7 Reasons Why You Need to Do a Fall Camping Trip

With cooler temperatures and fewer people, a fall camping trip should be at the top of every RVer's bucket list before the camping season comes to an end.

That's what we talk about this week on Episode 463 of the RV Podcast, along with:

* Should you use cruise control when towing an RV?

* A woman in Georgia dropped off her RV for repair. When she picked it up she found it trashed because squatters had been living in it. 

* If you are in elk country, give them a wide berth  It’s mating season and they can become extremely aggressive.

* All this plus the RV News of the Week and your questions coming up in Episode #463 of the RV Podcast

Updates and Feedback

We have some feedback to share:

We had a very nice email from a follower named Gary, who emails us:

Hey there. As children, our family had 3 different RVs touring the Midwest and west coast. I decided to purchase a class C and expose my family to some fun and excitement.  Nothing better than jumping in the RV and driving, pulling over whenever it's time for a beer. We don't make reservations, unless it's beach camping in so-cal. Then it's a must. Driving around Nevada, Arizona, California, Utah, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. There are hundreds of Mom and Pop "sleepy hollows" RV parks tucked away along the path. One stands out called "Friendly RV Park" in Weed, California. Which isn't so friendly. Laminated signs everywhere, they hate children and pets.  Even asking you to take pics of poop and its owner and submitting them to the office. WOW!!!  Anyway that's the worst place we have encountered in 9 years of RVing. In my opinion it's better than traveling by plane, or car. More fun and gives us time to bond with the kids. It's a learning experience plus it's a blast.- Gary

Then… there’s this note from Despina:

In case no one else has recommended the podcast “FieldTrip” to you I thought I would.  As you drive from one place to another you will enjoying listening to this fantastic podcast. It’s a journey through the past and the future of Yosemite, Glacier, Everglades, White Sands and Gates of the Arctic National Parks. The Washington Post reporter, Lillian Cunningham’s excellent description of the parks creates a visual picture as you listen. Hopefully you and Jennifer will find it as fascinating as Peter and I. - Despinia

NOTE: This is not an app. If you search for an app called that, you’ll get something about psychedelic drugs and tripping out. Those are not the kind of trips we recommend. There used to be a travel app called Field Trip but it was discontinued a while back. This is a podcast from the Washington Post, so search for it under your favorite podcast app. It is quite good.
