What happens when six full-time RVers answer questions they didn't see coming? Pure, unfiltered honesty. In this episode, we're shaking things up with a rapid-fire Q&A where each host asks a question only they know—and the answers get real, fast.

We're diving into what we'd tell our first-week RV selves, how RV life changed us as people (not just travelers), and what new RVers think matters but absolutely doesn't. Spoiler: you don't need RV toilet paper, a fancy GPS, or every membership under the sun. We also get honest about budgets, game-changing RV modifications, and why slowing down might be the best advice you'll ever get.

From Jim's journey learning to roll with the punches to Amy finally standing up for herself at the "old lady RV park," this episode is full of laughs, truths, and a few emotional moments. And yes, Jim has an "Oh Boy" moment involving his truck and an unfortunate side-swipe at Thousand Trails.

Whether you're brand new to the RV community or a seasoned full-timer, this conversation will make you laugh, think, and maybe even rethink what really matters on the road.
