The executive Bob Munro is stressed, feeling threatened of losing his job and his lifestyle, since his abusive boss Todd Mallory hired the Stanford's geek Laird to work in their soda's company. Bob has promised his wife Jamie Munro, his teenage daughter Cassie Munro and his young son Carl Munro to spend vacations in Hawaii, but Todd demands him to prepare a presentation and attend a business meeting with the owners of a family company in a merging operation scheduled in the same period. Bob hides the truth to his family, rents a recreational vehicle and tries to convince his dysfunctional family that a road trip to the Colorado Rocky Mountains would be good to bring old values back to their family. After many incidents and while in the trailers parking area, the rookie Bob is helped by the bizarre but friendly Gornicke family. They escape from the Gornickes and initiate a journey of difficulties and leaning, retrieving their forgotten family bonds.

| Dallas Morning NewsPhilip WuntchYou know what to expect from a Robin Williams vehicle. R.V. is better than what you expect. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenSlapstick and sentiment abound during the Munros' laugh-challenged trip to Colorado. |
| Reel Times: Reflections on CinemaMark PfeifferRV travels the comic highways similar to those driven by National Lampoon's Vacation's Griswolds, but the insufferable Munros leave us wishing they'd befall a fate more like that of the stranded family in The Hills Have Eyes. |
| AV ClubKeith PhippsApart from a funny turn by "Arrested Development's" Will Arnett as Williams' evil boss, nobody appears to be having a good time. And the feeling is infectious. |

| Los Angeles CityBeatMark KeizerMunros survive dirt-encrusted pratfalls and exploding stink bombs to become the world's happiest family, we realize that this desperate movie can't even convince itself it's funny. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonWhy did director Barry Sonnenfeld take on this project? Just to sully a fine comedic resume that includes "The Addams Family" and "Get Shorty"? And one last one: Which one of these levers do you push to send the RV careering off the mountain for good? |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesSonnenfeld tries to do for recreational vehicle vacations what Airplane! did for air travel. And, as evidenced by the film's many big laughs, he mainly succeeds. |
| New York PostKyle SmithRV stands for "Retread of 'Vacation,'" or possibly "Robin's Vehicle," but to me it's funnier than "National Lampoon's Vacation." I always found Chevy Chase's road trip more unpleasant than outrageous, but RV has laughs spilling out of its overhead bins. |
| Tyler Morning Telegraph (Texas)Mark ColletteInvariably, each summer vacation movie can be judged by the quality of its obligatory gag related to going to the bathroom in the wilderness or amid the complications of foreign plumbing. |
