Weird Roadside Attractions Off the Beaten Path


Listen Later


Half the fun of an RV road trip is discovering weird roadside attractions as you get off the interstates and travel the backroads. That's where the bizarre, quirky, and fun stops can be found that are sure to amuse and delight.



In Episode 443 of the RV Podcast, we interview an expert about what's waiting for you out there, from Giant Donuts to Mysterious Statues. Further, he tells you how to find them, too.



Also in this episode, Social Media RV Buzz, the RV News of the Week, RV Tips, the Travel App of the Week, and we answer your RV Questions.

RV Social Media Buzz - By Wendy Bowyer







Another busy week over at the RV Lifestyle Facebook group.



One post getting a lot of buzz is a news story Hayli shared with the group. 



A Canadian RVing couple decided to visit New Orleans. Left their fifth wheel in the campground, drove their truck into the city and parked in a lot across from the police station and visited the French Quarter -when they came back, their truck was stolen!



While some RVers said they had visited New Orleans many times and never had any problems, others said they had been a victim of crime.



My favorite comment was from Janna wondering if there was a kind soul in the group willing to reach out and help this couple tow their rig home to Canada. 



One of the things I love about the RV community: people really do want to help one another. 



Another post that got people talking was from John - he asked: Why do RVers put nitrogen in their tires?



There were many responses. Some said it is completely unnecessary, pointing out air is already 78 percent nitrogen. Others said it helps, getting into chemistry, physics, sharing charts and discussing how nitrogen molecules are slightly larger than air molecules resulting in a tire losing pressure at a slower rate.



One of my favorite answers was from Kevin who said the best thing you can do for your tires is carefully monitor your tire pressure as you're out there on a trip. 



Finally, I'd like to share one of my favorite posts: One beautiful campground.



Carl is camping at the Watchman campground at Zion National Park. Carl said he hit the weather just right and shared some pictures of his site.. And wow, was it ever beautiful.



That is what camping is all about!
