Welcome to Stories from the Road Podcast Day,
We’ve made a lot of RV mistakes over the years… but these eight? They cost us a jaw-dropping $26,000. In this episode, we’re getting real and sharing the costly, embarrassing, and sometimes downright scary mistakes we’ve made on the road, from a $16,000 fuel disaster to a tailgate crunch, a campsite mishap, and one very icy near-disaster that could have ended much worse.
The truth is, none of these were bad luck. Every single one was preventable.
If you’re new to RVing, or even if you’ve been doing it for years, these lessons could save you thousands of dollars, a whole lot of stress, and maybe even your safety.
Here’s what we cover:
- The $16,000 fueling mistake that forced us to replace our truck
- A simple hookup error that cost $7,000 in seconds
- Why rushing into a campsite can cost you big
- The embarrassing backing mistake in front of a crowd
- How ignoring the weather almost tipped our fifth wheel
- Why driving too far leads to costly decisions
- The checklist mistake that shattered a window
- The fuel habit that nearly left us stranded
And the big takeaway? RVing isn’t hard… but it is unforgiving if you’re not paying attention. Learn from our mistakes so you don’t have to pay for them.
Also in this episode, travel tips to make your next trip smoother, our RV Question of the Week, with a practical answer you can use right away to save on fuel costs (especially diesel), and a featured RV destination to inspire your next adventure - The Great Lakes Shoreline Tour.
