Before COVID-19, Lindsay and Clint would stop by the local animal shelter every week to help dogs find foster and forever homes. RVers love their pets, and pets add immeasurable value to travels, so it made sense to help out! Well, we finally get together with Misty Valenta to see how the animal shelter is doing in these unique times. They’ve figured out how to pivot and make it all work!
We have questions… and some conversation with a little Google sprinkled in may get us to some answers. Lindsay’s wondering about the various RV designations. Clint is overwhelmed by the different National Park System designations. PJ, she’s looking for clarity on RV Wi-Fi. It’s pretty fun, really!
It’s hard to escape the solar and battery discussions in the RV world these days, and that’s for good reason. There are some real benefits to these systems… if you have the right setup for your needs.

Everybody needs to pursue bucket list experiences in amazing locations… but we needn’t do so at the expense of the countless experiences and memories that can be had close to home, wherever that home may be! Chet Garner has been exploring an encouraging Texans (and beyond!) to wander both near and far for fun, education, great food, and much more. His Emmy-winning show, The Daytripper, is a favorite in the Lone Star State, and a must when researching the various places you may find yourself when RVing in Texas.
Here in Texas we have some famous wine trails, and we are getting more breweries than I can keep track of! But did you know that Texas is home to something else that will lift your spirits? We talk to Kate Dunbar, the Campground Gourmet, about the Texas Whiskey Trail, 19 distilleries and counting! Kate is not only a campground chef, but on her way to becoming a whiskey expert herself. Cheers!
We have some fixes for what bugs ya! Really, we talk about bug deterrents and tools to take the fight to them. Also in this episode, we talk about trading in your RV. The way we approach the matter… matters!
