I have my 50th birthday coming up in 2025 and I am currently planning a full 12 month road trip of the USA and Canada for that 50th year of my life, and I must say your recommendations and suggestions have proven to be most valuable. The RV Trip app for planning the trip has been absolutely invaluable, so I want to thank you for a well researched, straight to the point video, and I will recommend this video to any of my fellow Australian travelers who are planning a similar trip to your lovely nations.

Only 2 minutes in and I hit the LIKE button! I have also subscribed after watching a few of your videos. A family member has offered to rent me their beautiful Mercedes Thor Sprinter for 2 months (REALLY cheap), and the dog and I are going to head out in December from Minnesota. This is all new to me and I'm as nervous as a long-tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs! This video has given me a great head start...I am super grateful! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Congratulations and thank you for the kind words! We are so grateful to be able to help people feel more confident in the RVing abilities. We truly appreciate your support.
Another good information packed video. They have helped us to decide which new TT we were going to buy and help avoid the pitfalls of new RV ownership. We will be use one of these recommended sites along with a few other freebies that are available like Campendium and RV Parky. Have you done a video on safe routings? As a former trucker I have seen accidents that could have been avoided if ppl had checked thier routes to avoid low clearances on the route that they had chosen. Thanks again and Happy New Year.
Thank you so much for the kind words. We love being able to help RV beginners feel more confident with their camping and RVing experience. We use RV Trip Wizard by RV Life and love it.

Great video. Really appreciate your honest reviews of all the memberships and apps. All have great value but you openly share the other side of the coin that may turn some people off. "May not be suitable for all campers" based on their needs. So helpful. I just subscribed. Gonna check out your other content. Thank you!
Thank you both for the video... Question on the gps on RV trip wizard, the Time is so much more than google maps, even when you turn off different preferences... Is that the case that you have found as well... Would love to use it, and travel safely on that route, but is it worth the extra time, ( gas ) then the google maps Thanks for sharing
That's a great question! That is definitely the case with us too. Sometimes we will actually use Waze at the same time (on my phone) as a comparison of time, route and alerts (like red light cameras and police 😉). Trip Wizard tends to be more accurate on time than Waze because we are usually traveling slower than a typical car. So I'm not sure if it's actually taking longer, or if due to speed and avoiding obstacles, I'm just slower. Try using both next time and see what your experience is. Thanks Richard!
Just got a new subscriber love that way you described everything I will retire in year and half can not wait to go an travel with my wife she is retired already and waiting for me great travels

How do you do a RV membership video without talking about the biggest one of all ; Thousand Trails? There is a lot to love and hate about this one but if you full time or even camp frequently this can save more money than any other. It allows stays up to 28 days at a time and usually has full hookups. The memberships are expensive, complicated and hard to learn but can be worth it.
Because, at that time, we didn't have the Thousand Trails membership and we do not endorse products that we do not use. Fast forward to today and we are now members of TT and we just made a new Memberships video where it was included. ua-cam.com/video/0HVfcIS-BA4/v-deo.html Thank you for watching our memberships video and commenting.
We're looking forward to starting our own adventure in about a year and find your videos among the most helpful of all the research I'm doing. The biggest question I have now is how to make sure that my husband will be able to continue some online teaching once we hit the road. You may even address that on your website & I have a year to figure it out. In the meantime, Mike & Susan, keep up the great job. And thanks from Mike and Madelyn.

There is not an expected amount to spend. It's more of a courtesy to buy something since they allow you to stay free on property. Thanks for watching and commenting Carl.
Hi Mike Susan, I’m new to Rving and just saw your video. Have a question is there an ap that will tell me where to get Wi-Fi along a trip need it I’m working from the road. Tks really find your videos exceptional.

Another very informative video! I did have a question.. We are picking up our 23' Class C next Wednesday. If we pull into a truck stop, should we park (to sleep) at the trucking area or where the cars park ? Again, its only 23'... but dont want to get a knock on our door telling us we have to move.. AND i dont want any truckers upset with us too. : )
Hi Jon, Just walk in and ask them where they want you to park..and introduce yourself and ask them to keep an eye on you overnight! Then you should be good to go! Thanks again for watching and commenting! Mike and Susan
Suggestions on selling a camper that you owe on? We made the error of purchasing while we still had a suv, and now that we’re camping nearly every day we can - we’d love a bit more space.
Hi Carrie Anne, I would sell it on RVTrader and also list it on Facebook Marketplace. Taking great pictures is the key! Find someone with a wide angle lens on their iphone 12 or camera and take the pics in landscape. Hopefully you can sell it for more than you owe. Under normal circumstances you will never be able to sell a camper for more than you bought it for but in todays market prices are at record levels so maybe you can. Best of luck!

hey, great video. do you know anything about 'the happy camper club'? If so, how does it compare to Passport America. They advertise 50% off at over 1000 RV locations. I am wondering if there is crossover from Passport America, or if this is totally unique, and if the program is a good deal. Thanks in advance!

Have you considered doing an instruction video for making campground reservations considering how difficult people have said it can be to book months in advance? So much is dependent on computer, can you just call anymore? I will be starting out within a year.
We haven't thought about making that type of video. We have encountered some that still require phone reservations though. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi MGW, There is no Trip Wizard App. You want to find the RV Life App. Just use the same user name and password you used when you signed up for RV Trip Wizard. RV Life owns RV Trip Wizard. When you go to the RV Friendly GPS in the RV Life app you can click the RV Trip Wizard tab and all of your trips you created in Trip Wizard will all be there. It a little confusing but it all works great! Let me know if you have any more questions! Thanks for watching our video! Mike
Hi Gino, RV Trip Wizard is totally different. Here's the link to trip Wizard and you can save 25% AND get the RV Life app for free too!

We like KOA sites but they are expensive. We usually only camp there when we have the grandkids with us because there is plenty for them to do. Hope that helps! Mike
I understand. I think it's encouraged but not expected. But I will say I'm willing to make a small purchase as gratitude for letting us stay on their property and sometimes it's a pretty decent view.
Consider it a small price for an experience. I've got some awesome stuff from HH stays. Stayed at quail run ranch in CA and got some ostrich oil hand cream. Stayed at a farm and got fresh sausage. Stayed at a winery and had an awesome dinner while my kids got to play with the owners kids. It's always been great.
Passport America is not what I thought it would be. Since I joined I’ve only been able to use it at one of the campgrounds out of all the participating that I contacted. All others didn’t honor the membership because they have black out dates. One in Florida told me they don’t have to give any discounts because of the time of year I wanted to go. Same with another in North Carolina. The one that I did get a discount now no longer honors Passport America. This campground was the reason I joined because it was where we like to camp. I won't be renewing my subscription.
Hi Ralph, I'm sorry you had such a poor experience with the campgrounds you tried to book with. We tried our best to make it very clear in the video that most discounts are offered Sunday through Thursday nights and that there are black out dates in the notes section for each campground on the Passport America website. All that being said many campgrounds have changed their policies, raised their rates and have more high season or black out dates because more people than ever before are camping and the campgrounds loose money when they give discounts because they will rent the site with or without the discount. We camp 7 days a week so Passport America saves us a lot of money each year but the app definitely is not for everyone. We really appreciate you watching our video and we appreciate your feedback because another viewer may see your comment and our response and learn from the exchange. Thanks so much, Mike
Hey Matt Thousand Trails is more for full timers. These ones we recommend for "weekend warriors". :) Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤ Mike and Susan BTW, let us know what you think of RV Camping Magazine, our free digital and video magazine! rvblogger.com/rv-camping-magazine/
Though it isn't "free" it is certainly less expensive than many campgrounds. I look at it as it's pretty than Walmart and I'm helping a local business. Thank you for watching our Camping Memberships video and commenting.

Hey Mike looking down your shorts on the blog intro is 👎☹️🥴 You need to reshoot that.
Helpful video though, thanks.
We can't reshoot and edit a video once it's on UA-cam but we did make an updated video about our favorite camping memberships ua-cam.com/video/0HVfcIS-BA4/v-deo.html Thank you for your support!
Thanks for all the awesome information! My husband and I are planning to buy a travel trailer next year and this video is very helpful. Thanks guys.

Another very informative video! I did have a question.. We are picking up our 23' Class C next Wednesday. If we pull into a truck stop, should we park (to sleep) at the trucking area or where the cars park ? Again, its only 23'... but dont want to get a knock on our door telling us we have to move.. AND i dont want any truckers upset with us too. : )
Hi Jon,
Just walk in and ask them where they want you to park..and introduce yourself and ask them to keep an eye on you overnight! Then you should be good to go!
Thanks again for watching and commenting!

Suggestions on selling a camper that you owe on? We made the error of purchasing while we still had a suv, and now that we’re camping nearly every day we can - we’d love a bit more space.
Hi Carrie Anne,
I would sell it on RVTrader and also list it on Facebook Marketplace. Taking great pictures is the key! Find someone with a wide angle lens on their iphone 12 or camera and take the pics in landscape. Hopefully you can sell it for more than you owe. Under normal circumstances you will never be able to sell a camper for more than you bought it for but in todays market prices are at record levels so maybe you can. Best of luck!

The dirt free trial with your link is 30 not 90 days. FYI.
True! It was 90 days at the time of making this video. Sorry and thank you for bringing this to our attention. Thank you for watching our RV Memberships video and commenting!
hey, great video. do you know anything about 'the happy camper club'? If so, how does it compare to Passport America. They advertise 50% off at over 1000 RV locations. I am wondering if there is crossover from Passport America, or if this is totally unique, and if the program is a good deal. Thanks in advance!
Hi MM,
WE have not tried that membership...never even heard of it to be honest.

Have you considered doing an instruction video for making campground reservations considering how difficult people have said it can be to book months in advance?
So much is dependent on computer, can you just call anymore? I will be starting out within a year.
We haven't thought about making that type of video. We have encountered some that still require phone reservations though. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks. I’m new too!

Where do I find the RV Trip Wizard App? I didn’t find it at the Play Store. Did it change it’s name?
Hi MGW,
There is no Trip Wizard App. You want to find the RV Life App. Just use the same user name and password you used when you signed up for RV Trip Wizard. RV Life owns RV Trip Wizard. When you go to the RV Friendly GPS in the RV Life app you can click the RV Trip Wizard tab and all of your trips you created in Trip Wizard will all be there.
It a little confusing but it all works great!
Let me know if you have any more questions!
Thanks for watching our video!

Hi Gino,
RV Trip Wizard is totally different.
Here's the link to trip Wizard and you can save 25% AND get the RV Life app for free too! Just use the same exact user name and password you use to subscribe to trip wizard when you download the RVLife app to your phone! Use discount code RVBLOGGER25(all caps)

What is your opinion of KOA sites??
We like KOA sites but they are expensive. We usually only camp there when we have the grandkids with us because there is plenty for them to do.
Hope that helps!
Mike
Not sure I think of Harvest host as free camping when they expect you to spend $20 there when you stay.
I understand. I think it's encouraged but not expected. But I will say I'm willing to make a small purchase as gratitude for letting us stay on their property and sometimes it's a pretty decent view.
Consider it a small price for an experience. I've got some awesome stuff from HH stays. Stayed at quail run ranch in CA and got some ostrich oil hand cream. Stayed at a farm and got fresh sausage. Stayed at a winery and had an awesome dinner while my kids got to play with the owners kids. It's always been great.
I love the way you look at her 💘 true love
Hey Peaches on Everything,
Thank you for noticing
Passport America is not what I thought it would be. Since I joined I’ve only been able to use it at one of the campgrounds out of all the participating that I contacted. All others didn’t honor the membership because they have black out dates. One in Florida told me they don’t have to give any discounts because of the time of year I wanted to go. Same with another in North Carolina. The one that I did get a discount now no longer honors Passport America. This campground was the reason I joined because it was where we like to camp. I won't be renewing my subscription.
Hi Ralph,
I'm sorry you had such a poor experience with the campgrounds you tried to book with. We tried our best to make it very clear in the video that most discounts are offered Sunday through Thursday nights and that there are black out dates in the notes section for each campground on the Passport America website.
All that being said many campgrounds have changed their policies, raised their rates and have more high season or black out dates because more people than ever before are camping and the campgrounds loose money when they give discounts because they will rent the site with or without the discount.
We camp 7 days a week so Passport America saves us a lot of money each year but the app definitely is not for everyone.
We really appreciate you watching our video and we appreciate your feedback because another viewer may see your comment and our response and learn from the exchange.
Thanks so much,
Mike
why not Thousand Trails?

Thousand Trails is more for full timers. These ones we recommend for "weekend warriors". :)

Harvest Hosts is hardly free! Along with the membership and tip it can be expensive.
Though it isn't "free" it is certainly less expensive than many campgrounds. I look at it as it's pretty than Walmart and I'm helping a local business. Thank you for watching our Camping Memberships video and commenting.
@@RVBlogger I just found your channel and subscribed. The camping memberships video gave me some very useful information. Normally I just camp locally with only a couple out of state trips a year. I can only afford one trip planning membership, what should I choose?
I SEE A CLASS ACTION SUIT WITH THEM SELLING PROGRAM THAT YOU CAN BOOK UP TO 6 MONTHS IN ADVANCE. FOR MORE MONEY
