Ep. 19 | Travel and Camping with Dogs

You know you love ’em, and they just make life richer. Your dog (or pet of choice) is a part of your family, and chances are they can make your travel and camping even better. So, what do you need to know to be successful on the road and in the woods with your dog? We invited Misty Valenta from the Williamson Regional Animal Shelter to come help us up our camping with dogs game!

Ep. 17 | Can My Truck Tow the Weight?

Lindsay went camping and her quick-trip got her thinking about how to make fast weekend getaways successful and enjoyable. Also, getting the right truck to tow a trailer safely can be confusing. We got Scott Almquist from Lance Campers to help us get a handle on what makes a truck more or less capable for your trailer travels!

Ep. 16 | First Aid, CPR & AED Basics for Every RV’er

A little knowledge and preparation make all the difference in first aid scenarios. We ask a pro, Teri Lucas, about First Aid, CPR, and AED for RV’ers and campers. Also, we have industry news of new product releases, where’s Liberty Outdoors and Little Guy, and a shoutout to the inspiration that the RV Miles podcast team is. (Also the National Parks Podcast.)

Ep. 14 | What’s Up, Intech?

We took a little trip! Where to?… the bustling town of Nappanee, Indiana! InTech RV invited us up to see what they’re up to and we’ll share the fun! We have new things arriving at Princess Craft RV, and they’re Ah-Maze-Ing. How do you engage the mind and pass the time on trips? We discuss the many ways to chase squirrels… We had a chance to interview some of the great minds at InTech RV. You’ll like the way these guys think.

Ep. 13 | Campground, Spongebob, or Country Song?

We have a new game! We ask some avid campers, a couple of Princess Craft RV employees a serious line of questions… Is it a campground, a Spongebob episode, or a song by Old Crow Medicine Show? Then, we catch up with teardrop camping friends, Shawn, and Monica Bean! Finally, love it or hate it, beach camping is a thing and we have thoughts on how to do it right.

Ep. 12 | Camp Coffee Jitters | CRUX Expedition Trailers | Noobie Truck Campers

Coffee is so integrated into our lives that we… well, need to take it camping with us! How do you do java and joe on the go? We have some things to try! Expedition Trailers are now a major topic among the camping community and Lorrie Francis developed the CRUX Expedition Trailers to be an all-in option for the off-road adventures. Why would you even think to get a truck camper? Jeff and David are new to truck campers and we caught them talking in the waiting room… so we mic’d them up! And a listener question: My LP detector always goes beep in the night! What’s that all about?
