Hershey RV Show Recap: best new rigs, real-world misses, and smart show tips
Ryan survived America’s Largest RV Show (Hershey) so you don’t have to—kidding… kind of. We compare Hershey vs. Tampa, talk parking/entry headaches, where the vendors actually are, and what NEW rigs + systems lived up to the hype. We also announce the podcast’s move to its own YouTube channel.
