Notes for Episode #3 of Roadtreking – The RV Podcast:

Episode released Oct. 15, 2014

OPENING DISCUSSION:

We had an in-depth conversation about free places to stay overnight and how many communities are enacting anti-RV ordinances and regulations aimed at forcing RVers to stay in commercial campgrounds.

I offer up two great resources for free overnight parking and free boondocking:

Tell them Roadtreking sent you and you will get a special deal.

Last week, we traveled south in our RV for a visit with our son’s family in SW Georgia. We do this several time a year to see the grandkids…and this time. we watched a couple of them play sports. You’ll meet meet two of my grandsons and they’ll tell you yet another reason why RVs are so handy… even if you don’t camp.

Jennifer stops by to open our books, revealing our out of pocket costs on a typical RV trip.

LISTENER QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK:

Listeners ask our experience with our Michelin LTXMS2 tires and, specifically, we talk about how they handle in the snow.

RV NEWS OF THE WEEK:

There’s a very tough new anti-RV law on the books in San Diego. Some 250 plus RVers have been hit with stiff fines for parking their RVs near beach access sites over the past couple of weeks

TRAVELING TECH TIP:

I talk about weather apps.

You may not know it but most phones today automatically receive emergency weather alerts. Check your phone’s settings and notifications and you’ll see where to set them. It gets emergency alerts, but has to be turned on. Check with your carrier for specifics but when activated, you’ll get warnings automatically as the are issued. The system also sends out Amber alerts and, in dire emergencies, presidential warnings

My favorite weather app is My Radar. It’s a free app for all the major mobile platforms. It displays animated weather radar around your current location, allowing you to quickly see what weather is coming your way. For $3.99 you can include weather warnings and alerts, complete with push notifications, to warn you of severe weather in your area.

RV BUCKET LIST DESTINATION:
