After we mentioned boondocking in our episode on the five best travel apps, Melina received a text from a friend asking what boondocking was. Turns out, after talking to some of our other RV Newbie friends, our friend wasn't alone! Fast forward to this week, and we've adjusted our podcast schedule to bring you the answer!

Essentially, boondocking with your RV or travel trailer is staying somewhere outside a traditional campground where you don't have fresh water, sewer or power connections. Boondocking for us, is a safe night's sleep on our way to our other camping destinations!

In this episode we cover (and use the chapter markers in the episode navigation bar if you want to skip to a particular section):

• What boondocking is [0:59]
• The difference between RV boondocking, dry camping and dispersed camping [1:35]
• Why, when, and where to boondock [3:43]
• Boondocking etiquette (if you only listen to one section - let this be it!) [5:57]
• And we round out the episode with a review of our recent stay at Bronte Creek Provincial Park in Oakville, Ontario Canada [11:37]

On today's episode, we're talking about the five most essential websites or apps for taking a road trip. And it all starts with hauling our current trailer 3000 kilometers round trip to chase a solar eclipse. (Which was just a good excuse for a road trip and a chance to hit the road.) 

It was the first time we've taken our 29' trailer and the girls on a really big trip and it was really I think a dry run for bigger things to come. We talk our five favourite apps:

1. Roadtrippers
2. Pilot/Flying J
3. RV Parky
4. Google Satelite View
5. Allstays Camp & RV

We also talk about some of the best places we've had an overnight at:

• RV Express 66 RV Park in Marshfield, MO
• Enchanted Trails RV Park in Albuquerque, NM
• And of course, that famous park that has golf-cart pizza delivery - Ocean Lakes Family Campground in Myrtle Beach, SC

Finally, we answer our FIRST listener question about Bike Racks for RVs and Trailers!

Yes, we made our #2 episode on, well...#2. Expect more of that folks, when you travel with the RV Canucks. The real truth is that black water maintenance is the elephant in the room when it comes to the RV lifestyle. Absolutely everyone in the RV community has to deal with it, but no one wants to talk about it. So, sound the homemade toilet paper roll horns because we're here to tell you everything we've learned about tank maintenance so you can camp worry-free and avoid a (literal) mountain of trouble.

AND, stick around, because at the end of the episode, we've got our campground review of Selkirk Provincial Park. Check out the trip guide at rvcanucks.com for the full details but in this episode, we cover the basics of the park, great day trips and things you need to know before you go!

Take a load off and relax as we destigmatize holding tank management for your RV!

Welcome to Episode 1 of the RV Canucks Podcast!!

We're THRILLED you came to find out how on earth we managed to jump a dead deer with a pop-up camper and lived to tell the tale!

In This Episode, we cover:
Our first 1600+ km road trip

• Our review of Pancake Bay Provincial Park in Ontario
• The BEST purchase we have ever made as an RV family
• ...and of course...the infamous deer story

Honestly, in the grand scheme of things, this was just a blip in the radar of other weird and wonderful adventures we've had on the open road (if a bit traumatic for our girls, who were 4 and 7 at the time) 

Listen to the full podcast for all the details as well as some valuable tips from way back in 2013 when we did our first "big" road trip with our first trailer.

Full show notes and links to all the gear and products we discuss can be found on the RV Canucks website
