After a year and a half of RV camping adventures, we're looking back at everything we've learned, what mistakes we made, what worked, and what we'd do differently if we were starting over today. From choosing our first travel trailer to learning about towing, campsite setup, maintenance, storage, and campground reservations, we're sharing the real-world lessons that only come from experience. We'll also discuss our future RV plans, including possible truck upgrades, travel trailer versus fifth wheel considerations, boondocking setups, generator options, and the features that have moved to the top of our wish list after living with our current camper. If you're considering buying your first RV or planning your next upgrade, this conversation may help you avoid some expensive mistakes. Whether you're a weekend camper, full-time RVer, or just dreaming about future adventures, join us as we talk through the lessons learned from our RV journey so far. #RVLife #RVCamping #TravelTrailer #FifthWheel #CampingLife #RVTips #TruckCamping #FloridaCamping CHAPTER LIST 0:00 - Countdown 1:35 - Welcome Back 2:25 - Why It's Just Us Tonight 2:57 - Norway Cruise Update 3:38 - Mandolin Slicer Mishap 4:37 - Tonight's RV Discussion 6:20 - Our Current RV Setup 7:43 - Why We Chose The Escape Hatch 17 10:20 - RV Problems We've Experienced 11:48 - Lessons Learned About RV Ownership 13:00 - Must-Have RV Tools 15:16 - Learning To Tow And Back Up 16:50 - RV vs House Debate 18:25 - Wishlist For Our Next RV 21:17 - Travel Trailer Size Considerations 23:24 - Travel Trailer vs Fifth Wheel 25:25 - Kayak And Bike Storage Challenges 27:00 - Future Truck Plans 29:45 - F-150 vs F-250 Discussion 35:30 - RV Brands We're Researching 39:00 - Florida Camping Reservation Challenges 44:05 - Booking State Parks In Florida 47:15 - Final Thoughts 47:45 - Closing Remarks Welcome to “PKAT Chat,” for your mid week check in!
