Episode 51 tackles a crucial topic: towing safety. After seeing a post about a rollover accident involving a half-ton truck and a 6,000-lb trailer, Cathy breaks down the key lessons—tow vehicle capacity, weight distribution, hitch setup, driving speed, and how to prevent (and recover from) trailer sway.

Plus, hear how the iPhone SOS satellite feature played a critical role when no one on scene had cell service.

If you tow, this episode could literally save your life.

After a quiet couple of months, I’m back — and I’ve got some life updates to share!

In this episode, I’m opening up about our recent decision to step out of full-time RV living and into a temporary rental home. What started as a short-term plan to find land and build a home turned into four years of stationary RV life — and we finally hit a point where it was time to pivot.

I talk about:

• Why we decided to rent a house (even though it wasn’t the plan)

• The emotional and practical side of moving out of the RV

• What I’ve learned about flexibility, minimalism, and trusting the bigger plan

• How this shift has reignited my love for RVing and travel

• What’s next for us — and the podcast!

If you’re navigating RV life, stuck in the in-between, or simply need a reminder that it’s okay to shift gears, this episode is for you.

Thanks for sticking with me — it’s good to be back. Let’s keep moving forward, one adventure at a time.

LET’S GO CAMPING! 🚐🌸

But first… let’s talk SPRING MAINTENANCE.

Before you hit the road, your RV deserves a little TLC! Preventative maintenance is one of the best ways to protect your investment, avoid costly repairs, and keep your rig ready for adventure—all while boosting future resale value.

In this episode of All Things RV Podcast, I’m walking you through the exact spring maintenance checklist we follow before our first camping trip of the season. From roof inspections to wheel bearings and everything in between, I’ll share what we do, why we do it, and tips to help you get road-ready with confidence.

☕ Grab your coffee and let’s dive in—it’s time to get that RV road-ready!

This week on the All Things RV Podcast, I sat down with Eva Mitic from Go Power! to talk all things solar, batteries, inverters, and converters. Eva broke it all down in a super clear and approachable way—and even identified three distinct RVer profiles and what kind of power systems typically suit each one best.

We also talked about something that should always be at the top of your list: safety. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your current setup or you’re shopping for a new rig with boondocking in mind, this episode is packed with valuable insights you won’t want to miss.

And if you love what Eva had to say (she’s truly a wealth of knowledge), and you'd like a deeper dive into alternative power systems, I want to hear from you!
