Today we are talking the expected and unexpected costs of purchasing and owning your own RV. A wonderful and potentially economical way to travel, RV ownership is all about the budget and knowing what you’re getting into before you step onto a lot or into an RV show.
We also discuss tips for surviving family travel days, including that one tip we all do, but no one wants to talk about. Plus, there’s plenty of RV Miles news this week, including the exciting upcoming launch of a new podcast, a website update and more. Plus, Jason and Abby have the winner of last week’s brain teaser and a new one to keep you guessing all weekend.
