426. Your RV Questions Answered - Live From RV Miles Homecoming

Recorded live at the 4th annual RV Miles Homecoming in Amana, Iowa, Jason and Abby discuss Choice Hotels acquiring Harvest Hosts, and then take audience questions on how RVing has changed since they started, whether they’re considering a smaller rig, and ideas for a future episode on trip-planning apps and AI-assisted planning. They share the origin story of RV Miles from their 2016 move onto the road and how COVID shifted their work into news coverage, answer questions about composites becoming common RV materials, and address confusing rec.gov campsite length limits.
