RV Lifestyle with Mike and Jennifer Wendland

Yes, of course, the waterfalls in the Pacific Northwest are world-famous (more on that SOON! hint hint new ebook coming??), but the waterfalls in Michigan are beautiful, too, and maybe a little closer to visit!

After years of making rookie mistakes (and a few spectacular navigation fails that we'll probably never live down), we've figured out the secret to planning RV routes that actually let you enjoy the journey instead of white-knuckling it from point A to point B.

We love boondocking - camping off-the-grid, without hookups, usually far from civilization. It's one of the reasons why we purchased our new Cape Cod motorhome. We have 21 videos on this YouTube Playlist for you to sit back and watch. All the way from just a few weeks ago to boondocking in the woods of Northern Michigan 8 years ago! https://lnkd.in/gXin6k-7

Enjoy the BEST RV Camping in the Adirondacks (9 Favorite Campgrounds) The Adirondack region is an explorer's paradise! It is a great place to adventure since it is the largest publicly protected area in the “lower 48.” There is so much to see and do. With all that adventuring, you must hitch up your RV somewhere. Thankfully, there are many RV parks and private campgrounds to choose from. https://lnkd.in/gwYbk7Kd

I don't want to imply that we've figured it all out. But over the past 15 years, since we decided to go all in on the RV Lifestyle, we've learned a lot of great lessons. The Big Ones were gradual. We learned them through trial and error, sometimes in adversity, sometimes with great joy. But how I wish we knew these when we started our over-50 RV adventures. Over morning coffee overlooking the beauty of Lake Michigan from a 450-foot sand dune near our campsite, Jennifer and I came up with this list, typed two-finger style on my smartphone. https://lnkd.in/gT_M5Qd2

This week on the RV Podcast: Just HOW MUCH would you pay for an RV campsite? $200? $300? $400? You won't believe how expensive it has become! PLUS Starlink’s entire global network pretty much collapsed for hours last week, causing reliability concerns for what had been pretty much a trouble-free online source for RVers. And talk about scary! A mountain lion attacked a four-year-old girl while she was hiking with her parents out west last week. The dad saved his daughter, but she had to be airlifted to a hospital. All this plus the RV News of the Week and your questions coming up in Episode 557 of the RV Podcast https://lnkd.in/geKHbQdN

The RV Lifestyle offers a lot of choices. From travel trailers to fifth wheels to motorhomes to truck campers, there is an RV to suit every style.
