and fun) way to travel!

🌤️ Why 70 Degrees?

70°F (about 21°C) is what many people call “perfect weather.” It’s warm enough to:

  • Wear shorts or light layers

  • Enjoy meals outside

  • Hike, bike, or explore comfortably

  • Sleep without sweating or shivering

It’s also easy on your RV systems—less A/C or heater use means less energy and more quiet time.

🧭 How RVers Chase 70 Degrees

Full-time RVers plan their trips around the weather. Here’s the basic idea:

  • Spring (March–May): Head north or stay in the Southwest

  • Summer (June–August): Go to the mountains or Northern U.S.

  • Fall (September–November): Head south again as temps drop

  • Winter (December–February): Stay in Southern states or desert areas

It’s like being a weather bird—flying toward comfort all year long!
