Facebook groups have emerged as a powerful tool for connecting individuals with shared interests. One notable association with a strong following is the Ontario RV Owners (ORVO), a vibrant community that has thrived over the past five years and is united by their passion for RV living.
With a commitment to maintaining a positive and inclusive environment, ORVO has been instrumental in providing a welcoming space for all RVers. The journey began as a modest online gathering place for Ontario RV enthusiasts. Since its inception, it has experienced exponential growth, attracting a diverse range of members with a common interest in RVing.
The increasing membership numbers currently surpass 27,000. This is a true testament to the group's ability to create a sense of belonging and value for its members.
The success is the result of fostering a positive community where members feel supported, inspired, and connected. It serves as a platform for individuals to seek guidance, exchange ideas, and forge friendships with like-minded enthusiasts.
Behind the scenes, ORVO is managed by dedicated volunteer administrators who ensure the smooth management of its Facebook group and website, www.orvo.ca. These individuals invest time and effort into facilitating discussions, organizing events, and providing valuable resources to better enjoy the RV lifestyle.

The association is looking to reach out further to members in additional areas to meet fellow RVers.
In 2023, ORVO hosted its ORVO Annual Rally at Quinte's Isle Campark in Prince Edward County, approximately one hour west of Kingston, ON. This was the association’s debut event and its success paved the way for doubling attendance in 2024, indicating the potential to become an annual affair. This year’s rally will once again be held at Quinte Isle Campark and is scheduled for May 24 to 25.
The event allows the opportunity for RV owners to come together, have fun, and further build a strong sense of community. This year, rally organizers are scheduling a new, full agenda. In addition to the banquet and raffle, ORVO is incorporating activities such as a Paint Party and Vendor's Market to provide even more enjoyment.
Building on its success, ORVO has expanded its presence to various annual RV shows. By exhibiting at industry events, the association can engage a broader audience, share expertise, and strengthen its position as a leading influencer in the RV community.
Ontario RV Owners is an invaluable resource for seasoned RV owners and newcomers alike. Operations and functions are supported by its sponsors while numerous companies within the RV industry have recognized the value of becoming involved with ORVO.
By providing financial support, these sponsors enable ORVO to host events, maintain an active online presence, and continue to provide valuable content to its members. This mutually beneficial relationship allows sponsors to access a highly engaged and targeted audience.
Ontario RV Owners is currently looking into options to reach members in additional areas and provide a unique opportunity for individuals to meet fellow RV owners as well as the ORVO's administration team. As the association evolves, it will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in inspiring a new generation of RVers. For more information visit ORVO’s Facebook group page or www.orvo.ca
