The last week has been crazy! We totally screwed up traveling to visit family for the holiday. It was such a rookie mistake but just proves that we're human - get all the juicy deets in this episode. We also break down the 3-3-3 rule for RV travel as well as pros and cons to checking in early at campgrounds. But since part of this crazy week was towing the RV on a terrible road, we were inspired to share our top 3 worst roads for RV travel... at least the worst roads we've traveled on so far. These include one of the scariest bridges in the US, driving down an 8% grade as you're staring off a cliff, and the one Kara dubbed the "bounce house" road.

Our show is all about our stories, screwups, and successes living the fulltime rv life. Well, this week have we got a story for you!

Ever heard the saying when it rains it pours? What started as a normal Monday ended with a head scratching screwup. Ok, maybe a little more than a scratch. 10 staples later The Driver Ryan learned that running into the kingpin hitch can in fact lead to an ER visit and he gained fresh new respect for the word “duck”.

Good story so far? Oh, but the plot thickens.
Two days later Kara learned she has a new allergy... and it’s pretty deadly one. After four days in the hospital she’s recovering back at our home on wheels, and now has new respect for the word “life”.
This all happened while we’re 700 miles away from family and friends. This week we got a good reminder about why it’s important to soak in every moment doing what you love with the ones you love and that’s the real success.

Hear all about this crazy week on this episode!

We just thought this was going to be easy! In this episode we walk through a step by step guide to sanitize your RV tanks, but things don’t go according to plan and we end up mockdocking a little longer than expected.

Check out all the shenanigans!

Sanitization Recipe:
2 cups bleach
5 gallons water

Mix the bleach and water together in a bucket. Set RV water pump to draw from outside into the fresh tank (sanitization mode). Add mixture to the RV fresh tank. Then turn RV to fill the fresh tank mode. Then fill the fresh tank with water until full. Turn RV to dry camp mode but bypass the water heater. Turn on all sinks, shower, and washer (as applicable) until you smell bleach. Then turn all water sources off and leave the mixture to set for at least 8 hours. Empty fresh tank by turning on all sinks and shower again. Then flush fresh tank until no bleach smell remains. Empty grey tank as needed and repeat the flush until the fresh tank is fully clear of bleach.

SoftStartUp was provided to us for free, but all information in this podcast are our own.

Are you ready for some mooch docking mayhem?! 🤯 In this episode, we put our RV's power limits to the test with SoftStartUp to see just how much we can run on a 20 amp connection. 💪⚡

🔥 What We Tested: 
✅ One AC unit (success!)
✅ Two AC units (kind of... for a while 😅)
✅ Microwave magic (sometimes yes, sometimes no!)
✅ Air fryer feasting (hit or miss 🤷)
✅ Dryer drama (success, thank goodness for clean clothes!)

Along the way, we laugh, fail, and figure out exactly what you can (and can't) get away with when you're mooch docking at a friend's house. Because the last thing you want is to trip their breaker at midnight trying to heat up a Hot Pocket! 😂🥶

Hey, hey, hey, happy campers! 😎🌟 Welcome back to another fun and slightly chaotic live episode! We’re back on Thursday (after a little break – oops!) and bringing you ALL the laughs, RV tips, and a little bit of chaos as usual!

Today, we're chatting about RV fueling etiquette, those unspoken rules that make your travel life a little easier! 🚛⛽️ Plus, we’re spilling the tea on why we avoid Buc-cee's when towing (seriously, too many zippy cars! 🏎️💨) and why truck stop etiquette is a MUST!

Also, guess what?! We tried out a viral TikTok trend – and it took WAY more takes than expected! 🤪 #worthit

Oh, and did someone mention RV recalls? 😱 Yikes! We’re breaking down the latest news and sharing some crazy stories about our own RV adventures (and misadventures). #recall Check www.nhtsa.gov/recall to see if your RV has a recall issued.
