  • Great Resource For RVers

    We have never met Mike or Jennifer but they feel like old friends. Besides the RV community that they continue to develop, the news content that they produce is invaluable. The bi-weekly podcasts, their guidebooks and RV tool apps are indispensable. Thank goodness for us, Mike and Jennifer retired from the news industry!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Summer Is Ending, But the Best RV Camping Is Just Beginning
Q: A listener asks how cool an RV should realistically get in mid-summer and whether something is wrong with the AC when it runs constantly.
Rooftop ACs typically cool an RV about 18-22 degrees below outside temperature, so if it's 95 outside, a comfortable inside might be 73-77. Several factors affect performance, including direct sun, humidity, and insulation; use the AC efficiently, keep filters clean, and avoid overloading circuits.
Summer Is Ending, But the Best RV Camping Is Just Beginning
Q: Two RV questions this week: first, is living in a small trailer as hard as people warn, given you've been married 31 years and still get along well?
It's not the square footage that matters; you'll be outside most of the day, so the trailer is mainly for sleeping and eating. The real challenge is losing private space and needing to voice or manage small irritations early before they build up.
The RV Gear We'd Buy Again, and the Stuff We'd Never Waste Money On Again
Q: How should a new RVer approach downsizing or upgrading their rig as they age?
Visit multiple dealer shows or rental options to try different layouts, then consider hands-on practice with a rental to understand needs; supplement with a free eBook chapter to help decide the right size for aging travelers.
The RV Gear We'd Buy Again, and the Stuff We'd Never Waste Money On Again
Q: What is the most valuable upgrade for RV life that won't go out of style?
A bed you sleep well in and a charging/energy system that powers daily life without constant checking, especially a reliable mattress and good solar/electrical setup, are the most impactful upgrades rather than flashy gadgets.
RVing in Retirement: What to Expect at Every Age
Q: I've heard people say you should never leave your RV refrigerator running while you're driving. What is the right answer?
Modern RV refrigerators are designed to operate while traveling; a 12-volt compressor fridge can stay on safely, and propane refrigerators can stay on while on the road, with safety caveats to turn off in gas stations or in tunnels, and to chill food before leaving.
