  • Great info about Class B pricing

    Really got a lot of info re: high pricing of class Bs. Bought last year a used 2018 Winnebago Paseo 45P and really happy with it. Used is way to go for budget minded people since more affordable and all the things which can go wrong probably already did go wrong

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Wall Street Took Over Your Campground... And Prices May Never Be the Same
Q: Linda from New Mexico asks about Jennifer's upcoming knee surgery and recovery, and how it will affect travel.
Jennifer shares her mixed feelings, the potential recovery timeline, and plans to manage travel and recovery, including staying at home base for some time and the possibility of a temporary halt to full-time travel.
Ticks Are Exploding This Year: The Hidden Disease That Can Make You Allergic to Meat
Q: Kind of walk us through this story a little bit.
Fred describes getting a tick bite that may have occurred while visiting family in North Arkansas, followed by a delayed, severe reaction after eating beef, which led to testing and ultimately a diagnosis of Alpha Gal syndrome; the discussion covers how the condition changes daily life, diet, and outdoor activity, and the process of recognizing a clue from initial food-poisoning symptoms to a confirmed allergy.
Why Your RV Won't Cool Down (And What To Do About It)
Q: Tom and Barb in Tulsa ask if their Ram 1500 can tow a heavy fifth wheel and how to determine real payload versus max tow rating.
Mike explains that the vehicle's maximum tow rating is a ceiling, not a target, and emphasizes checking payload capacity (GVWR minus curb weight) and the trailer's pin weight to ensure the truck can safely handle the load.
Why Your RV Won't Cool Down (And What To Do About It)
Q: Karen W in Charlotte asks how to stay comfortable on a six-week trip and whether being away from home for long periods is expected to feel 'wrong' or not.
Jennifer explains that homesickness isn't a failure when RVing; treating the RV as a space you love and staying connected to home—like video calls and familiar items—helps veterans settle in and enjoy long trips.
The RV Doctor Is In! Real Medical Advice for RVers + Are You Too Old to Start RVing?
Q: Did we get oversold on solar?
Often yes. A 200-watt panel provides only a fraction of what a rig uses daily; batteries and an adequate inverter are the real power sources, not the roof panel alone.
