In Episode 95 Eric is making up for lost time after being sick and not being able to work on his podcasts. He is glad to be back doing what he loves, helping others solve RV-related problems. Rather than cover the RV life Style segment in a traditional sense he dives into raising fuel prices and RVers can crunch the numbers to estimate a "real" estimate of what the actual fuel cost will be for a great trip in the RV. After all, the memories need to be made, the family loves a great getaway.

As always Eric uses his experience from talking with RVers about how much future trips could cost in regards to fuel. It is an eye-opener because quite often the cost is exaggerated because real numbers aren't being used. Depending on where you are going and what your mileage is the cost might be a lot more affordable than previously thought. In many scenarios, it may only require cutting back on some other expenses to offset the higher fuel cost. Camping closer to home might be an option as well.

Staying on the Road is a must for RVers and that will require some maintenance from time to time. Leaky faucets, fittings, and other plumbing may require to be repaired before a trip and hopefully not on it. In this episode, Eric explains what Camper X's challenge and solution were and how he failed to do the repair right and at home on his own terms.

Listen to find out how important it is not to put off needed maintenance such as a leaky faucet and how important it is to have some spare plumbing fittings in the toolbox.

Next Stop is a great segment because Eric highlights different RV Friendly places to go around the country. In this episode, he covers the northern tip of the Oregon Coast. Primarily Seaside, Haystack Rock, and even though Astoria wasn't directly included it is just a short distance away. Of course, there are great places to eat and awesome RV Parks to camp at.
