Big RV travel difficulties are being predicted for 2023 by real RVers, with many saying they will either sharply curtail their travels or stop entirely.

That’s this week’s main topic in Episode 425 of the RV Podcast, based on a question we posed on our RV Lifestyle Facebook Page that garnered over 500 answers in less than 24 hours.

The responses were many and varied, but five specific issues really stood out and accounted for the vast majority of answers we got to the fill-in-the-blank question we posted that read: “The Biggest Challenge for RV travel in 2023 will be _____.”

With over 500 responses in less than 24 hours, it’s clear the RV Travel Difficulties expected in 2023 are real hot-button issues for real RVers.

We took all those responses and gathered the most mentions into five categories, with one in particular the clear runaway #1 concern.
