Where do all the new first-time buyers go for education? The same place veteran RVers have been going for the last 22 years!
In 1999 Mark and Dawn Polk had a vision of what RV consumer education in the future should look like. It was a video tape – remember those? Through the years the business evolved with each new technology and continued to grow. Today, RV Education 101 is the premiere consumer go-to website to learn about their RV training programs and have a library of information that directly relates to the type of RV they own or are considering buying.

The industry is abuzz with the increasing popularity of van campers, Type B and small Type C motorhomes powered with lithium battery technology. Fueled (no pun intended) by young professionals working from the road, outdoor enthusiasts that have embraced boondocking and off-the-grid activities, and new families living and traveling in an RV while road schooling their children.

Understanding RV LIFE with RV Life
Join us at 7PM and meet Andy Robinowitz and Patrick Buchanan explain their RV LIFE PRO software and how it will make all your RVing experiences more enjoyable.

Labor Day is in the rearview mirror, nights are a little chilly, and we want to squeeze out another month or two of fall camping. But, it is now time to get the RVs ready for winterization and who better to turn to than our good friend Randy Murray, Director of Service for Pete’s RV Centers. With so many first-time buyers during the pandemic, it is important to understand what you should – and should not – do to get your investment ready for hibernation. And that means understanding all the things you should be checking out, making appointments for service work, and doing some fall cleaning inside and outside your RV.

As we come into the long Labor Day Weekend, It’s crazy to think that our short camping season here in New England will soon be ending! This will be followed with about six more weeks of camping that will get us past the Columbus Day weekend and then you get ready to hibernate your RVs for the winter or head South for some snowbirding adventures before we see you back here in the Spring.

Live from the 2021 Ally Rally of Alliance RV Owners

Join us for a fun hour with Mark Howlett, COO of Truma - an industry leading supplier of heat and water systems, propane systems, coolers and air conditioners.

Rescue My RV
As the industry continues to break records every month with new product sales, it creates opportunities for new companies to enter the industry with exciting new ideas and services. One of those company’s is our newest NERVDA Associate Member, Rescue My RV, the brainchild of co-founders Brenton Jones and Philip Pietrowski, Jr.
Although they market the services to RV dealerships, we thought it would be helpful for them to talk to our fans about the service, what is is and what it isn’t and how they are helping RVers that have service issues or breakdown while traveling to their next destination or weekend camping adventure.

This has been another, absolutely crazy, season for RVers and RV Dealers and Campers and Campgrounds. And here we are half-way through the traditional Northeast camping season and we have so much to talk about, and we know you do also.

Utopia: Doing what you love to do on your own terms!
When Mike Gast majored in journalism at the University of North Dakota School of Journalism he probably didn’t imagine a twenty-year break in his writing career to communicate with the world about camping and campgrounds. As the VP of Communications for KOA, many of us in the media had the pleasure of working with Mike and his team as we witnessed the tremendous growth of that iconic brand in the outdoor hospitality business.
Mike recently retired from KOA and has moved to Hawaii, returning to his roots as a creative writer and journalist, writing for RV Travel and other companies looking for a man of such talents.

RV Inspector – From Retired to Small Business Owner
You have often heard us speaking about the National RV Training Academy and the National RV Inspectors Academy. Well, this week we are going to introduce you to a retired business professional that was an active Rver who decided to learn more about his RV. Along the way he turned it into a second successful career and has now self-published the story that many RVers are going to be able to relate to quite easily.

The much-anticipated launch of Marc and Julie Bennett’s second book has arrived. And one of the first stops on their media tour will be right here on Wednesday evening.

Boston Rob and Amber rocked it last night on RVing in New England.

Our guest tonight is Ben Quggle, Editor of Woodall's Campground Magazine

Open Mic tonight - Ask us Anything!

RV Self Park concept. In fact, it has gone from concept to reality and if you are traveling in Missouri you could be one of the first RVers in the country to try it out.
I’m sure our fans will have a lot of questions and feedback for Jim as he explains how he came up with idea and how he is making it happen. He will also discuss his plans for other locations along America’s highways and byways.
And it took an RVer to do it. We all know most of the great ideas in RVs and campgrounds come from veteran RVers who solve the challenges of the lifestyle and make it easier for others.

Cold Springs RV is a true full-service dealer that offers everything an Rver would need to enjoy their RV. First, they have a large inventory that covers everything from pop-up trailers to park model RVs for destination camping. Inside the dealership you will find a large parts and accessories store. After sales service is available in their new state-of-the-art RV Pro Service Center.

With Memorial Day Weekend in the rearview mirror, the camping season is off to a wet start but with great expectations of a return to a more normal lifestyle in the great outdoors. Tonight, we want to hear from you, our fans, campgrounds and dealers on your views of what camping will be like in 2021 versus the pandemic we endured in 2020.

It can be difficult to stand out from the crowd, especially in such a competitive environment among our NERVDA dealers and the professional sales reps that help consumers find their perfect RV. One that stands out is Bernie Culliton, affectionately known as “Uncle Bernie” by many of his fans.

Nathan and Alicia Lawson will open their ”dream come true” campground on June 1 – and it’s only a five-minute walk from one of NASCAR’s most popular racing venues.

Eric Jackson is a full-time Rver, a World Champion and Olympic Kayaker, a very successful entrepreneur, and a YouTube star.

One of our newest Associate Members has major investments in the outdoor hospitality industry right here in New England. John goes solo this week as he welcomes Dean Geracimos to RVing in New England to tell us all about the company and why they are so bullish on a new strategy of developing outstanding RV and Camping resorts in our back yard.

Our guests tonight are Tony and Peggy Barthel from StresslessCamping.com

Our guest this week is Randy Murray, Director of Service at Pete's RV Centers.
Baseball has returned, flowers are blooming, good weather is arriving and that can only mean one thing, we better get Randy Murray back on the show to make sure you kick off the camping season the right way. And that means understanding all the things you should be checking out, making appointments for service work, and doing some spring cleaning inside and outside your RV.
We want everyone to enjoy trouble-free camping, but it doesn’t come automatically and these hand-made pieces of mobile enjoyment and camping under the stars do need some TLC to be READY when you are ready to hit the road.
Randy is a YouTube rock star with his helpful videos on a myriad of topics and is the Director of Service for the five Pete’s RV Centers from New England to Indiana.
