It turned into a life-changing journey.In this episode of The RV Podcast, we sit down with the Shinpaugh family, a family of four who hit the road in 2016 thinking they would travel for a few years. Instead, they quietly built a whole new life on wheels, homeschooling their kids, running their businesses remotely, and making the road their normal.They share the real story behind going full-time as a family, including:What surprised them most after their “temporary” RV trip never endedHow they balance work, school, and family life while travelingThe challenges no one talks about, and how those hard moments made them strongerWhat it really takes to build a sustainable life on the road as a familyThen we shift gears and break down what just happened at the Florida RV SuperShow, our 14th time attending the biggest RV show in the country.We cut through the hype and share our two biggest takeaways from the show, including:Why Brinkley RV had the best display at the entire show, and why their low-pressure, owner-driven approach stood outWhy we came away encouraged that real quality still exists in today's RV marketThe motorhomes and towables that impressed us most, including Grand Design's Lineage, lighter-weight Coleman fifth wheels, and the futuristic Lightship and Pebble trailersWe also answer your RV lifestyle questions and catch you up on our latest travels on the road.This episode is packed with inspiration, industry insight, and real-world RV living, whether you're dreaming, planning, or already rolling.Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss our two weekly episodes:Mondays, RV Podcast News EditionWednesdays, Stories from the Road and in-depth interviews

The RV world always has back-channel stories and simmering controversies, and in this News Edition of the RV Podcast, we break down a couple of those stories and why they matter to RVers.In Episode 582, we dig into the growing backlash over the Harvest Hosts takeover of Escapees RV Club, where longtime members say a once-beloved community is being hollowed out in the name of profit. We examine what private equity ownership really means for RV clubs and why this story has struck such a nerve across the RV community.We also take a close look at major shake-ups in RV technician training. The sudden and unexplained departure of the president of the RV Technical Institute has raised serious questions at a time when the industry desperately needs qualified RV service techs. On top of that, we report on the reported sale of the National RV Training Academy in Texas and what it could mean for future RV tech education.There is more confusion at America's national parks as new entrance fees for international visitors are causing delays and long lines at park gates. With staffing shortages already stretching the National Park Service thin, we explain what RV travelers should expect and how to plan ahead.And finally, Marcus Lemonis may be gone from Camping World, but he is still very much in the headlines. An arbitrator has ordered Lemonis to pay more than $14 million in damages tied to his role on the TV show The Profit. We look at what this ruling means and how Camping World may navigate an increasingly competitive RV dealership landscape without him at the helm.This is the RV Podcast News Edition, released every Monday morning with insider news, industry developments, and issues that directly impact RV owners and travelers. Our main podcast, Stories from the Road, drops every Wednesday with interviews, destinations, and listener questions.Now let's dive into this week's news.Harvest Hosts vs. Escapees: A Membership Meltdown StoryIf you want to see what happens when private equity gets its hands on a beloved RV community, look no further than the Harvest Hosts takeover of Escapees RV Club. The internet is on fire with member complaints, and the details are jaw-dropping.Here's what's got everyone fired up: In July 2024, Harvest Hosts acquired the management and operations of Escapees RV Club, including the popular Xscapers subgroup for working-age RVers. What happened next has become a textbook case of how private equity-backed companies can effect beloved community organizations.Full disclosure: we've been an affiliate of Harvest Hosts for many years, and the company used to be, but no longer is, an advertiser on this podcast. We're also an affiliate of RV Overnights, a Harvest Hosts competitor that sponsors our Wednesday podcast.Jen and I really like Harvest Hosts and have used it many times. But this story still needs reporting. Because it illustrates what happens when big money gets involved in startups and independent businesses.First, you need to understand that Harvest Hosts is no longer a small, founder-funded RV startup. It is a private equity-backed platform designed to grow, consolidate, and eventually deliver a strong return to investors. In 2021, it reportedly received about $37 million in growth capital and it has been growing and expanding ever since.One of the most biggest acquisitions wasin 2024, when it bought the Escapees Club, which was a family run club started in 1978 by Joe and Kay Peterson, two full-time RVers who were traveling with their family and wanted a way to stay connected with others living the nomadic lifestyle. It grew and grew, was later turned over to Peterson family relatives who eventually sold Harvest Hosts. There was worry and grumbling from members simmering for a long time but most recently, just before Thanksgiving, it turned in to a dumpster fire. According to reports from members and a detailed timeline compiled by concerned community members, Harvest Hosts terminated the Xscapers convergence director and other Escapees staff just two days before the scheduled Thanksgiving convergence. That's what they called their gatherings - convergences. They told attendees they'd still have a place to park but the event would no longer have a host or the Xscapers brand attached to it. Imagine planning your entire holiday around an event, traveling to the location, and then being told the people running it were just fired.But it gets worse. Harvest Hosts then cancelled several future Xscapers convergences and meetups, seemingly everything except the one annual Bash event, often with little or no notice, according to Facebook group posts. For context, these convergences and gatherings were the main draw to the club for many members. The community-focused events, where working-age RVers could connect with others living the nomadic lifestyle, were what made Xscapers special. Members had planned their entire travel schedules around these gatherings.The pricing controversy adds insult to injury. An email from Harvest Hosts CEO Joel Holland promised "we're not changing the price of an Escapees membership, it's still just $49.95" while simultaneously announcing that Escapees would be folded into a $179 All Access membership bundle. Angry members called this classic bait-and-switch language designed to confuse them about what they're actually getting.When members started speaking out about what was happening, things took an even darker turn. Members report that Harvest Hosts began actively censoring and deleting complaints in the online groups they now control. Long-time community members said they were being banned. According to member accounts, they're even banned members from the public Facebook page simply for voicing their concerns about how the company is handling criticism.The complaints on Trustpilot paint an even darker picture. One review states that Harvest Hosts has "decimated" the community and fired loyal Escapees employees, calling it a "classic Manhattan Private Equity gut job" backed by Stripes, LLC. The review notes that "the only thing harvested here was the goodwill of a 40-year-old club." Stripes was the equity group that handled that private equity investment into Harvest Hosts.Adding fuel to the fire, Harvest Hosts hired Chris Smith as Senior Director of Community & Events, someone who members point out oversaw the worst membership decline in FMCA history during his eight years as Executive Director & CEO there. Members are questioning why leadership with that track record is now running their organization, especially given the mass cancellations and firings that followed his arrival.Long-time Escapees members feel completely betrayed. This wasn't just any RV club. Escapees was founded in 1978 by the Petersons and for over 40 years, it built a reputation as a member-first club where volunteers ran regional chapters and gatherings felt like family reunions. In their acquisition announcement, Harvest Hosts explicitly promised to retain Escapees employees, continue community events including "Xscapers Convergences," support Facebook groups, and be "good and earnest stewards of the Escapees and Xscapers brand." The controversy highlights a growing and troubling trend in the RV industry: venture-capital-backed companies buying beloved community organizations and strip-mining them for profit. Members on online forums say Harvest Hosts has essentially gutted Xscapers and taken away the big thing that made it worth joining. The pattern is clear: cancel the expensive community events that members loved, fire the staff who built relationships with those members, silence anyone who complains about it, and then act surprised when the core community revolts. As members point out, the people Harvest Hosts has made the angriest are precisely the community leaders and engaged members who made Xscapers worth joining in the first place.As one community member put it: "What kind of company cancels a paid Thanksgiving event that has been planned for months, that many people built their holiday plans around and traveled to, with just days' notice? A company that is making poor business decisions for profit and doesn't realize they are destroying the asset they've purchased with their own hands."The situation is being discussed across Reddit, RV forums, and has even found its way into Google's AI overviews. Despite Harvest Hosts' apparent attempts to censor and ban critics, other members are making it clear: they will not be silenced or ignored. The controversy highlights a growing and troubling trend in the RV industry: venture-capital-backed companies buying up everything in sight. Over the past 20 years, private equity firms like Bain Capital, Alliance Holdings, American Industrial Partners, and others have acquired some of the biggest names in RV manufacturing, dealerships, and services - including Heartland, REV Group, Fleetwood, Monaco, Roadtrek, Grand Design, Lazydays RV Center, and yes, Camping World. Investment banking firm Jackim Woods & Co. has tracked more than 65 private equity transactions in the RV sector over the last two decades. The goal is always the same: buy a mid-size company as a "platform investment," then triple or quadruple its size over 5-6 years through acquisitions and cost-cutting. While some of these deals have created jobs and improved operations, the Harvest Hosts takeover of Escapees shows the bumpy road this consolidation wave can create- when community and culture become subservient to profit margins and "operational efficiency."Sources:Community member timeline and documentation: Facebook groups and posts tracking the controversy - https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=excapers%20escapees Member reports of event cancellations and censorship: Facebook group discussions - https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=excapers%20escapeesRVForums.com discussion: https://rvforums.com/threads/harvest-hosts-buys-escapees-rv-club.18663/Trustpilot reviews: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/harvesthosts.comReddit complaints https://www.reddit.com/r/FullTiming/comments/1pnhrr3/escapees_dying_after_harvest_host_purchase/RVBusiness coverage: https://rvbusiness.com/harvest-hosts-takes-lead-mgt-role-in-escapees-rv-club/Harvest Hosts acquisition announcement (July 2024): https://www.harvesthosts.com/blog/harvest-hosts-acquires-escapees-rv-clubHarvest Hosts 2025 changes announcement: https://www.harvesthosts.com/blog/harvest-hosts-unveils-exciting-enhancements-for-2025-expanded-membership-options-and-seamless-access-to-rv-travel-benefitsMystery Surrounds Sudden Exit of RV Training Institute President Curt HemmelerMeanwhile, In Elkhart Indiana, there is a lot of insider talk wondering what happened at the RV Training Institute, a trade group aimed at providing training to RV technicians. After the unexpected and sudden departure of its President, Curt Hemmeler, late last month.In mid-October 2025, RVTA issued a brief statement confirming that Curt Hemmeler was no longer with RVTI, thanking him for his contributions and announcing that Sharonne Lee and Bryan Ritchie would provide interim oversight during the transition. RVB The announcement was characterized as an "unexpected leadership transition."Hemmeler had been with RVTI since December 2018, nearly seven years. He is the first and only president the group has ever had and was very well liked. Under his leadership, RVTI had grown significantly, with more than 23,000 individuals accessing the RVTI Learning Management System and over 7,000 newly certified RV technicians, with annual growth rates of 20-26%No reasons were given for the departure, but it's pretty clear this was NOT voluntary on Hemmeler's behalf. What stands out in this story is the complete lack of explanation. In an industry where Hemmeler had been so visible and clearly successful is unusual and raises questions. One report on RV News said Hemmeler declined to say he resigned and would not comment further, citing advice from his legal counsel. The industry desperately needs more RV techs. Just before the departure announcement, Hemmeler had been actively expanding Spanish-language certification options and developing partnerships with campground associations and colleges.The lack of an explanation on why such a high profile leader was removed and why a shroud of secrecy has enveloped this has spurned all sorts of rumors. And rumors are not good. The RVTA is too important to the industry to handle something like this so bush league.Source:RV News: https://www.rvnews.com/rv-technical-institute-director-leaves/?utm_source=chatgpt.comHas the National RV Traning Academy Texas been sold?On a related matter regarding another place where RV Techs are trained, I'm told by reliable industry sources that The National RV Training Academy Texas has been sold. The school trains RV service technicians and RV Inspectors, as well as RV owners interested in learning how to maintain the various systems of their recreational vehicles.The official announcement has not yet been made but the new owner is said to be Heavy Equipment Colleges, of Las Vegas, which is a similar training facility that concentrates on the construction industry and teaches students how to maintain machinery like bulldozers, cranes, and excavators. It has training across the country in several locations.We've reached out to get official confirmation and details on what all this means to the NRVTA students but have not heard back yet. Our sources say an announcement is expected soon.Sources:https://heavyequipmentcollege.edu/https://nrvta.com/National Park Entrance Delays We're getting reports now about the effect the stiff new entrance fees for non-U.S. residents are having on our national parks. According to the Washington Post, that question is causing longer wait times to enter parks and is leading some foreign tourists to turn away at the gates.Here's what's happening. As of January 1st, international visitors aged 16 and older now pay an extra $100 per person on top of regular entrance fees at 11 of America's most visited parks, including Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, and Zion. The nonresident annual pass also jumped from $80 to $250.To enforce this two-tiered pricing, park rangers must verify residency status and check IDs for every visitor 16 and older. That means asking about citizenship, reviewing documents like passports or driver's licenses, and sometimes dealing with language barriers.The problem? This is happening during a severe staffing crisis. The National Park Service has lost 24 percent of its permanent workforce since January 2025, nearly 4,000 people. With fewer rangers on duty and thousands more visitors needing ID verification, entrance lines are backing up significantly.Tour operators near parks like Yosemite report that many international visitors arrive unaware of the changes, leading to delays and confusion at entrance stations. Some are turning around rather than paying the unexpected surcharges.For RV travelers planning park visits: buy passes online in advance at Recreation.gov, have your government-issued photo ID ready, arrive early, and expect longer wait times at popular parks.Source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2026/01/09/national-parks-immigration-checks/Marcus Lemonis ordered to pay $14 million for damaging business people he supposedly was helpingMarcus Lemonis may no longer be running Camping World - He quit as CEO Jan 1 to become the new CEO if the revitalized Bed, Bath and Beyond, which is trying to rebound from bankruptcy - but his personal style of running things as a celebrity CEO has landed him in some hot water.He was just ordered by an arbitrator to pay more than $14 million to a group of business owners whose companies appeared on the CNBC TV show he hosted called"The Profit,"In fact, of the roughly 100 businesses featured on "The Profit," more than 50 filed lawsuits, engaged in mediation talks, or settled with Lemonis and NBCUniversal over the harm they say they endured.Last week, an arbitrator found that Lemonis violated the terms of a 2021 settlement barring him from making statements that could harm their reputations, according to documents filed in New York state court. The documents were filed as part of a petition to confirm the arbitration award after a 30-day payment deadline lapsed.The business owners said Lemonis ran afoul of the settlement terms when he spoke about them negatively over the span of roughly a year, starting in November 2021.The arbitrator, retired judge Ariel Belen, concluded in a 98 page ruling that Lemonis' "disdain for the respondents, complete disregard to his obligations in the settlement agreement, and apparent lack of concern for the harm suffered by respondents were all put on full display during the arbitration hearing."While he was CEO of Camping World, Camping World significantly expanded its RV dealership footprint to over 200, but the company faced a lot of accusations of aggressive sales tactics, undisclosed fees (like "dealer prep"), high-pressure selling, misleading warranty/service contracts, and issues with quality/repairs, leading to numerous consumer complaints and lawsuits. It will be interesting to see how Camping World, without Lemonis at the helm handles a wave of new competitive pressure these days from a bunch of other aggressive and acquisition-minded RV dealership chains like Blue Compass, General RV and Campers Inn, to name a few.Source: https://www.inc.com/ava-levinson/bed-bath-beyond-ceos-trash-talk-could-cost-him-millions/91285388And that's it for this week's RV Podcast News Edition. Before we go, let me ask you whether you are planning your 2026 RV adventures? If so, I want to invite you to join me for my comprehensive RV Trip Planning Workshop, where in a live, one-hour interactive presentation, I'll walk you through the exact system Jen and I use to create unforgettable travel experiences.

Some people renovate houses. Steve Baron somehow renovates your day. His YouTube channel Flipping Johannesburg has become one of my absolute favourites, and this week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, I get to chat to the man behind it all. Steve left his career as a chartered accountant in 2022 to pursue something more creative and fulfilling: flipping houses. What began as a lockdown passion project has grown into a channel South Africans can't stop watching. “During lockdown I decided to open up to my more creative side… I put together a proper portfolio and made short videos offering advice and tips,” he says. Since then, his videos have exploded... one has passed 3 million views, thanks to a mix of real-life renovation, dry humour, chaos and brilliant design. It's Grand Designs with a proudly Joburg twist. In this episode, Steve and I chat about where it all started, how he manages projects and the unexpected side of YouTube fame: being recognised in public. He also shares some renovation tips and, completely unrelated, we discover what “clapping” and “clocking it” mean to Gen Z. More than DIY, Steve has built a community of dreamers, doers and creators. His story is a reminder that starting something new can change far more than just a home... it can change your whole life. A truly uplifting chat. Enjoy!

“I just want to design, but why is this so hard?” I get it! You love creating beautiful spaces, choosing finishes, and watching your vision come to life — but when it comes to running your design business, you suddenly feel lost. Pricing, contracts, permits, marketing, and systems aren't what you signed up for. You became a designer because you love design, not because you wanted to be an entrepreneur.So many interior designers share that same fear and frustration: I love what I do, but I don't know how to run a business.In this episode, I sit down with award-winning designer and educator Katie Malik, founder of Interior Design Deconstructed, who shares her honest journey from passion-driven creative to confident business owner. Like so many of us, Katie started her design career thinking her talent alone would be enough—until the reality of entrepreneurship hit. Through mentorship, business coaching, and intentional training, she learned how to build a sustainable practice that honors her creativity and her bottom line.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the business side of design, this conversation will remind you that you don't have to figure it out alone. With the right guidance, systems, and support, you can transform your passion into a profitable design business. That's exactly what I help designers do through my Launch Your Business Bootcamp—a step-by-step program designed to walk you through every stage of building a profitable interior design business — one that lets you thrive doing what you love.Featured Guest:Katie Malik is an award-winning interior designer and founder of Interior Design Deconstructed.

John Comerford, Head of Naked West, lifts the lid on how iconic legacy shows like Grand Designs, Escape to the Country and Great British Railway Journeys stay relevant after decades on air - and what it really takes to future-proof long-running television in a digital-first world.From leadership lessons learned across an impressive career, to keeping Kevin McCloud, Michael Portillo and the team behind the cameras creatively energised, John explains how teams protect the core of a heritage brand while still needing to evolve it for new audiences.We dive into why legacy shows don't die because digital grows, the real reasons some formats fade away, how social and spin-offs like Grand Designs Deconstructed are assisting the TV landscape, and the one warning every producer should take seriously: don't enter “the dying rooms” by failing to innovate.If you're making long-running series, pitching new IP, or trying to understand how broadcast and digital work together now, this episode is essential listening.Enjoying the new series?Please share, rate, and subscribe.

In this episode, I open up about the art of trusting life, even when the unknown feels overwhelming. I explore how our bodies are living temples and how breath, sound, and presence can reconnect us to the subtle realms of spirit without needing substances. I reflect on moments of inspiration beyond the veil, the reality of duality, and why those micro-moments of choosing faith over fear shape the way we move through the world.I also share a very human season of dismantling—leaving a relationship, a country, and an academy—and how surrender, prayer, and daily self-holding carried me through. We look at the danger of spiritual bypassing and why authentic tantra starts from the ground up: feeling what's real, integrating it in the body, and only then rising into trust. This is about meeting life honestly and letting wisdom grow from the roots.Along the way, I offer the practices that keep me steady and clear: meditation, emotional release, gratitude, mindset hygiene, and creating spaciousness so spirit can move through. My hope is that you feel invited to remember the grand, organized design we're part of—and to co-create a life that feels aligned, awake, and deeply human.[b]Chapters[/b]0:00 - Tantric Life Lessons for Awakening the Soul2:00 - The Sweetness of Letting Go of Resistance9:21 - Creating Spaciousness for Trust and Surrender

There's lots to get through on today's jam-packed episode. Firstly, Joe and David are starting filming on a new project tomorrow and David's beginning to feel very anxious about it. Meanwhile, Joe was asked a pretty big favour from someone he doesn't really know and is now feeling resentful about it. Then David reveals that over the weekend he met a man at the beach who he really got on with - and was then quickly dumped by him.

In this episode, we talk to Anthony Burke. You might know him as the ubiquitous host of multiple renovation TV shows on the national broadcaster, including Grand Designs Australia, Grand Designs Transformations and Restoration Australia. (He's even got a new one about Asian design, called Culture by Design.) Today, he shifts from sympathising with those in the midst of their own particular building dilemmas to offer more general advice to all of us who contemplate building or renovating what is usually our most valuable and emotional investment: the family home. Among other things, Burke gives us a checklist of dos and don'ts – and things to bear in mind when it comes to our own construction projects.

We left off last time with Singapore being granted sovereignty by Britain on June 3, 1959, and Tunku Abdul Rahman's “Grand Design” speech concerning a merger between Malaysia and Singapore. Lee Kuan Yew took this pro-merger message directly to the people of Singapore. We'll see how Lee deals with the political left by launching Operation Coldstore on February 2, 1963. Once the merger was completed, Singapore and Malaysia gave it their best shot to make it work. Happening concurrently with this sensitive time in Singapore's history, Indonesia's President Sukarno, in May of 1964 spoke out against the merger and began the period known as Konfrontasi or confrontation. We'll see how things weren't fated to succeed as the two leaders envisioned. Both The Tunku and the PAP, despite promises not to get mixed up in each others' politics, fielded their own candidates in each other's election. The heat started to rise and tempers flared, leading to riots in July and September 1964. We'll also see how the March 1965 bombing of MacDonald House also created a frightening atmosphere in Singapore. We close with the debate over privileges enjoyed by indigenous Malays in Article 153 of the Constitution and how it conflicted with Lee Kuan Yew's concept of a Malaysian Malaysia. We'll finish things off with the exit of Singapore from the Federation of Malaysia and its independence on August 9, 1965. We'll close the episode with an excerpt from one of Singapore's founding father S. Rajaratnam's speech before the United Nations. Irene Ng books of S.

Post-WWII Singapore was a time that was loaded with historical events that shaped how matters would unfold throughout the 1950s and into the 1960s. The matter of how to handle the future of Malaya and Singapore begins to be seriously discussed and hotly debated. To showcase what the British and political leaders in Malaya and Singapore were up against, we'll first review the events of the 1950 Maria Hertogh case and the disturbances that followed. In this episode we'll begin to explore the early life of the most consequential leader in Singapore's history and in the greater Southeast Asian scene, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. His early life, including his marriage to Mrs. Kwa Geok Choo, will be introduced. In the early 1950s, Mr. and Mrs. Lee returned from the UK and began their law careers. This led directly to Lee Kuan Yew's involvement in local Singaporean politics and the later founding, in 1954, of the PAP (People's Action Party). The elections of 1948, 1955, and 1959 will also be presented and how the results shaped the future of Singapore politics. Events will unfold that will contribute to Lee Kuan Yew's rise as the leading voice in Singapore's politics and independence. Other major figures from this time will also be introduced such as David Marshall, Lim Yew Hock, Lim Chin Siong, Fong, Swee Suan, and Ong Eng Guan. We'll close with Tunku Abdul Rahman's May 1961 "Grand Design" speech and how this became a game changer as far as how to handle the potential merger of Malaya and Singapore. This will all be introduced next time in Part 8. Thanks to all of you who have kindly supported me by signing up for my Patreon. All ten episodes are already available there.

Post-WWII Singapore was a time that was loaded with historical events that shaped how matters would unfold throughout the 1950s and into the 1960s. The matter of how to handle the future of Malaya and Singapore begins to be seriously discussed and hotly debated.
