Good Wednesday morning - it's Stories from the Road Podcast Day! Last week, Jennifer and I got brutally honest about some of the dumbest, most expensive, and most embarrassing mistakes we've made in 15 years of RVing. We talked about broken gear, costly blunders, rookie mistakes, and the kind of RV disasters that make you want to crawl under the camper and hide. And wow... did that strike a nerve. RVers from all over the country wrote in with stories of their own. Bent tailgates. Sewage...

Hello RVers, In this video, we are kicking off an all-new RV review series: "Does Size Really Matter?" Over the next six episodes, we are putting three Class B camper vans head-to-head against three small Class C motorhomes, often called B+ RVs, to answer one big question: Do you really need a bigger RV to travel comfortably, or can a smaller rig actually be the better choice? And honestly, the very first RV in this series surprised us. The Coachmen Beyond 22RB stopped us in our tracks, not...

Welcome to Friday fellow travelers, We’ve been RVing for over 13 years now—much of that time in a small campervan with a 70-pound dog in tow! We’ve clearly learned how to thrive in close quarters. If we hadn’t, we either would’ve driven each other completely mad by now or given up on our dream of RVing altogether. (I’m honestly not sure which would be the worst outcome!) All joking aside, traveling with your spouse is a special experience, but it does come with some BIG challenges. In this...

Welcome to Tuesday fellow travelers, Yes, an RV can be a money pit, and in many cases, it is.

Good Monday morning! We've been home - what? - a week, now. And we're packed up and heading out across Michigan for another long campout. It's still a bit chilly, but more than doable. Besides, I'm road testing our upgraded RV Trip Dashboard. I used it to plan this trip. I can't wait to tell you about what we've done with it!! You asked. We built it. The Trip Dashboard just got a major upgrade. When we launched the RV Lifestyle Trip Planner Dashboard a few months back, I honestly wasn't sure...
