In this episode of the All Things RV Podcast, I sit down with new RVers Pete and Lorraine during a live coaching session. They came prepared with great questions and have taken all the right steps to start their RV journey on the right foot.

We dive into the topics that many new RVers wonder about—from trip planning tools to making smart decisions that can save time, money, and frustration along the way.

-What cleaning products can you use safely in an RV

-Dealing with moisture and condensation

-Understanding the power systems in an RV

-Heavy winds and towing, what to do

-Weight distribution hitch & why are they important

-Black and gray tank care

I love their enthusiasm and hunger for information, and it’s clear they’re setting themselves up for a fantastic camping season. If you’re new to RVing or getting ready for your first trips, you’ll likely find yourself asking some of the same questions Pete and Lorraine did.

Plus, hear how the iPhone SOS satellite feature played a critical role when no one on scene had cell service.

After a quiet couple of months, I’m back — and I’ve got some life updates to share!

In this episode, I’m opening up about our recent decision to step out of full-time RV living and into a temporary rental home. What started as a short-term plan to find land and build a home turned into four years of stationary RV life — and we finally hit a point where it was time to pivot.

I talk about:

• Why we decided to rent a house (even though it wasn’t the plan)

• The emotional and practical side of moving out of the RV

• What I’ve learned about flexibility, minimalism, and trusting the bigger plan

• How this shift has reignited my love for RVing and travel

• What’s next for us — and the podcast!

If you’re navigating RV life, stuck in the in-between, or simply need a reminder that it’s okay to shift gears, this episode is for you.

Thanks for sticking with me — it’s good to be back. Let’s keep moving forward, one adventure at a time.

In this episode of All Things RV Podcast, I’m walking you through the exact spring maintenance checklist we follow before our first camping trip of the season. From roof inspections to wheel bearings and everything in between, I’ll share what we do, why we do it, and tips to help you get road-ready with confidence.
