From Network TV to RV Life: Kevin McCabe of RV There Yet? TV

Kevin McCabe has spent more than 30 years in television production. After producing the long-running fishing show Addictive Fishing, he pivoted during COVID and co-created RV There Yet? TV, now airing on the Discovery Channel.

In this episode of the Wandering Gypsy RV Life Podcast, Kevin shares:

• How a reunion video launched a 20+ year television career
• The moment he pitched an RV travel show to Discovery
• What long-form broadcast storytelling requires that social creators often underestimate
• Why RV rallies and live education still matter
• How to avoid burnout in today’s creator economy
• The mindset behind longevity in both media and RV life

We also talk about authenticity, partnerships, FRVA rallies, and why Kevin believes the real legacy of RV There Yet? is inspiring people to get off the couch and explore America.

If you’ve ever wondered what separates network-level storytelling from social media content, this conversation pulls back the curtain.
