The RVIA (RV Industry Association) has a website called
Go RVing that is intended to help introduce people to RVing, though the motivation is strictly to increase sales. They also have CDs and DVd to illustrate Rving - see the "Hit the Road" portion of the Go Rving site.
There are actually 2-3 different RVing styles and probably as many variations of those as there are people doing them.
One style is usually called "Weekends and vacations", or sometimes just "camping". Basically an individual or family just "gets away" from home and work for a few days here and there and maybe one or two vacations yearly. The short term nature makes any inconvenience due to limited space, storage, amenities, etc. of little concern and "roughing it" is part of the fun for many people. Campers head for remote locations, usually try to enjoy the outdoors to the max (hiking, fishing, outdoor activities, camp fires, etc.), and don't need to be concerned about conducting their life from an RV cause they will be back home or in the office on Monday anyway.
Another style we usually call part-timing, of which a major sub-culture is "snow birds". Part timers take extended trips and stay in their RV for several weeks to several months at a time. The livability of an RV becomes a major factor and part timers tend to want larger RVs with more amenities. Snow birds are part timers who generally travel only twice a year, spending summers in the cooler northern regions and migrating a warmer climate when the snows come to the north. They typically live in a "stick house" (site built home) for half the year and the RV for the other half. Part timers spend enough time in their RV that they have to deal with life's daily needs, e.g. banking, health care, family and hobbies, while "on the road" and this need introduces a set of needs ranging from communications (mail, phone, fax and internet) to storage (sports gear, hobbies, health and financial records, etc) that vacationers never have to deal with.
Fulltiming is the third major RV lifestyle. Fulltimers live in their RV year around and typically have no other home. They may migrate (ala snow birds) or they may be frequent travelers, but in any case they carry pretty much everything in their lives with them and deal with life's daily events and problems solely from their RV and its temporary location. "Home is where you park it" is their motto and pretty well sums up the life style.
