So, listen to the banter and see where you fall in the debate of how necessary or not RVs have become as of late!

Everybody knows you go camping or RVing to get away from it all. You go to relax and reset, etc, and yadda yadda. No... not always. Clint's wife, Laura, jumps in to co-host this episode while PJ and Lindsay are out, and we talk about the joys and benefits of camping... the one's that aren't restful.

RVing at Music Festivals

RV Ambassadors Share Their Lifestyles

Trailer sway may be one of the greatest fears of trailer owners, or maybe more accurately the one's driving, and we get it! Let's explore some things to be aware of when trailer sway rears it's confident breaking or equipment blaming response. We get low down on the center waggles, dips, so when the trailer dips we dip with it. Is it the wind, a truck passing, or a more serious issue to pull over and check? Or does the speedometer need a gas pedal reduction? Hang on and enjoy the ride with PJ, Lindsay and Clint as they round the corners with caution and avoid the roadside hamburger stops along without porpoising! 

The Fear of Trailer Sway and How to Beat It
