Our guest in the RV Podcast Interview of the week is Mark Koep, of CampgroundViews.com, whose motto is "Look Where You Are Going."

And that's what he shows us how to do in this week's podcast. Because CampgroundViews.com - as its name applies - is all about showing, the podcast video version is probably the best way for you to really grasp the power of the technology Mark illustrates.
