This week we had the pleasure to interview Marianne Edwards.  She is the author of The Frugal Shunpiker’s Guides, a popular e-book series that guides you to the best free camping sites throughout the Southwestern United States.  You can find them on her site, here. She has been RVing for over 20 years and has become an industry expert in how to enjoy big travel on a small budget.

Marianne has been profiled in the New York Times and has contributed to many RV industry magazines and newsletters where she has shared her vast knowledge about finding free scenic RV camping on public lands.  We spoke with Marianne about her experiences, but also about the program and website she started, Boondockers Welcome.  She explains the program, how it works and the many benefits and success stories that have come from the service.  If you are looking for an affordable way to RV, Boondockers Welcome is the way to go.
