About this episode
Hey there, Smart RVers!
In this episode, we're breaking down the essentials for a great RVing life. We'll cover the big three of full-time travel: how to handle your mail, manage your money, and make sure you've got your medications squared away while you're on the road.
Then, we dive into the nitty-gritty of RV ownership. We've compiled a list of the top 20 most common RV repairs and we'll give you some tips on how to prevent them and keep your rig running smoothly.
On the travel side, we'll take you on a virtual road trip to two of Nevada's most unusual places: the historic town of Tonopah and the nearby ghost town of Goldfield. We'll share their wild histories and all the unique attractions you can't miss.
Finally, we'll pull back the curtain on the tools the pros use, explaining what they're for and how they can help you with your own RV maintenance.
