This week I have a fun episode for you. Fellow solo female traveler Charlie Grace and I share our top 7 things we wish we knew about before hitting the road. We compare stories of what our expectations were before we hit the road as solo women RVers versus what the reality is of our lives on the road. We banter a bit back and forth. We had a blast and hope you enjoy this episode.

What do you need to know before you buy an RV? There is surprisingly a lot that goes into the process of buying an RV--new or used. You need to figure out which class of RV is right for you. You need to make sure the rig you're buying is in good condition and once you do find your dream RV, you need to make sure you're not getting ripped off.

Have you ever thought about renovating your RV's interior? Most RVs don't roll off the lot with the most stunning interiors. But with a few simple touches, you can make your RV feel homey and reflect your personality.

My guest this week is Tessa Terry from Alchemy RV Renovations.

Tessa shares some inexpensive and easy things you can do to give your RV a fresh new look. Listen in!

Key Takeaways:

1. No matter what you’re doing to upgrade your RV, consider that your home is going to be going through an earthquake every time you travel.

2. Everything you put into the RV has to go through the front door.

3. With small spaces, buy the best quality you can afford. It will pay off in the long run.

4. Easy thing to spruce up your space: buy new hardware for your cabinets, replace the lights, paint vent covers, a fresh bedspread will all make your place look new. And don’t under estimate how much difference a deep cleaning can make.

5. Speaking of cleaning, when choosing fabrics and flooring get types that are easy to clean.

6. To avoid overwhelm, don’t gut the whole RV at once. Do one room or area at a time.
