We’re in Elkhart this week hosting a rally we called the Elkhart Encounter and are camping right on the grounds of the RV/MH Hall of Fame museum. Our group of about 150 are touring the museum, attending RV maintenance seminars, enjoying food trucks, pot luck dinners, a catered meal, private tours of the production lines of our main sponsor, Keystone RV, and an RV driving school taught by Cortney Armstrong, aka the Flipping Nomad. We decided to do this Episode 405 of the RV spodcast from the Hall of Fame and to interview Darryl Searer, the president of the Hall of Fame.

That's what we discuss in detail in Episode 404 of the RV Podcast, sharing our suggestions and those from the RV community at large.

Ever wondered what it is like going from a motorhome to a fifth wheel? We have been experiencing just that for the past five weeks and we're ready to share all, what surprised us, what we like, and what we don't like. For the past 10 years, Jennifer and I have been traveling exclusively in motorhomes - Class B campervans, Class B+ big campervans, and Class C small motorhomes. But in early May, we bought a 32 1/2 foot Arcadia Fifth Wheel and have now put about 1,000 miles on it, camping across four states. We talk about that experience and answer your RV Lifestyle questions and share some tips in this week's Episode #399 of the Podcast.
