    #245 - The RV Park 10-Year Rule: Should You Really Be Worried?

    You find an RV park you’d love to visit—and then notice its 10-year age rule. Does that mean your older RV won’t be welcome? My wife and I faced that same question during five years of full-time RV travel across the country.  In this video, I’ll share our experiences and put those published age policies into perspective.  So if you own an older RV—or are thinking about buying one—this is a subject worth understanding before making your plans.

    #244 - You Love That RV Floor Plan… But Will You Regret Buying It?

    That RV floor plan looks perfect on the dealer’s lot. But will you feel the same way after a few travel days, rainy afternoons, and ordinary mornings living in it? In this video, I’m sharing an RV inspector’s perspective on choosing a layout you’ll enjoy after the excitement of buying wears off.  So before you fall in love with your next RV, let’s talk about what that first walkthrough might not tell you. 🟢 GET MY RV BUYING GUIDE FOR USED RVs - "How To Avoid Buying An RV Money Pit" AT THIS LINK - https://payhip.com/b/cPLl 🟢 GET MY RV BUYING GUIDE FOR NEW RVs - "How To Buy And Inspect A New RV The Right Way" AT THIS LINK - https://payhip.com/b/OZrEw 🟢 GET MY GUIDEBOOK ON BUYING  NEW TRAVEL TRAILERS - https://payhip.com/b/HY0Wr 🟢 GET MY GUIDEBOOK ON BUYING  USED TRAVEL TRAILERS - https://payhip.com/b/HFc4P 🟢 GET MY NEW CLASS A BUYING GUIDE HERE - https://payhip.com/b/pSyQG 🟢 GET MY USED CLASS A BUYING GUIDE HERE - https://payhip.com/b/a2FUy 🟢 GET MY GUIDEBOOK ON THE BEST FIFTH WHEELS AND TOY HAULERS TO BUY NOW  at this link - bit.ly/3xMwfdE 🟢 GET MY NEW CLASS C AND SUPER C BUYING GUIDE HERE -  https://payhip.com/b/WCwf7 🟢 GET MY USED CLASS C AND SUPER C BUYING GUIDE HERE - https://payhip.com/b/2hzk3 🟢 GET MY "BEST MOTORHOMES TO BUY NOW" GUIDEBOOK HERE - https://bit.ly/3Lr5Qpn  🟢 GET MY GUIDEBOOK ON BUYING CLASS B AND B PLUS RVs - https://payhip.com/b/NvF4p 🟢 SUBSCRIBE TO MY PODCAST - https://rvinspectionandcare.buzzsprout.com/ 🟢 JOIN MY FACEBOOK RV GROUP "RV LIFE, TIPS AND REVIEWS" - https://www.facebook.com/groups/rvlifetipsandreviews 🟢 FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA -  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/rvinspectionandcare/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rv_inspection_and_care Send us Fan Mail Support the show 🔹 This podcast is made for entertainment purposes only.

    #242 - How Much RV Can You REALLY Afford?

    How much RV can you really afford? The answer may be very different from the amount a lender approves—or the monthly payment an RV dealer advertises. Before choosing your next RV, learn why one seemingly affordable decision could leave you spending far more than expected.  Listen to this podcast before deciding how much RV fits your budget. 🟢 GET MY RV BUYING GUIDE FOR USED RVs - "How To Avoid Buying An RV Money Pit" AT THIS LINK - https://payhip.com/b/cPLl 🟢 GET MY RV BUYING GUIDE FOR NEW RVs - "How To Buy And Inspect A New RV The Right Way" AT THIS LINK - https://payhip.com/b/OZrEw 🟢 GET MY GUIDEBOOK ON BUYING  NEW TRAVEL TRAILERS - https://payhip.com/b/HY0Wr 🟢 GET MY GUIDEBOOK ON BUYING  USED TRAVEL TRAILERS - https://payhip.com/b/HFc4P 🟢 GET MY NEW CLASS A BUYING GUIDE HERE - https://payhip.com/b/pSyQG 🟢 GET MY USED CLASS A BUYING GUIDE HERE - https://payhip.com/b/a2FUy 🟢 GET MY GUIDEBOOK ON THE BEST FIFTH WHEELS AND TOY HAULERS TO BUY NOW  at this link - bit.ly/3xMwfdE 🟢 GET MY NEW CLASS C AND SUPER C BUYING GUIDE HERE -  https://payhip.com/b/WCwf7 🟢 GET MY USED CLASS C AND SUPER C BUYING GUIDE HERE - https://payhip.com/b/2hzk3 🟢 GET MY "BEST MOTORHOMES TO BUY NOW" GUIDEBOOK HERE - https://bit.ly/3Lr5Qpn  🟢 GET MY GUIDEBOOK ON BUYING CLASS B AND B PLUS RVs - https://payhip.com/b/NvF4p 🟢 SUBSCRIBE TO MY PODCAST - https://rvinspectionandcare.buzzsprout.com/ 🟢 JOIN MY FACEBOOK RV GROUP "RV LIFE, TIPS AND REVIEWS" - https://www.facebook.com/groups/rvlifetipsandreviews 🟢 FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA -  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/rvinspectionandcare/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rv_inspection_and_care Send us Fan Mail Support the show 🔹 This podcast is made for entertainment purposes only.

    #241 - 6 Lies RV Buyers Are Told Before They Purchase Their RV

    Some of the most reassuring things RV buyers are told are also among the most misleading. A few come from salespeople during the buying process. Others are repeated so often by RV owners online that almost no one stops to question them. In this podcast, I expose six common claims that can lead buyers toward the wrong RV, an unsafe towing combination, or a very expensive financial mistake.  🟢 GET MY RV BUYING GUIDE FOR USED RVs - "How To Avoid Buying An RV Money Pit" AT THIS LINK - https://payhip.com/b/cPLl 🟢 GET MY RV BUYING GUIDE FOR NEW RVs - "How To Buy And Inspect A New RV The Right Way" AT THIS LINK - https://payhip.com/b/OZrEw 🟢 GET MY GUIDEBOOK ON BUYING  NEW TRAVEL TRAILERS - https://payhip.com/b/HY0Wr 🟢 GET MY GUIDEBOOK ON BUYING  USED TRAVEL TRAILERS - https://payhip.com/b/HFc4P 🟢 GET MY NEW CLASS A BUYING GUIDE HERE - https://payhip.com/b/pSyQG 🟢 GET MY USED CLASS A BUYING GUIDE HERE - https://payhip.com/b/a2FUy 🟢 GET MY GUIDEBOOK ON THE BEST FIFTH WHEELS AND TOY HAULERS TO BUY NOW  at this link - bit.ly/3xMwfdE 🟢 GET MY GUIDEBOOK ON BUYING  USED FIFTH WHEELS - https://payhip.com/b/HFc4P 🟢 GET MY NEW CLASS C AND SUPER C BUYING GUIDE HERE -  https://payhip.com/b/WCwf7 🟢 GET MY USED CLASS C AND SUPER C BUYING GUIDE HERE - https://payhip.com/b/2hzk3 🟢 GET MY "BEST MOTORHOMES TO BUY NOW" GUIDEBOOK HERE - https://bit.ly/3Lr5Qpn  🟢 GET MY GUIDEBOOK ON BUYING CLASS B AND B PLUS RVs - https://payhip.com/b/NvF4p 🟢 SUBSCRIBE TO MY PODCAST - https://rvinspectionandcare.buzzsprout.com/ 🟢 JOIN MY FACEBOOK RV GROUP "RV LIFE, TIPS AND REVIEWS" - https://www.facebook.com/groups/rvlifetipsandreviews 🟢 FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA -  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/rvinspectionandcare/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rv_inspection_and_care Send us Fan Mail Support the show 🔹 This podcast is made for entertainment purposes only.

    #240 - What Every RV Owner Needs to Do Right Now

    There is something every RV owner should do now—but many will not think about it until they suddenly need it.
