Have you ever wondered whether a celebrity RV community exists? The truth might surprise you. Plenty of celebrities enjoy the RV lifestyle. Let’s take a look at some of them and their rigs.
Why Do Celebrities RV?
The appeal of being a celebrity RVer, where you can get up and go with every possible amenity, must be pretty tempting at times. Sometimes, celebrities RV to escape the spotlight and camera flashes. Much like us, sometimes celebrities just want to get away from it all and reconnect with nature.

Moderately sized at 27 feet, it’s cozy and vintage and satisfies all of Miranda’s needs during travel.

The RV lifestyle continues to draw in people from all walks of life, including celebrities. Although many of us can only imagine these over-the-top RVs, the celebrity RV trend continues to produce even more lavish rigs. Which of these RVs would be your dream luxury RV?
With the exception of Matthew McConaughey and maybe Dax Shephard I don’t think you can say those celebrities are RVer’s to me staying in an RV just while you’re on set doesn’t count. If that was the case every NASCAR driver is a RVer.
Don’t forget Terry Bradshaw, who recently purchased a 375RES. Or did he sell it already? HA!
For us, there is a difference in owning an RV having a staff to maintain it, drive or move it, and sit on a movie set VS actually RVing.
Meh, was looking forward to seeing a list of folks we may bump into. All but one on the list use for work and stationary. Props to Ashton and Mika for trying, no points for anyone else having someone else drive the “rig” from set to set so they can live in luxury while filming or playing.
We have an Airstream so I would say we have our dream RV. Would loved to have seen pictures of some of the rigs. It’s always interesting to explore other RVs.
we bumped into Alfonso Ribeiro and his family while in hot springs. They own a Winnebago bus and have been all over in it. They also tow a truck behind it. Very nice guy and family. Tossed the football around with him and his kiddos.
