RV Small Talk Podcast

A Camp Cooking Challenge and Sell Your Own RV!

We've talked campground cooking a few times on the RV Small Talk Podcast... but we haven't actually shown any culinary success up to this point. Kate Dunbar, our go-to Campground Gourmet, has grown tired of our lame excuses. Kate has now challenged PJ, Lindsay, and Clint to go camping and make something yummy! (This could go badly.) Also, it seems like everybody is buying an RV lately... maybe you've decided it's time to sell your own RV... yourself! We'll help ya!

Internet for RV'ers - DEEP DIVE for Data and Wi-Fi

How many times have you wondered how to get better wi-fi or cellular data when you're out on the road or at the campsite? We wonder all the time! Cherie Ve Ard and Chris Dunphy have tried nearly all available options and literally wrote the book on getting the internet connectivity we crave while traveling. They've founded the Mobile Internet Resource Center to help all mobile internet seekers find their way to digitally connected bliss! You're gonna want to hear this!

 

Power EVERYTHING in Your RV with Go Power!

The expectations for RVer's have risen, and now we want ALL of our appliances and devices to work... even when we're unplugged on BLM land. The big question is always "will the Air Conditioner work?" on the trailer when unplugged. Weeeellllllll... it's becoming a reality! We asked Mark Spilsbury from Go Power! about what their systems can do for RVers. Prepare for a technical deep dive! Prepare to be amazed! RV Solar, RV Lithium Ion, and RV Inverters make it all happen.

Shelter Dog Love in Trying Times

Before COVID-19, Lindsay and Clint would stop by the local animal shelter every week to help dogs find foster and forever homes. RVers love their pets, and pets add immeasurable value to travels, so it made sense to help out! Well, we finally get together with Misty Valenta to see how the animal shelter is doing in these unique times. They've figured out how to pivot and make it all work!

RV Type, Park Type, and Wi-Fi Confusions

We have questions... and some conversation with a little Google sprinkled in may get us to some answers. Lindsay's wondering about the various RV designations. Clint is overwhelmed by the different National Park System designations. PJ, she's looking for clarity on RV Wi-Fi. It's pretty fun, really!

 

Solar and Lithium... Factory Installed

It's hard to escape the solar and battery discussions in the RV world these days, and that's for good reason. There are some real benefits to these systems... if you have the right setup for your needs. RV Manufacturers are fairly new to offering factory-installed lithium-ion battery systems for their products, but that's going to change quickly. Scott from Lance Campers will be talking about the Go Power solar and lithium-ion system that they've made available straight from the factory. 

 

Traveling Through COVID

It's hard to say if there's no better time or no worse time to go see America and camp than these uncertain COVID-19 times, but that's exactly what Nick and Holly have been up to! For many, 2020's travel plans and destinations were wiped off the table. So, creativity and opportunity made hitting the open road the obvious choice for Nick and Holly, and they stopped by the RV Small Talk podcast as part of their journey. Join us!
