The RV community is on the move. Spring vacations, returning snowbirds and the new travel season is making many think about where to camp, where to overnight and how to get just the right spot. So this week, we talk to the guy who literally wrote the app on all that, Adam Longfellow from AllStays, the Net's most respected RV and camping website and app.

AllStays just came on as one of our Roadtreking RV Podcast sponsors. But as I've gotten to know Adam, I realized how much helpful information he personally has to share with us all. So I asked him to come on this week and offer up some tips for finding just the right spot to spend the night in our RV. You'll find his suggestions below in the off The Beaten Path report section.

That's just one part of a jam-packed podcast for you this week!

JENNIFER'S TIP OF THE WEEK - The portable chairs we take

One of the most asked questions we get has to do with the portable chairs we carry around with us in our RV for outside seating.

We carry four of them.

Two of them are the Pico Telescoping Directors Chair. They were the very first accessories we bought for our Roadtrek when we were just starting out in 2012. Mike selected them because of how small they are. Each chair folds down to size of a laptop. They are made of breathable nylon mesh and polyester fabric and have scratch free nylon-coated feet. And they have a beverage holder and a side pocket.

They set up and become regular-sized outdoor arm chairs. They are probably the first thing we bring out when we set up camp. And, yes, they are surprisingly comfortable.

We know a lot of fellow Roadterkers have also bought them after seeing ours, so we are obviously not alone in liking these chairs, despite the fact that, at about $100 each, they are certainly on the expensive side. The high cost is no doubt because of the way they telescope down so small.

There are two more chairs we also now carry in our RV.

They are Zero Gravity Reclining chairs, typically sold for around pools and patios.Mike and I call them out “look at the sky chairs” because they let you recline way back.

They take up quite a bit of room. We are able to fit them in the back of our Roadtrek CS Adventurous XL but on our other RVs, they would have been too big.

But they fit just fine in our current Roadtrek and we wouldn’t think of heading out anywhere without bringing these chairs as well. You can get two of the models we have from Amazon for $98.

But check Walmart as we’ve seen them on sale from time to time for considerably less.

The tip of the week is brought to you by Good Sam, the world's most popular RV organization, now celebrating its 50th year.
