Win a Satellite GPS Geofencing System for your dog



We have a great new giveaway to announce today for all of you who love to travel with your dog and want them to be able to explore leash-free. It's the SpotOn GPS Fence that lets your dog run free, without running into trouble.



We bought one for Bo last fall and have been so pleased with it. You use an app to set up wireless geofences. We have one that covers about 3 acres on our Tennessee property and another that covers 5 acres in Michigan.



Here's a video of how we use this system with Bo:







You can set up multiple fences in multiple locations and when the dog strays near the boundary, they receive a tone alert. If they keep going, they get a correction vibration. It keeps them safely inside the boundary lines you set and lets your dog live life unleashed.



Among its key features:




* No wires. Make and edit fences plus track your dog right from your phone.



* Easy to take with you wherever you go. No cell service is needed.



* Train your dog in three easy steps.



* Instant fences work great for camping, travel, and on the go.



* Works under tree canopies in wooded areas.




We are giving one away in two weeks. Enter as many times as you want at https://rvlifestyle.com/sweepstakes 



RV Travel with a Purpose with Habitat for Humanity



Our Interview of the week guests are Danielle and Don, two of the RVing volunteers for Habitat for Humanity.



Danielle is a volunteer who does RV Travel with a Pur[ose for Habitat for Humanity



We met them at the Florida RV Supershow in Tampa, where they were staffing a booth promoting the Care-A-Vanners Program.



As they explained in the interviews, volunteer RVers participate in building projects all across the nation, helping needy families have a decent place to live. Each assignment typically lasts two weeks and the RVers usually stay on the project grounds or nearby.



Don is a retired Air Traffic Controller who volunteers for the Care-A-Vanners program of Habitat for Humanity



Many of the RVers come back year after year. And you don't have to have strong building skills. The project can use everyone.
