Staying On The Road: Eric helps the Smart RVers be even smarter in this section by giving them advice and information. We can learn so much about how to take care of our RVs by digging and researching, and Eric gives a crash course about measuring awnings and LED light facts.

The Next Stop: Shenandoah National Park, Virginia, is a wonderful destination for any RVer. Eric and Alexis discuss the many unique things you can do while you're in the area. Virginia has a lot to offer the Smart RVer. The Park is beautiful, and the state has so much natural charm. And so much history to learn and explore.
RV Envy: Eric talks about the crazy world of “spare keys.” He emphasizes the importance of having a backup plan to access your RV. Sometimes, we don’t plan for things to happen to our keys, but things can happen, so being prepared and having spares is always the way to go.
