Who Buys RVs in a Pandemic?

RV dealerships are surprisingly busy considering the many careful measures everybody is taking during the COVID-19 pandemic.

PJ succeeds at stumping Lindsay and Clint with old RV trivia.

Debating RV Options

In a world of standard features, options, and desirable upgrades for your RV, we ask "what's a non-negotiable" and what's "easy-to-add?" PJ, Lindsay, and Clint muse about... dare I say debate, what would be must-have components if they're buying a new RV.

Also, we've been watching some YouTube, engaging in some Social Media, and listening to some podcasts... here's what we like!

Finding Local Adventure with Chet Garner the Daytripper

Everybody needs to pursue bucket list experiences in amazing locations... but we needn't do so at the expense of the countless experiences and memories that can be had close to home, wherever that home may be! Chet Garner has been exploring an encouraging Texans (and beyond!) to wander both near and far for fun, education, great food, and much more. His Emmy-winning show, The Daytripper, is a favorite in the Lone Star State, and a must when researching the various places you may find yourself when RVing in Texas.

Right in the middle of the Austin RV Expo, we sat down to talk with Kate Dunbar, the Campground Gourmet, about the exploding (and award-winning) whiskey and bourbon scene in Texas. We've all heard about wine trails, wine tours, and whatnot... but a top-tier whiskey and bourbon adventure in the Lone Star State might just be another reason to put your boots on and make a visit to the land of the Alamo, Big Bend, Willie Nelson and everything else Texas has to offer an RVer. Take a listen, y'all!

The Math of Trailer Weights Explained

With acronyms and names like GVR, GVWR, GAWR, Dry Weight, and more, things can get confusing. Adding to the confusion is these numbers are found in different places on the trailer, online, and in the brochures. Yikes! PJ is here to help us wrap our heads around the madness!
