Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

You've Always Wanted to Write a Book. Could RV Life Be Your Chance?
Q: Walk us through the changes, the opportunities and the challenges of publishing a book.
Tumlinson says independent publishing offers greater control and potentially higher royalties, but authors handle editing, cover design, and marketing. Traditional publishing may provide support and exposure, though deals can take years and authors still have promotional responsibilities.
You've Always Wanted to Write a Book. Could RV Life Be Your Chance?
Q: Give some tips to folks who think they have a story in them, but they really don't know how to start.
Tumlinson advises them to start writing. Writers can outline first or discover the story as they go, and regular practice improves their skills.
Don't Be That Camper: The Pet Peeves That Drive RVers Crazy
Q: Why does my GFCI outlet always trip when it rains?
Mike explains that moisture may be causing current to leak somewhere in the circuit. He recommends checking outdoor outlets, covers, cords, and connections, then testing the GFCI once everything dries. If it still will not reset, he advises calling an RV electrician and not bypassing the outlet.
Don't Be That Camper: The Pet Peeves That Drive RVers Crazy
Q: Seasonal RVers, what kind of privacy fencing or privacy border do you have to separate yourself from your RV neighbors?
Jennifer recommends checking what the campground permits before buying anything, then considering portable planters or freestanding privacy screens. She also suggests repositioning outdoor seating and getting to know nearby campers.
Two Sisters, Two Paths, and One Road Back to Camping
Q: When do I absolutely have to winterize, and what nighttime low temperature is the closer?
Mike says there is no single cutoff: consider how long temperatures stay below freezing and whether the RV is heated. Winterize an unheated, unattended rig before a hard freeze; campers can extend the season by disconnecting the city water hose, using the furnace and tank heaters, or winterizing plumbing and using water jugs.
