Tires, Brakes, Suspension & TPMS Is Sponsored by RV Roofing Solutions

What’s rolling under your RV matters more than most RVers ever realize — until something goes wrong at 65 mph. Jennifer and Tasha are joined by special guest cohost Rick Steelman, a leading expert in RV Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems, for a conversation that could save your rig, your sanity, and maybe your life. From blowouts on Texas highways to brake failure in Florida and a heart-pounding descent down Tioga Pass, this episode is packed with real stories from real roads.

Learn How:

•        Tires become the number one failure point on an RV because of temperature, not pressure

•        To decode your tire’s date code & to know when yours are past their prime

•        UPS, FedEx, & RV owners keep their drivers safe

•        Often your brakes should be inspected, stopping distance increases when towing, & to identify the signs of brake trouble

•        Suspension can affect everything from tire wear to crosswind stability

•        When to repack your wheel bearings & what happens when you don’t

What does it take to build an RV rally community without a playbook? For Don of The Flock RV Rally Company, it took military grit, a Facebook comment, and a lot of listening.

•        The Flock welcomes all Jayco umbrella brands & sometimes their friends

•        To get manufacturers, service techs, & product development teams to your campground

Don't Pet the Fluffy Cows Is Sponsored by RV Roofing Solutions 

Wildlife encounters on the road can be breathtaking or a cautionary tale. Tasha and Jennifer dig into what happens when people get too close for comfort. From the viral "tourons of Yellowstone" to a bear conditioned by human food, and thermal features hot enough to melt a shoe, these are real stories and real stakes.

Learn How:

•        "Tourons" became a social media movement & why it's not a joke

•        To put the 4 universal wildlife rules into practice

•        To apply the 25- & 100-yard rules & Jennifer’s easy way to visualize those distances in the moment

•        To handle a bear encounter, use bear spray, & hike to keep animals moving along

•        Thermal features, wildland fires, snakes, & other wildlife hazards should be treated

Beyond the Brand Is Sponsored by Blu Technology

RV water is more unpredictable and less regulated than most travelers realize. In this episode of Learn To RV: Beyond the Brand, Tasha sits down with Rodrigo Barrera, Vice President of Sales at Blu Technology, to unpack the real story behind campground water quality, what's actually lurking past that basic inline filter, and how a veteran-owned company that got its start during COVID is changing the game for full-timers, weekenders, and everyone in between.

Learn About:

•        Why campground water is far less regulated than most RVers assume, and what that means for every hookup

•        How Blu Technology went from hospital UV sterilization to pioneering a lighter, smarter RV water filtration system

•        What makes a true three-stage filtration system different from the basic inline filter hanging off most rigs

•        The role NSF certification plays in protecting your family and why not every product on the market has it

•        How Blu Tech's mission extends beyond the RV community to global clean water access through water.org

Tracking Weather on the Road Is Sponsored by RV Roofing Solutions

Weather isn’t just small talk when you travel in an RV — it’s a safety issue. Jennifer and Tasha discuss how they track weather on the road, the specific apps that have saved their trips (and maybe their rigs), and the hard lessons they’ve learned from brownouts, water spouts, tornadoes, and hail. From AQI (listen to learn what it is!) to evacuation strategies, they cover the weather topics RVers don’t talk about enough.

Learn How:

•        To tell the difference between a tornado watch and warning

•        To keep the AQI on your radar and your health top of mind

•        Weather apps can change the game for your route planning

•        To manage if your campground doesn’t have a storm shelter

•        To build a simple weather routine that protects your family and your rig

Campground Etiquette Is Sponsored by RV Roofing Solutions

Not all campground rules are posted on a sign and some of the most important ones never will be. In this episode, Tasha and Jennifer get into the campground etiquette conversations other RV podcasts aren’t having: from the infamous campfire opener that may or may not get edited out, to what really happens when you cut through someone’s site at 5 a.m. or an e-bike rider doesn’t know how to brake.

Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a full-timer, there’s something in this one for you.

Learn How:

●      To respect your neighbors’ space, even if the bathroom is just on the other side of their rig

●      To handle noise, lighting, pets, and campfires in ways that keep the whole campground happy

●      Pools, hot tubs, and laundry rooms all come with unspoken rules

●      Posted speed limits make a bigger difference than you think

●      To protect your kids — and your neighbors’ kids
