Is a Guided RV Tour Right for YOU?

If you like cruises and all-inclusive travel, a guided RV tour sure makes sense. Except instead of ships, you're cruising in an RV "land yacht" with all your camping, excursion, and most of your meal costs covered at no additional costs.

In Episode 453 RV Podcast this week we talk about Guided RV Tours and find out if they are right for you.

Other topics this week include:

- Should eBikes be allowed in National Parks?

- A great make-ahead camping food recipe to save you time

- and expert tips on keeping your RV Plumbing System working properly

SOCIAL MEDIA BUZZ - Wendy Bowyer

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

Lots of people in the RVLifestyle Facebook group are out there camping and sometimes that brings many questions, like one from Sara.

Sara's had her trailer for a little over a year. She is traveling from campsite to campsite, and temperatures are HOT so she asked: Is there a way to cool down the camper faster on travel days? She estimated the temperatures are in the 90s when she pulls over around 6 pm. She wanted to be able to rest, prepare food and not feel like she was stepping into an oven at the end of the day.

So many helpful suggestions, including:

- cover windows and skylight with Reflectix when you travel

- if at a campsite, hook up to electricity and run the air before you set up anything else

- never cook inside your rig when it is hot, instead use an outside stove

If you are in the same situation, be sure to check out the post for even more ideas.

Allison had a tip to share. She said she is always on the lookout for better storage for all her gear. She found a wreath box last winter that is 25 inches in diameter. She is using it now to store a 50-foot heated hose in her rig. It is a wonderful hack, and many liked it leaving comments like "brilliant" or "what a great idea." We will share a picture of it with this report in case it can help you.

And then finally, there is one picture I just have to share.

Clark was camping at Zion National Park and when he was walking back to his rig after being out all day and couldn't believe what he saw. It looked like someone had painted this gorgeous desert landscape scene in the front window of his Class A. In fact, when he first saw it, he said to himself, "Who did this?" Then he realized it was the reflection. Apparently, the light was just right and this unbelievable image was being perfectly reflected in his giant Class A window. He snapped a picture and shared it with the group generating hundreds of responses.

Many, like Beverly, said, "It doesn't get much better than that!"
