In Episode 59 of Rolling Home titled, "The beauty and sufficiency of boondocking," I discussed why RVing and van life appeal to campers like me such as the boondocking aspect of it. That’s because boondocking returns campers to a simpler time when self-sufficiency was essential for successful living. I didn’t say much about the health benefits of RVing, and in my case, the self-sufficien...

Most everyone traveling in a small van, SUV, or another vehicle will from time to time need to stop along their route for a quick rest bit of shut-eye.

If you own an RV, travel trailer, or another style of camper you know of or may have bought your first RV from the “big box” RV retailer.

We’ll explore that subject in this edition of the Rolling Home Podcast. Show notes
