Travel inspiration, roadside kindness, entrepreneurial reinvention, and industry innovation all come together in this episode of the RV LIFE Podcast.

Rose and Glynn sit down with Deborah Dennis, a solo RVer who began RVing at 62 with no towing experience while working remotely as a UX designer, and who has since expanded into travel writing, photography, and other creative pursuits on the road. Plus, Bob chats with Jessica Ryder, founder of Pull Through Sites Mobile RV Service and a board member of the RV Women’s Alliance, about the rapid growth of mobile RV repair, technical education programs for women, and the new “Chassis to Classy” project building a custom RV designed and assembled by women.

In RV Entrepreneur, Rose and Glynn sit down with Robyn and Victor Robledo of Nomads With a Purpose for an honest conversation about the identity shift that can hit when you go nomadic and the tools that helped them rebuild from the inside out.

Reservations, Repairs, and Real RV Talk - RV LIFE 153

2/18/2026
From Route 66 Plans To Leak Dealbreakers: Big-Event Travel Strategy, RV Buying Red Flags, Holding Tank Truths, and A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Manufacturing. Planning a trip around America’s 250th anniversary, the Route 66 centennial, or major World Cup events? John DiPietro talks with Woodall’s Campground Magazine editor Ben Quiggle about what’s coming up, why pricing and availability may get wild, and how to plan smarter by booking early, and looking beyond the most obvious campgrounds. Then, Jim and Rene sit down with master certified mobile RV technician Zeb Hahn, for a clear-eyed breakdown of what goes wrong most often in both new and used rigs. They cover repeat problem areas, what to look – and listen – for during a walk-through, the maintenance that prevents expensive damage, and the dealbreakers that should make any buyer walk away. For The RV Entrepreneur segment, Rose and Glynn welcome Ricky Stewart from Unique Camping + Marine for a surprisingly fun and very useful conversation about holding tanks, and the business behind this leading additive manufacturer. Ricky explains why some popular “old school” advice can backfire, what actually causes smells and sensor issues, and why their number one recommendation is simpler than people think: use more water. Bob Zagami wraps the episode with Willie Miller, General Manager at Forest River Plant 410, sharing what it looks like to expand product lines while protecting quality, how manufacturers think about the customer journey, and why follow-through after the sale matters more than the branding on the front cap.

1/7/2026
Take your RV dreams to Europe, get real-world solo travel advice, explore expedition-ready vans, and catch up on key RV industry trends. This week on the RV LIFE Podcast, John talks with Kay and Nick Flint from Fantasy RV Tours about guided RV trips in Europe and Scandinavia.

Then Jim and Rene sit down with solo full-time RVer and travel agent Katy Jones of Unplugged Travel. She shares lessons from years of work camping in national parks, how she rescues clients when trips go sideways, and why having a human “wizard behind the curtain” still beats DIY and AI for winter storage, security, and long-stay getaways in places like Mexico or Costa Rica. Next, Rose & Glynn talk with 27 North founder Pavel Bozovic about premium overland rig builds, from marine-grade components and carbon fiber shells to obsessive attention to weight, crosswinds, and braking distance. Pavel offers a simple RV shopping test—call a brand’s helpline—and a candid take on entrepreneurship: why some people are better off as a great number two. John and Bob close the episode with RV industry news, including RVTI’s push to train the next generation of technicians, KOA’s latest growth and new builds, Italian-built Wingham motorhomes entering the U.S., and Grand Design’s new Omega frame technology.
