The RVers Guide to Choosing the Best Camp Chair

Regardless of what RV you’re traveling in – travel trailer, fifth wheel, Class A, Class B, Class C, etc. – there’s one thing every RVer wants to do after a long day of driving and that’s kick their feet up to relax. The best way to kick your feet up and relax, especially if you have a bad back, is with a quality camp chair.

We all know that one chair that everyone fights over. It’s the most comfortable. It’s the most convenient to set up. It’s probably the one with a few spills, stains, singe marks, and years of love sewn into its seams.

If your favorite camp chair is showing its age, or you’re ready for a comfort upgrade, find inspiration from our guide to choosing the best camp chair.

Reclining Camp Chairs

If you’re looking for a chair that offers maximum comfort and literally allows you to kick your feet up, reclining chairs are what you want. Reclining camp chairs are popular for good reason. They take vertical stress off the back–the kind you feel after a long day of driving. For stargazers, they’re the best chair to prevent a sore neck.
