Jess Walker traded a 2,300-sq-ft FL home for 350 sq ft of freedom and never looked back.

•        The Hershey RV show landed FlagPole Buddy in Camping World

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

Community Spotlight is Sponsored by RV Roofing Solutions

What does it take to solo RV across 21 states, work in 30 hospitals, and share your rig with two cats and a ball python? Candice Cameron has been figuring that out since she was 29. Tasha sits down with this solo female RVer and traveling surgical technologist to talk about the career that makes her road life possible, the pets that keep her company, and the hard-won lessons she’s picked up at truck stops, campgrounds, and everything in between.

Learn How:

●      A career in surgical technology creates the ultimate mobile work setup

●      Solo women RVers are quietly changing the culture at campgrounds

●      Harvest Hosts and Good Sam fit into a life of extended-stay RVing

●      To build confidence behind the wheel of a 31-foot rig

●      To keep pets (including a 4.5-foot ball python) happy on the road

●      To trust your gut when safety is all on you

Ticks & Alpha-Gal Syndrome Sponsored by RV Roofing Solutions

Ticks aren't just creepy — they can change your life. In this eye-opening episode, Tasha and Jennifer dig into one of the most underreported tick-borne conditions on the rise across the U.S.: Alpha-Gal Syndrome. Tasha shares her family’s personal journey after her son David was diagnosed last year, revealing how a single tick bite triggered a red meat and mammal-product allergy that impacts everything from grocery shopping to dining out on the road.

Learn How:

•        To identify Alpha-Gal Syndrome and which ticks (yes, more than one!) can cause it

•        Alpha-Gal Syndrome is spreading into new regions and what that means for RVers and outdoor explorers

•        Alpha-Gal hides in everyday food products and medicines, not just red meat

•        To know you should talk to your doctor

•        Practical steps can protect your family on the trail

Beyond the Brand Is Sponsored by RV Roofing Solutions

Jennifer has an idea, and this time, Joel and Christina Bram from the Community Spotlight series are along for the ride with Tasha. In this special announcement episode, the four hosts pull back the curtain on an exciting new weekly series launching April 1st: Beyond the Brand. Airing every Wednesday, it’s a short-form interview series designed to spotlight the small businesses and passionate founders shaping the RV community — one story at a time.

Learn About:

•        What Beyond the Brand is and why it’s launching

•        Why the first featured company is NOT RV Roofing Solutions and the heart behind that decision

•        What types of brands will be featured and why it’s about stories, not sales pitches

•        How businesses can get featured, including a special half-price offer

•        How listeners can suggest brands they want to hear on the show

Faith, Family & Full-Time Miles Sponsored by RV Roofing Solutions

Joel and Kristina Bram nearly hit the road back in 2010 before kids, before COVID, before anyone had a roadschooling playbook. Life had other plans. Fast-forward through infertility, a global pandemic, and a sideswiped truck in Florida, and the Brams are closing in on 5 full years on the road with 3 kids. They also happen to be the marketing minds powering Learn To RV behind the scenes.

Jen sat down with the Brams to talk about what it takes to build community on the road, keep a family thriving through the hard seasons, and run a full-service digital marketing business from wherever you're parked.

Learn How:
●       The first 6 months nearly ended their RV journey

●       An unexpected moment convinced them full-time life was possible

●       The RV community showed up for them in a way no church building had

●       To balance extroverts & introverts on the road

●       To find faith & fellowship while traveling

●       To fund full-time travel with remote work

Paws Claws & Life on the Road is Sponsored by RV Roofing Solutions

Nomad life doesn’t have to mean leaving your pets behind. Jennifer and Tasha are joined by four special guests — Ashley and Steve from Campfires & Motors, Teal from Towed You So, and a very secret surprise guest host — for a laugh-filled, real-talk conversation about what it actually takes to travel full-time with your animals. From reactive dogs and emergency vet visits to ferret math and speedy animals with built-in racing stripes, this one’s for every RVer who refuses to leave their furry, spikey, or slimey family member behind.

Learn How:

•        To source pet food on the road, even for large breeds or special diets

•        To handle emergency vet care far from home and why digital records are super important

•        Exotic pets can work on the road

•        To help pets adjust to a new rig and frequent moves

•        To avoid impulse adoptions (and what can happen when you don’t)
