The interview about RV Hacks with the Bennets can be found about 38:20 in. Here's an audio plater of the podcast:   RV Hacks interview with the Bennetts Mike interviews Marc and Julie Bennett on their new RV Hacks book. Mike Wendland: I want to welcome to the program two of our longtime friends, Marc and Julie Bennett.  You may know them as RV Love? And they have just released our brand new book RV Hacks and there are over 400 from you guys in this book. It's good to see you. You are in your RV somewhere in Colorado, which is always a good place to be. For the folks who are maybe new to the RV world or they are unfamiliar with RV living,  why don't you give us the thumbnail description? Julie, start with that and tell us how long you've been doing RVing. And Marc tell us a little bit more about RVLove.com. Julie Bennett: We hit the road as full-time RVers back in 2014, sold our home in Colorado, bought a motor home, and explored all 50 states, traveling a while, living, working from the road, and it was amazing to see this country. And we've been sharing as RV love it, in a blog, on YouTube, social media, and written a couple of books now. It's been a wild ride. Mike Wendland: Now, Julie, I know people who may not be familiar with you are going to say, what is that accent? That's not a Southern accent. That's not a British accent. But you're from Australia, and you have an announcement to make about that too. You just recently became a US citizen. Julie Bennett: Surely. I did. Yes, actually in February on the 11th and I've been here, living here since the end of 2008. And yeah. Finally got my citizenship and my little US flag. It was very exciting. The 4th of July felt really different,  I can't explain it, but it did feel good. It’s a bit late in the day but we hope you had a happy 4th! It’s my (Julie’s) first Independence Day as a US citizen and I have to say it really does feel different! Boondocking with friends in Colorado. Hope you had a good one! #july4th #4thjuly #boondocking #rvlife pic.twitter.com/yLpIiMCBv8 — RV Love (@RVLoveTravel) July 6, 2021 Mike Wendland: That is great. And Marc,  tell everybody about the various platforms that you have and how you guys are celebrating and enjoying the RV love lifestyle? Marc Bennett: It started off with just a blog and YouTube for fun, and now it's grown. We also have an official school for RVers. And then we also have the two books. Of course, we're all over social media with Instagram, Facebook, and all that. Julie Bennett: It was a labor of love Mike, and we just love creating educational RV content. Mike Wendland: Let's talk about your book, RV Hacks. It's actually the second book. The first book that you guys had was a best seller and it was called Living the RV Life. That's still available. It's still a great read, but this one is a little bit different? Why don't you talk a little bit about what RV Hacks is all about? Marc Bennett: Sure.  Our first book like you said, was a really big hit and it was living Living the RV Life and talked about the overall lifestyle. In this book, we just thought, there are so many little things over the years that we've learned that make this lifestyle more easy and more fun.
