RV NEWS: RV Industry Reality Check, RV Recall Blitz & AI Trip Plannng

Good Monday Morning. We just wrapped up a long one, a 945-mile trek from the sunny Florida Panhandle to what feels like the arctic tundra of our Southwestern Michigan home. There is well over a foot of snow on the ground, which pretty much guarantees we will be pointing the compass south again at the end of the month. This will be a quick but important trip north. Jen will meet with her surgeon to plan her knee replacement surgery coming up this spring, and I have an appointment with an...

The REAL America? The RV Lifestyle Shows Us...

It's Friday fellow travelers, If you only paid attention to the headlines, the talking heads, and the constant outrage machine, you would think America is hopelessly divided. Angry. Suspicious. Pulled apart at the seams. That has not been our experience at all. The America we encounter on the road looks very different from the one portrayed on cable news or amplified by politicians. In campgrounds, at dump stations, while boondocking miles from anywhere, we keep seeing the same thing over and...

The DANGEROUS Myth That Full-Time RV Living Is Cheaper Than a House 🦄

It's Thursday fellow travelers and I have some STRONG advice in today's blog post... Somewhere along the way, a seductive myth took hold in the RV world that full-time RV living is a cheaper, simpler, stress-free alternative to owning a home. It is not. And worse, that myth is convincing far too many well-meaning people to sell everything they own before they understand what full-time RV life actually demands. The emotional, financial, and psychological costs are rarely mentioned in the...

RV NEWS: Starlink Privacy Changes, Flat RV Sales & Camping News

Good morning, friends. If you’re wondering whether winter is ever going to loosen its grip, you are not alone. This is the second straight weekend of nasty storms, and the Arctic blast just keeps on blasting. Snow, ice, wind, power outages, flight cancellations, you name it. And get this, there were even snow flurries reported as far south as Tampa. Tampa. That’s just rude. Jen and I are down on the Emerald Coast in Florida’s Panhandle, and here it dipped to 22 degrees last night. Twenty-two....
