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.

The Texas Whiskey Trail with Kate Dunbar

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!

So many RVs have slide out rooms and more these days, but there's still some anxiety out there about slide out reliability, maintenance, and more. So, we're going to talk a bit about the pros and cons of slide-outs, as well as how to maintain them. Also, PJ fields several of the questions we hear at the dealership on a regular basis. This should be fun!

Travels with Delaney part 1 - Back to Teardrops... The Good Kind

We visit with Patrick and Patty from Travels with Delaney!  These two hard-working teachers live in a log cabin, love to travel and share it all on their Travels with Delaney YouTube channel.  With decades of teaching, it's in their DNA, and they talk about accessories, upgrades, operations, troubleshooting, you name it. Patrick and Patty share so much on their YouTube channel, but we wanted to know where it started and how they ended up traveling in their NuCamp TAB 400.   Are you still waiting to find the perfect trailer?  Wait until you hear their story...  sometimes it's not easy to find the perfect trailer!  Their stories and just plain honesty about what they have learned are fun and encouraging, whether your a beginner or a veteran RVer.  Hang out with us while we chat with Patrick and Patti about their adventures!
