Turtlebox Outdoor Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker – $399 For the music lover, the Turtlebox Speaker offers powerful sound quality that’s waterproof, drop-proof, and built to last. With a rugged design and 25-hour battery life, it’s perfect for campfire gatherings or outdoor adventures. Plus, you can pair two speakers for true stereo sound. We have never tested a bluetooth speaker with better sound quality--or anything even close.  Available on Amazon. Devos LightRanger 2000 Telescoping LED Lantern – $249 The LightRanger 2000 provides bright, adjustable lighting with a telescoping stand that extends up to 10 feet. This app-controlled lantern offers three colors and multiple light panels for customized illumination, making it ideal for night activities or a cozy camp atmosphere. The app is easy to use and the multidirectional light means you don't need to blind your neighbors while lighting your own campsite. Available at Devos Outdoor. Big Red Campfire Portable Propane Fire Pit – $230 This smokeless, portable fire pit is a must-have for locations with fire bans. With a unique design where the lid doubles as a base, the Big Red Campfire elevates the fire for added warmth and safety, and a 10-foot hose keeps the propane tank away from seating areas. We used this at Overland East this year where wood burning fires are not allowed--and we used it during a burn ban at Assateague State Park--it was clutch in both situations.  Available on Amazon. Hest Outdoors Foamy Camping Mattress – Starting at $249 The Hest Foamy camping mattress offers plush memory foam comfort with a durable bottom, making it perfect for tents, rooftop setups, or as an extra RV mattress. Available in short, regular, and wide sizes, it’s easy to roll up and store for any camping adventure. The comfort is off the hook and so is the quality. We also love the little pocket for our wallet and cell phone at the top of the mattress. Available on Amazon. Yeti Cast Iron Skillet – Starting at $149 Yeti’s cast iron skillet, available in sizes from 8 to 12 inches, is a pleasure to cook on at home and at the campground over an open fire. This skillet has quickly become a favorite for cooking everything from cornbread to breakfast scrambles. Yeti recently purchased Butter Pat and these skillets are the next evolution of that high-end product. Many Butter Pat fans think this pan is even better than the original because the handle is longer (for campfire cooking) and it is more rounded and comfortable.  Available at Yeti. High Camp Firelight Flask – $129 Elevate your camp drinks with the High Camp Firelight Flask, a 750ml flask that keeps beverages at the perfect temperature. With a magnetic dual-tumbler design and leak-proof seal, it is both stylish and functional for glamping trips or picnics in the great outdoors. These flasks are beautifully designed, highly functional, and super gifty.  Available at High Camp Lodge USA-Made Enamel Cast Iron Dutch Oven – $299 This 6-quart, enameled cast iron Dutch oven from Lodge brings beauty and versatility to any RV kitchen.

    Overland Expo East Review (Camping, Rigs, Gear, and More!)

    Overland Expo East, held in Arrington, Virginia, is more than just a trade show—it's an immersive experience that brings together the best in overlanding culture, vehicles, and gear. Whether you're an experienced overlander or someone looking to get into the hobby, this event offers something for everyone. This year's expo was attended by over 14,500 people from 45 states and countries as far away as Argentina, Denmark, and New Zealand, creating an exciting atmosphere rich with international influence. On this podcast episode, we explore the key highlights from Overland Expo East 2024: the camping experience, standout rigs, and must-have gear. By the end, you may be making your own Overland Expo reservations for 2025.  To listen to this week's episode of The RV Atlas please click on the media player above or subscribe to the RV Atlas wherever you get your favorite podcasts. The Camping Experience at Overland Expo East I attended the event and camped on-site, bringing my rooftop tent setup for a weekend of adventure. General admission camping at Overland Expo East costs $200 and covers camping from Thursday night to Monday morning, with full access to the expo. While the grounds were a muddy mess, thanks to recent heavy rains and the natural bowl shape of the venue, that didn’t dampen spirits. My setup worked well despite the challenging terrain. I used a Thule rooftop tent(https://www.thule.com/en-us/rooftop-tents) and added comforts like a Cabela’s privy tent(https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/cabelas-privacy-shower-shelter) and Camco’s portable travel toilet(https://www.camco.net/portable-toilets), which made camping in the humid conditions more manageable.  One of the benefits of Overland Expo camping is the ability to bring your own gear and truly test it in the elements, a key draw for overlanders. Campfires weren’t allowed, but propane fire pits, like the Big Red Campfire(https://www.campingworld.com/camco-big-red-campfire-propane-outdoor-portable-campfire-58164.html), filled the gap. Next year, I plan to check out the upgraded camping area for better proximity to the vendors and bathrooms—a luxury that may be worth the extra cost, especially after seeing how challenging the conditions were this year.  Notable Rigs at Overland Expo East Overland Expo is known for showcasing a wide array of rigs, from compact teardrop trailers to serious overlanding trucks, and this year’s event didn’t disappoint. Several standout rigs caught my eye, including: - Bean Trailers (Salt Lake City, Utah): These teardrop trailers, made of vibrant fiberglass, stood out for their unique designs and impressive outdoor kitchens. With models like the Bean Squared featuring pop-up roofs, these trailers are both functional and stylish, albeit with a price tag starting around $35,000 to $45,000. - Escapod Teardrops (Utah): Known for their craftsmanship and durable outdoor kitchens, these trailers offered another beautiful option for those seeking a compact, adventure-ready rig. - Taxa Outdoors This company has become a staple in the overland community, with its Cricket and Woolly Bear models providing a lightweight, innovative option for campers. I’ve been a fan of Taxa since their debut at the Florida RV Super Show. - Four Wheel Campers (California) and Scout Campers (Washington): These truck campers attracted a lot of attention, especially for their rugged capabilities and suitability for overlanding. - Palomino Pause: Forest River's overland trailer range was also a highlight, particularly the toy hauler, which had a crowd of admirers thanks to its spacious living areas and off-road readiness.

    RVing in Quebec Part 2 (Quebec City and the Quebec City KOA Holiday)

    This is part two of a two part series about RVing in Quebec with Gretchen Holcombe from Boxy Colonial on the Road. To check out part one about Montreal and the Montreal South KOA Journey please click here. To listen to this episode about Quebec City and the Quebec City KOA Holiday please click on the media player above or subscribe to the RV Atlas wherever you get your favorite shows. Or simply read on right here for Gretchen's guest blog post. Old Québec City very much feels like something out of a fairytale version of an old European city…at least if you can manage to forget about all the tourists around you who are thinking the same thing. At times it can feel a little too perfect--as if you’ve accidentally gone to the World Showcase at Disney’s Epcot instead of to Canada. But there’s a lot of very real history and culture behind the picture perfect surface of Québec City, and our family loved our time here. We stayed at the Quebec City KOA Holiday during our stay here--and it served as a great basecamp for exploring the city. The Quebec City KOA Holiday The Québec City KOA Holiday is just across the St. Lawrence River from Québec City, in the town of Levís. This is a great KOA with a helpful, bilingual staff, easy access from the highway, great proximity to Québec City, and lots of nice amenities to come back to after a day of touring.  The RV sites are mostly full hook-up gravel pull-throughs with pretty good sized yards. There are some patio sites, as well as a range of non-RV options, including rustic camping cabins and deluxe cabins. RV sites range from around $65 CAD up to over $100 CAD for patio sites.  The pool area is awesome, complete with water slides, a hot tub, and a splash pad area. There’s a communal fire pit in this area as well and lots of other indoor and outdoor communal spaces throughout the campground.  There are a lot of different options for getting into the city from the KOA. The campground runs a free shuttle every day, but it does need to be reserved a day in advance. We had planned to drive to the Levís ferry and take the quick ride across the river to the historic district, but we found out the the day we arrived that the ferry workers were striking and the ferry wasn’t running. So we ended up driving into the city every day, and this was actually surprisingly easy. It’s only about a 20 minute drive and traffic was never too bad. Driving and parking in Old Québec looked harrowing, however, so we parked in one of the large paid surface lots along the edge of town, which meant about 15 minutes of hilly walking to get to most of the sites.  Fun Things to Do in Québec City Walking Tour of Old Québec   Old Québec is so compact and walkable, and so rich with stories and history, that we thought a walking tour would be a great way to get our bearings and learn about the city. We went with the 2 hour “Grand Tour” with Tours Voir Québec and were very happy with the company and with our guide, but there are other well-reviewed companies that offer similar tours (some with guides in period costumes!) We really enjoyed getting to hear about the city from the perspective of someone who lives there and to see some hidden spots we wouldn’t have found on our own.  Fortifications of Québec National Historic Site Old Québec became an Unesco World Heritage site in 1985, largely because it’s one of the oldest towns in North America with a mostly intact system of fortified walls surrounding it. This Parks Canada site offers a few different ways to explore the walls and learn more about them. They offer a two hour guided tour that sounds wonderful but isn’t recommended for younger kids, so we opted instead to head to the Artillery Park area so our 11 year old could do the interactive “legend of the talking walls” a...

    RVing in Quebec Part 1 (Montreal and The Montreal South KOA Journey)

    On this week's episode of the RV Atlas podcast we are excited to welcome Gretchen Holcombe from Boxy Colonial on the Road back on the show to talk about her big summer RV trip to Quebec.  Her family stayed at the Montreal South KOA Journey and enjoyed several days in the most European of Canada's great cities. To listen to Jeremy interview Gretchen please click on the media player above or subscribe to the RV Atlas wherever you get your shows. Or read on below for a guest post from Gretchen. People often tout Montreal as “the most European of North American cities,” and indeed a walk along the cobblestone in the older parts of the city can make you feel like you’ve been transported both across the ocean and back in time. But Montreal also feels vibrantly modern and distinctly Canadian, and its location means it’s within easy driving distance for people in much of the US and Canada. Our family spent a few days in Montreal this past summer as part of a longer Canadian road trip, and we all left loving Montreal and wishing we could stay longer. We stayed at the Montreal South KOA Journey and it was a very good basecamp for our Canadian adventure. The Montreal South KOA Journey The Montreal South KOA Journey is 15 miles from the city and bills itself as the closest campground to Montreal. It’s big rig-friendly and easy to access from the highway. As first-time visitors to Quebec (and non-French speakers), we appreciated the friendly and helpful bilingual staff.  The sites are mostly a grid of standard gravel pull-throughs, but there are a good number of trees for shade and decent separation between the sites. Everything at this KOA is beautifully done and well-maintained: the bathrooms are nicely decorated and sparkling clean, there’s a small but lovely pool at the front of the campground, and the huge patio sites are probably the nicest I’ve ever seen. Sites start at around $70CAD for a basic pull-through and go up to over $100 for those patio sites.  The biggest thing to think about with urban RVing, though, is always how to actually get into the city to see the sites. The drive into Montreal from the KOA can be less than 30 minutes, depending on when you go. We did make the drive once, but we found both parking and traffic to be big challenges, so we did most of our travel via Montreal’s excellent public transportation system. There are a few different subway and rail stations within easy striking distance of the KOA; we made the 20 minute drive to the REM Brossard Station and took the new light rail from there into the city. There’s plenty of surface parking at this station, the trains are clean and comfortable, and, as a bonus, you get wonderful views of the St. Lawrence River and Montreal’s skyline as you approach the city.    Fun Things to do in Montreal Notre-Dame Basilica This impressive neo-gothic cathedral in the heart of Old Montreal dates to 1824 and is a must see for first time visitors to the city. It’s open to visitors for self-guided tours during the day and at night becomes a canvas for “the AURA Experience” light and music show. Our attempt to attend the nighttime show was thwarted by a power outage in the area, but we very much enjoyed gawking at the impressive art and architecture by day. The entire area is worth spending time exploring; Old Montreal is the part of the city that feels the most European, with its old buildings and cobblestone streets. It’s always busy, and there’s always something going on; we found public art and live music everywhere we turned.  Pointe-a-calliere Pointe-a-calliere, Montreal’s museum of archaeology and history, might just be the coolest museum I’ve ever been to. It’s built on the site where the city’s first European settlers lived in the 17th Century,

    2024 Hershey RV Show: Trends, Favorite Rigs & Show Highlights

    We are back from the 2024 Hershey RV Show, and we have some trends, favorite RVs, and other show highlights to share! First, we want to say thank you! We appreciated the many people who stopped our table who read the blog, listen to the podcast, or own our books. You are all so great! We love this little community. It was also great to meet so many new people! We also had fun sharing our “Where Should We Camp Next?” books and debuting our RV Atlas Coffee Company! Soon, you'll have a chance to buy your very own bag of one of four special blends (Black Tank Blend, Camp Mojo, Morning Campfire, and Boondocker’s Delight). Check back in early October! To hear more about the Hershey RV show, click play on the media player above--or look for The RV Atlas on your favorite podcast app! 5 Trends from the 2024 Hershey RV Show There is a LOT to see at the Hershey RV Show, and we tried to take it all in! Here are a few trends we noticed from the show: Small, European-style motorhomes are becoming more popular. Of course, we may have noticed more of these because we fell in love with this style of travel on our Iceland trip. Either way, we really liked many of the petite Class Cs we saw at Hershey and the new features and floorplans. Grand Design's new Lineage is a great example of this! We also swoon over Leisure Travel Vans. More manufacturers are doing off-site events in conjunction with the Hershey RV show. Space is tight at Hershey, and some manufacturers either can't get a space or can't get enough space, so why not take the party elsewhere? Some manufacturers offered treats and special deals to lure visitors to their off-site events. If you go in future years, look into these options, especially if you are looking for models, manufacturers, and dealers who won't be at the show. Pop-up, hybrid, and truck campers are not going away. Rumors have long been that these small segments of the RV market will die out, but they simply aren't. They are small but mighty. We saw a lot of variety across these segments! Whether these are for the first timers or someone who wants to camp in something that feels like "camping," these units still have a solid market. Independent custom van builders are on the rise. While there were only a few at Hershey, we've noticed this trend across the U.S. These people take popular Class B van chassis and build them out with custom interiors and amenities. There is a boisterous market for these independent upstarts who are doing really cool things! People love their RVs and love RVing! It was so great to hear from so many people who were truly happy with their rigs. While the industry has faced some complaints about quality, especially in recent years, the majority of people who own RVs love them and keep buying them. Our Top RV Picks from the 2024 Hershey RV Show We saw so many great RVs at Hershey! While there weren't a ton of new things that really stood out as innovative, manufacturers are continuing to improve on the tried and true, while adding awesome new features and designs. Here are just a few of our favorites: Flagstaff Shamrock 233S Each time we step in this three-bed hybrid model, we think, "We should have bought this!" The Flagstaff Shamrock 233S is an older floorplan that never ceases to impress us! It's also available as the Rockwood Roo 233S. It's impossible to find three queen beds in a 25-foot trailer...but that's the magic of a hybrid! The 233S has three flip-out queen beds, giving you an unbelievable amount of sleeping space in a fairly short RV. It feels like a 32-foot model thanks to all of the space! Plus,

    The RV Atlas Q&A: RV Toilet Paper, Smokeless Fire Pits, Roadside Assistance and More!

    Welcome to another Q&A episode of The RV Atlas podcast. With summer winding down and fall camping season on the horizon, we took a deep dive into our RV Atlas Facebook group to answer some of the most engaging questions posed by fellow campers. Whether you're curious about campfire equipment, RV toilet paper, or unique camping destinations, this episode covers it all.  We chat about some of the hottest camping gear—like Yeti’s new cast iron skillets—and discuss whether high-end cookware is worth the investment for your camping setup. We also dive into the age-old debate of Solo Stove vs. Breeo and cover important topics like roadside assistance, paddle boarding at Assateague Island, and campgrounds near airports for those who love watching planes take off. So, pull up a chair and join us around the digital campfire. Should You Buy Yeti's New Cast Iron Skillet? Question: Yeti has a new line of cast iron skillets priced between $150-$250. Would you buy one for your camp cooking setup, or is it not even an option at that price point? Answer: When Yeti released their new line of cast iron skillets, the RV Atlas Facebook group had mixed reactions. While Yeti is known for its high-end outdoor gear, the consensus in our community was that the price point is steep, especially when beloved and reliable brands like Lodge offer durable cast iron for a fraction of the cost. Many group members, joked about the burdens of maintaining multiple cast iron pans. Ultimately, the general sentiment was that while Yeti’s skillets might be beautiful, most campers would rather stick with more affordable and equally functional options. Takeaway: If you’re passionate about quality and have the budget, Yeti’s skillet could be a fun addition to your gear. But for most, sticking with a trusted and less expensive brand like Lodge seems to be the way to go. Solo Stove vs. Brio: Which is Better? Question: Which is better for campfires and cooking, Solo Stove or Breeo? Answer: Both the Solo Stove and Breeo have become popular choices for campers, and after using both extensively, we can confidently say that each has its strengths. The Solo Stove, which is made overseas, is lighter, heats up faster, and becomes smokeless more quickly—perfect for those who want an easy-to-transport option. On the other hand, Breeo, which is made in Lancaster, PA, is built like a tank. It's heavier and takes longer to heat up, but it's an incredibly durable choice for those who want a more permanent setup at home. If you’re planning on bringing your fire pit on camping trips, the Solo Stove might be the better option due to its portability. Takeaway: Solo Stove is ideal for portability and quick heating, while Breeo offers more durability and a robust build for those who prefer a sturdy option for home use. Can You Go Paddle boarding at Assateague? Question: Can you paddle board at Assateague Island? Answer: Assateague Island in Maryland is a popular camping destination known for its wild ponies and beautiful beaches. Paddle boarding is absolutely an option, but you’ll want to head to the national seashore’s bayside area for the best experience. While the state park offers stunning beachfront camping, the ocean tides can be unpredictable, making it less ideal for paddle boarding. The bayside, on the other hand, offers calm waters perfect for paddling, and there are even concessions for renting equipment if you don’t have your own. Takeaway: Yes, you can paddle board at Assateague, but the bayside of the national seashore is the safer and more convenient option. Do You Really Need RV-Specific Toilet Paper? Question: Do I need RV-specific toilet paper, or can I use regular septic-friendly toilet paper in my 2009 RV? Answer: Ah, the great toilet paper debate! While many experienced RVers will tell you that septic-friendly...
