How important is education before you start your RV journey? I (Patti) talked to Tom and Cait from Mortons on the Move. They admit to starting out and not having any education about RVing, except the the YouTube videos they watched.

Today's conversations is a treasury of resources for both newbies and veterans of the RV lifestyle. None of us were shy about the bumps we've hit or the mistakes we've made because they've become valuable teaching moments, and we're excited to share those insights.  Tom and Cait took it a step further and offer their lesson in a Masterclass as well as other resources.
