Lots of RVers are spending Thanksgiving in an RV. It takes planning to pull it off successfully, but provides lots of great memories for families and friends.

It's Thanksgiving week and we RVers and campers have so much to be thankful for this season. In this week's episode 473, we'll share lots of Thanksgiving notes and hear from a couple that has hosted Thanksgiving in an RV for the past 10 years.

This year, they'll be joined at the campground by 23 family members.
