On today’s show we talk about “how to travel with Pets”. With more and more people on the road, it seems they ALL have pets. But what’s up with pet etiquette and why so many people are just llettig their pets off leash and just running around? I’ll share a story about dogs off leash when I was recording last weeks show. We also share the real reason why National Parks don’t allow pets on trails. And a piece of gear that alerts you via text message the temp in your rig if you have to leave your pet inside your rig. Also we share some tips to make sure your pet is safe. We want to know if you travel with Pets and if you have seen an increase in bad behavior both with pets and their owners NOT cleaning up after them.

On today’s show we talk about “When is it too cold to stay in your RV or Van?”. The reason I ask is because the last 10 days I drove through 9 States where temps ranged between 15 degrees at night to 40. But with those extreme temps how does one prepare for cold nights. I am going to share some tips on how to stay warm in the worst conditions and how to plan way ahead of time for weather so you don’t get caught in some real suck.

As we complete our first year of full time RV travel on the road we have witnessed some pretty unruly RVers, and Nomads. Not a lot, but a few. On a recent trip to the Grand Tetons, we had someone park right up next to us when there was plenty of room. It’s BLM land of course so there is room for everyone. We put together what we think are the top 8 Un Written Rules for Nomads and RVers to at least take a look at and remind ourselves, we are all in this together.
