Have you ever felt fear? Haven't we all?  Has it stopped you from doing what you really wanted?  Dan & I (Patti) know that feeling well, and facing our fear has taken us from stationary lives to full-time adventurers. We hope this episode helps you to go after your dreams.

Our guest, Garr Russell, Owner of  Fireside RV Rental recounting his story of being told he was lazy and how he went from lawnmower business owner to motorhome industry influencer in his book "My Wheel Estate Story, which deeply resonated with us and sparked a profound emotional connection. 
Garr shares the invaluable lessons learned from failure—those moments of 'failing forward' which have shaped his journey. Learning to face your fears is what its all about.

We spoke about how making connections is so important to the RV Life and the entrepreneur, Garr needed a solution for a toll transponder for his rentals.
We introduced him to the Open Roads Innovative Toll Transponder which works in all 48 states... problem solved.  You can click the link and get this toll pass too.

All campgrounds are not created equal. The best RV campgrounds starts with great owners.  As Dan & I make our Spring and Summer camping plans we can't help but marvel at the uniqueness of each campground we've encountered.  We are often asked, "What are your favorite campgrounds?" the answer...
we love different campgrounds for different reasons.  

On today’s episode we had a lively conversation with Ali Rasmussen, owner of Spacious Skies Campgrounds, with 15 locations. She is one of our favorite campground owners and answers questions such as...

How do I find a campground that fits my needs?                             
What should I look for in a campground?                                                           
When should I make reservations and can I get last minute reservations?
What about inclusivity within these campgrounds?                                
Why do Dan & I call Spacious Skies Campgrounds one of our favorites?

Want more information go to Spacious Skies Campgrounds.

Our special announcement…
Dan & I were named Newmar’s Brand Ambassador
Many reason we chose Newmar... their commitment to their customers.

We had the privilege of speaking with Leigh Tiffin, President of Tiffin Motorhomes and VP of sales Freddie Swinney, and had an enlightening dialogue on maintaining a legacy of excellence and family values in the face of corporate acquisition by THOR Industries. The conversation shifts gears into how sports discipline translates into business acumen and the irreplaceable role of customer service, proving that the Tiffin name continues to drive the industry forward. We also examine the cogs and gears of the Tiffin-Freightliner partnership, promising to rev up the RV experience with chassis innovation and an iron-clad service network.

The new Bob Tiffin Limited Edition Bus is a tribute by Leigh to his grandfather Bob for his 82nd birthday.  We were at the Florida RV SuperShow and walked through unit #001. This coach is a beautiful "One of a Kind" Bus that has everything so well thought out.
