RV Myths

In this episode, we also tackle some RV Myths and attempt to bust them, including:

  • You are running away from life or that you are antisocial
  • RVing is not safe
  • RVing is a cheap way to live
  • Dumping your tanks is a dirty job
  • You can’t make “real” homemade meals in an RV. You will usually wind up at fast food places.
  • RVing full-time is only for the retired
  • RV news from around the world

    Here are some of the topics we discuss in this episode.

    Midway KY says votes no to water and sewage for RV park

    Midway RV Park in Kentucky is getting a lot of resistance to building a large RV park. The town has about 1700 people and they do not like how the RV park may impact the community.

    New Lazy days dealer coming to Iowa

    Lazy Days announced it is building a dealership in Council Bluffs, Iowa to serve the Omaha, NE metro area.

    A solar-powered electric camper van has completed a 1,242-mile journey

    Created by 22 students, this solar-powered electric drivetrain RV has everything two people need to live on the go, including a bathroom, shower, sink, toilet, sofa, kitchen area, and a double bed. During the trip, the team drove about 186 miles per day at speeds of up to 75 miles per hour. Will this be the future of RVing?

    The First Production RV Built Over 100 Years Ago

    Now that we have seen what the future of RVing could be, let’s talk about where it all began. The RV industry may be older than you think. In 1910, the Pierce Arrow Touring Landau was showcased as the first production RV. Even though it was built over 100 years ago, the Piece-Arrow conversion utilized many RV features that we use today in our modern RVs.
