Show Notes:
Episode 6, everybody! If you’re into small camping trailers, truck campers, RV lifestyle, and more, we think you’ll find something of interest here!
Our view of the RV landscape is a little different than that of other RV podcasts because we… work at an RV dealership! (Princess Craft RV, in Round Rock, TX) Our unique vantage point of working at an RV dealership gives us is a different kind of access to RVers, manufacturers, and customers who share the highs and lows of their travel and camping experiences. We listen, learn, and share!
Deliveries are down? Is this a problem?
If you’ve been following the RV industry at all over the course of 2019, you’ve probably heard some sorrowful news that manufacturers are getting as much product out to the dealerships across the US. That’s true. PJ quickly puts the situation into perspective and lays out what it means for the buyers in the market.

Meet the RV Small Talk (pod)Cast!
PJ is the co-owner and fearless leader at Princess Craft RV with her husband, Richard. They focus on quality and lightweight trailers and truck campers, with an emphasis on customer service and a crew that feels like family!
Lindsay joined Princess Craft in 2015 and wears a few hats, including event coordinator and inventory manager. After teaching preschool for a decade, a growing family brought her to the dealership to try something new. Still learning the world of RV’s, and having fun along the way!
Clint is a tall goofball with dad jokes for days… Clint is a former middle school technology and social studies teacher who happened to stumble into friendship with the fine folks at Princess Craft RV. They invited him to join the fun in 2017 and he’s been lost in the production of neat things like YouTube videos and podcasts ever since! (check out our Walkthrough Tour videos on YouTube!)
