RV Small Talk Podcast

Nothing removes RVing anxiety like feeling knowledgeable and prepared. Terry Cooper, the Texas RV Professor, is on a mission to get all RVers and service centers trained up with the knowledge and skills that are needed to keep America enjoying the wonders and adventures of the road. Cooper and his wife, Evada, have created the National RV Training Academy to get all RV owners, RV technicians, and RV inspectors exactly what thy need to be successful and to enjoy their pursuits.

Everybody needs to pursue bucket list experiences in amazing locations... but we needn't do so at the expense of the countless experiences and memories that can be had close to home, wherever that home may be! Chet Garner has been exploring an encouraging Texans (and beyond!) to wander both near and far for fun, education, great food, and much more. His Emmy-winning show, The Daytripper, is a favorite in the Lone Star State, and a must when researching the various places you may find yourself when RVing in Texas.

Right in the middle of the Austin RV Expo, we sat down to talk with Kate Dunbar, the Campground Gourmet, about the exploding (and award-winning) whiskey and bourbon scene in Texas. We've all heard about wine trails, wine tours, and whatnot... but a top-tier whiskey and bourbon adventure in the Lone Star State might just be another reason to put your boots on and make a visit to the land of the Alamo, Big Bend, Willie Nelson and everything else Texas has to offer an RVer. Take a listen, y'all!

With acronyms and names like GVR, GVWR, GAWR, Dry Weight, and more, things can get confusing. Adding to the confusion is these numbers are found in different places on the trailer, online, and in the brochures. Yikes! PJ is here to help us wrap our heads around the madness!

So many RVs have slide out rooms and more these days, but there's still some anxiety out there about slide out reliability, maintenance, and more. So, we're going to talk a bit about the pros and cons of slide-outs, as well as how to maintain them. Also, PJ fields several of the questions we hear at the dealership on a regular basis. This should be fun!
