    RV Navigator Episode 252 -10 Things we've learned from 50 years of RVing.
    Apr 1 2026
    We’re celebrating 50 years of RVing and 20 years of podcasting in the 56 years of marriage in 2026. Yes, we started young and are going tn to old age with just as much gusto for RVing as when we started. We’ve RVed in 49 states (and I don’t mean we just drove through), most of Mexico and Canada. This in addition to extended RVing adventures in South Africa and New Zealand. With this experience, we thought that we’d share 10 essential things that we’ve learned about RVing that we hope will help others with less experience. We are not full timers, but we do travel for several months each year so our tips are focused on longer term travels - but apply to any destination. We hope that this sparks some lively conversation on our FB page. What are your favorite RV tips and tricks for making the journey more enjoyable?

    A month in FL at our new seasonal home with an RV garage. However, the RV spent much of the month in the paint shop getting some body work after an incident on the Alaska trip last fall. She has been restored and it ready to travel once again. As heppens when moving into new living quarters, outfitting them is a time consuming task. Home automation is coming of age, so new home gear needs to be automation compatible and Matter makes it happen. What? Well take a listen to get a better understanding of what this is about. TAir travel in the near future? Then you’ll want to hear about our experiences at the airport on oiur return from Mexxico. And yes we had a run-in with Mark Zukerberg.

  • RV Navigator Episode 250 -20 years of podcasting + Butterflies & Whales

    RV Navigator Episode 250 -20 years of podcasting + Butterflies & Whales
    Feb 1 2026
    A busy month for your RV Navigators as make our FL home ours and take a vacation from our vacation. Yes, we are traveling without the RV this month as we make our way South to Mexico. We are checking off another couple of bucket list items off the list. We travel to Mexico City to start the trip to view the Monarch butterfly migration. Every year millions of butterflies make their way south to the mountains outside of Mexico city for no apparent reason. After six days of this adventure, we headed to the Baja Sur to board an expedition ship to seek the whales. More logical than the butterflies, they migrate to this area to give birth and mate before heading back to Alaska to feed in the summer. With 14 naturalist on board we had daily lectures and presentations about the local wildlife (there was more than whales to see), flora and fauna. We have not forgotten that this is an RV podcast so we have several RV topics on the agenda for this episode. What’s on your bucket list?

    Dec 1 2025

    Your RV Navigators want to wish all of our listeners a very merry Christmas and a prosperous new year. For your favorite RVer, we’ve included some gift suggestions in case your still shopping.

    This month has been a busy one for us, as we travel to Churchill, Manitoba to see the polar bears in their nature environment. This was not an RV trip as we traveled by plane 1300 miles North to Hudson Bay, home to the Polar bears. Viewing is done in tundra rovers. These are large bus like vehicle that are designed for rough terrain with huge wheels and special suspension/engine. We were luck to get within feet of the bears for some great photos. This was a 6 day adventure so we were back home in IL before we knew it ready to head back to FL for a couple of weeks. Now after TG we are once again back up north ready too enjoy the holiday season in snow.
