www.atravelpath.com https://delicioats.com/discount/PATH Use Code PATH   We have an excellent show in store with Jeremy Puglisi from The RV Atlas. In this show, we break down ALL things RV. The RV Atlas is a website, blog, and is celebrating 10 years of their highly renowned podcast with the same name. They have been camping for over a decade and The RV Atlas podcast keeps listeners informed of campground reviews and current trends in the RV space. The RV Atlas has also written several best-selling books and tune into Travel Tips where we discuss their latest release. In this episode you'll learn all about:  Camping with Kids When should you start? How young is too young? How is it possible to plan trips as a family when everyone's schedules are so busy? If you are travel seeking parent, you have probably had these thoughts. The RV Atlas shares how they had similar feelings many years ago when the birth of their twins pumped the brakes on their passion for travel. They saw an ad for RVing, and the rest is history. RVing provided them with an outlet where they could escape with their children at a very young age, and they continue this today while their kids are in high school. Buying an RV When you buy an RV, do you know exactly what you are getting? After you sign that stack of papers at the RV dealership, your monthly payment can add up very quickly. We actually pulled up our RV purchase contract to reflect on everything else we paid for: ·        State Sales Tax ·        DMV Fees ·        Documentation Fee ·        Vehicle Service Contract (Warranty) ·        Paint/Fabric Protection ·        Roadside Assistance ·        GAP Insurance ·        Tire/Road Hazard Gee, that sounds like it could be a blog post of it's own! (Stay tuned) On top of that, if you are financing, the majority of your payment DOES NOT go towards principle. That means you could be making expensive monthly payments without seeing your balance being reduced by much. On top of that, RVs are a depreciating asset, so you can very quickly be underwater. Buying vs Renting Your RV Gear Like I mentioned, The RV Atlas has been doing this for many years. One of their favorite camping hobbies is kayaking or paddleboarding, yet they don't bring these items with them. They have found that they are big, clunky, and a hassle to move. If the stumble across an area that is ideal for these activities, there usually are rental places available. Experience > Features The RV Atlas made it clear that they got into the RV life to make memories and share experiences. RVs continue to get newer, bigger, smarter, and most would call better. The RV Atlas shares a good point that when you RVing, you are going with the idea to spend time OUTSIDE. All the bells and whistles are cool, but the novelty wears off fast and soon you are stuck with all these gadgets that you paid extra for and don't use. Plus, people like to fidget with things. The more you fidget, the more likely it is for something to go wrong. And More!

On this episode we're sharing a bonus clip of our interview with Stephanie and Jeremy Puglisi of The RV Atlas. We're discussing the ins and outs of buying or renting your first RV.

New parents Stephanie and Jeremy Puglisi worried their days of traveling were over―with full-time jobs and infant twins, taking time off to go exploring hardly seemed possible. But they missed the way that travel brought them closer together and knew it would help them grow as a family.  So, they bought a pop-up camper and embarked on the adventure of a lifetime. The campground was their vacation destination, and Stephanie and Jeremy became experts at creating lasting family memories without breaking the bank.  Whether you’re new to camping or a seasoned pro, today’s guests Stephanie and Jeremy are going to teach you the different ways that camping can lead to a happier, healthier family.  From trip planning tips, to navigating RV dealerships and even exploring in this new time of social distancing―these campers are going to cover it all.  Their book See You at the Campground is packed with personal anecdotes, packing lists, site recommendations, and recipes that will foster a love of the outdoors, and today we’re going to get the low down on all of it. By the end of this class you’ll understand the benefits of camping, have a guide to growing closer as a family and tips for packing and set-up―whether it’s in a cabin, tent, or RV.  Class is in session! What are some different types of campgrounds? Private Camp Grounds- Amenities, hotel type experience, more expensive, perhaps a little farther from the “destination”. Public Camp Grounds- More rustic, less amenities, beautiful surroundings/premiere location. Do your research this year to see what facilities are open- call campgrounds directly. Can you share some of your trip planning tips? How much time do you have? How long do you want to travel? Pick a destination first and then pick the best camping opportunities to support that. Read a ton of reviews! Some campgrounds might be more suited for a party weekend, and others for families. What are some of your packing tips? Get a checklist! You can find some great ones here: thervatlas.com Pack tubs and even color code according to person/category that you can easily swap in and out. Stock the RV for the season and then just replace items as needed. What are the benefits of camping for kids? They can be “free. You don’t have to try to control the environment the way you would in a hotel. Parents can enjoy time together once the kids are asleep and not get held “hostage” in the hotel room.

Leave Us A Review This week we had the pleasure of getting lost in the woods with two of the most colorful souls we've had the great fortune of befriending; seasoned RV podcasters, bloggers, and authors Jeremy and Stephanie Puglisi. In the riveting interview, we were able to sit down with two crazy-passionate and multi-faceted people stripped of all inhibitions. They say it like it is when it comes down to parenting, childhood, life on the campground, and how they were able to grapple with the hardships of parenting while making a living and doing what they loved - all in that order. Contrary to popular belief, bloggers and podcasters alike don't always start off thirsty for monetization. The Puglisi couple's output was spun from a genuine place; as both were writers and adventurers at heart, even writing poetry from as early as high school. Both Stephanie and Jeremy have a background in education and a fierce love for their family and they want to share the peace the campground brings to their soul. They're on a mission to share with the world just how humbling and soulful life on the road can be.

No matter where or how you roll, the one thing all RVers have in common is the way the RV lifestyle seems to bring people together - literally and figuratively. For snowbirds, full-timers, near full-timers like Jennifer and me or weekend campers, it's the sheer joy of getting out and meeting new people or simply spending quality time with your spouse or friends. For families with younger children or grandchildren, it means bonding time away from the distractions of day-to-day living, TV, video games, and iPods. Take Stephanie and Jeremy Puglisi, for example. Together with their three children, the Puglisis spend almost 50 nights a year RVing with their children and say they have it down to a science by now. They document their adventures on the RV Family Travel Atlas blog and podcast and join us for episode 23 of the Roadtreking RV Lifestyle podcast with great lessons for parents and grandchildren who RV with childern. In this conversation we learn: How to have a balance between scheduled activities and “down time” Kids never get bored once they are out there, just introduce them to the outdoors Families/grandparents should splurge for kid-friendly campsites, with swimming pools, playgrounds and games Take your kids/grandkids on hikes, challenge them, use it to teach them about the nature and geography You are building amazing memories for your kids and grandkids that they will treasure their entire lives Have a campfire every night. It's a great family bonding time Kids naturally will gravitate to outdoor activities over screen time in front of a TV or computer Recognize that things will go wrong but “we will get through this.” Learning that when things go wrong, we will solve the problem and then we'll have great stories to tell makes for a well-adjusted kid. Each night at an RV park, a neighborhood springs up and kids need all of about five minutes to make friends with a pack of kids. Besides the interview with the Puglisis, we take questions and comments from listeners about: Recommended RV-related audiobooks The Roadtreking Song of the Week submitted by the band Swift Creek Talk about getting all of that salt - regardless of source - off of your RV Plus we have tech tips, a bucket list destination of the week and a whole lot more. [spp-player] First Things First: Prayers for Living the RV Dream's Kathy Huggins We kick off the show with a special call to action - pray for Kathy Huggins from Living the RV Dream. Kathy and John Huggins were on the show last week. Kathy began complaining about severe abdominal pain Friday night, and she was transported to Thomas Hospital in Fairhope, Ala. Doctors there discovered a hernia which impeded blood flow to her upper intestines. Surgeons removed 95 percent of her small intestines. John Huggins told our friend Greg Gerber of RV Daily Report that Kathy is in critical condition in the intensive care unit at Thomas Hospital, and on ventilator support. When she is awake, she can recognize those around her and squeeze their hands, which he said is encouraging.  Although she is expected to recover, the road ahead will require major adjustment on her part, John explained. “I don't think either Kathy or I realized just how many lives we have touched,” said John. “The outpouring of support has been humbling and highly encouraging. We really, really appreciate everyone's prayers and concern.” Check-in of the Week: Roadtreking Fan Jose from Spain A listener named Jose calls from Spain to check-in and let us that our fans definitely are not limited to the United States and Canada.
