https://link.roadsurfer.com/roamies Get 10% OFF your rental too!Code: ROAMIES10We’re recording this one from our “home” parked in a New Mexico campground, because we finally did it: real RV life. After years of hotels, Airbnbs, cabins, and everything in between, we took a twist on our “Roam to Home” season and went full “roam in home” with a Roadsurfer RV rental, bringing our two cats along for the ride.We talk through what the Roadsurfer camper van and RV rental experience actually feels like, starting with the practical stuff that makes or breaks a first trip: the check-in walkthrough, the online tutorials, and the little learning curves nobody tells you about until you’re staring at a switch and wondering what tank it controls. We also share why the flexibility is the real luxury, from changing plans mid-trip to skipping the nightly hotel scramble because your bed, bathroom, and kitchen travel with you.Then we get into our favorite RV travel tips so far: securing everything before you drive (because if it can move, it will move), adjusting to different visibility and a camera-based rearview setup, planning for wider turns and parking, and managing gas mileage, especially when the wind is doing the most. We also talk add-ons that help you pack lighter, plus why RV travel with pets feels calmer than a hotel, even with cats.If you’ve been waiting for a sign to try RV travel, this might be it.
