Can you REALLY use AI to plan a camping trip?

This week in Episode 448 of the RV podcast, we find out if you can really use AI to plan a camping trip, interviewing the CEO of a new RV travel planning app that relies almost entirely on AI.

Plus, we have lots RV News, RV tips, social media tidbits and answers to audience questions about the RV Lifestyle.

RV SOCIAL MEDIA BUZZ - Wendy Bowyer

Wendy Bowyer reports on the hot issues most talked about this past week on our RV Lifestyle Facebook Group:

One post that REALLY got people talking - we're talking more than 1,000 responses - was from Mike who posted: "I noticed a lot of people are selling their homes to live in an RV. Why?"

For days people shared their thoughts, which included things like:

-It's an affordable way to travel

-You can go anywhere you want at any time

-RVing is a great way to simplify life and get back to the basics

And perhaps my favorite response was from Michelle who said she chose the RV Lifestyle because:  "Life is short and this country is large and amazing."

Next I'd like to share a post from Nicole. Nicole is shopping for an RV and knows she wants one about 30 feet long. So Michelle asked the group what is better - a 30-foot class A or a 30-foot Class C. Boy, did her question get people talking!

Many in the Class A group said a Class A has more storage space, more inside living space, higher ceilings, and a larger front window making it easier to see out of when driving.

Those who preferred Class Cs said a Class C is easier to get in and out of, easier to get serviced at an auto dealer, and you could choose a gas-powered option instead of diesel, saving money on fuel.

But perhaps Remi had the best advice: Rent one of each and see which you like more.

Finally, I don't know what it is about bugs, but we had another bug post that really created a lot of buzz. Trish said: "Miller moths. Any Colorado folks know how to kill them in my camper? HUNDREDS of them!"

Then Trish shared a video of her RV bathroom with what looked like about 100 of these moths swarming in a very small space. Yuck!

And apparently, I was not alone in that thought.  Terri said she thought the video was horrifying!

Many in the group were quick to offer help. Raymond suggested using a vacuum cleaner to suck them up. Others, like Joanna, suggested getting a large bowl of soapy water and shining a light on it so the moths fly into the water and get stuck.

If you are camping in Colorado right now, experts recommend you turn off your lights to keep them away because light attracts moths. And have heart - the swarming Miller moths shouldn't be around too much longer.

That's it from me this week. I am Wendy Bowyer, and I'll see you over at the RV Lifestyle Facebook group.
