• Influencing Influencers  March 23, 2026 We have watched many YouTube channels in the category of RV living and travel over the past 5 years or more. The ones we started watching are not the ones we still watch. Not because we don't like them anymore, but because our interests and needs changed. At first we were learning about this lifestyle and how and why people do it. When we decided to take the plunge, we started watching more instructional videos on downsizing, choosing our rig, maintenance, and campground reviews. After we hit the road we started watching for more tips and for solidarity! That led to subscribing to our favorites and following them more closely. So here is a list of our most watched YouTube Channels (in alphabetical order so no feelings are hurt), ending with our current favorites.
• Make a LIST and check it twice  February 2, 2026 Whether you are taking a weekend camping trip, an annual vacation, or living the RV life full time, you will benefit from a list. Or two. Or three. I can't IMAGINE not having lists in my life. I have had to-do lists for as long as I can remember. I have had homework assignment lists, chore lists, shopping lists, wish lists, Christmas card lists, and so many more.
• Winter Storm 2026  January 24, 2026 It's day one of Winter Storm Fern (Jan. 24, 2026). I was prepared ahead of time, so we, of course, started eating our stash of Snow Day food early. Bought sugar cereal for the husband and now the milk is nearly gone. (We had been eating pretty healthy for the last month. Oh well.) So far it's only super cold temps (for Maryland, that's single digits overnight and teens during the day). Not a snowflake in sight. But for some reason I only crave pizza, cookies and chocolate...and coffee. Please tell me someone else relates!
• BEAUTY  January 11, 2026 I grew up in Pennsylvania and New York state. There is a LOT of beauty in the mountains, hills, farmlands, lakes, and in the snow that covers them in winter. I traveled some, and lived in a couple other states in my adult life, and found equal beauty in those places. But I wanted to see more. I wanted to see even bigger mountains, and deserts and plains and wildlife that I’d only seen before in books.
• EXPECTATIONS  January 4, 2026 We all have basic expectations in life. We expect to get wet if it rains. We expect to get paid for our work. We expect stores to be open according to their advertised hours. These are all reasonable.
