As RVers we spend lots of time behind the wheel. Flipping radio channels gets old, and audio books seem to go on forever. Why not mix up your listening hours with a few podcasts about RVing?
Mix up your driving routine with podcasts about RVing.
Podcasts are great because they’re:
- Short. Usually less than one hour long
- Topic-specific. Search iTunes or Stitcher for whatever subject rocks your world – like RVing!
- Cost nothing, or close to it.
- Don’t hog bandwidth. You can save your data allowance for other things.
Podcasts are simple audio files that you can download to any device that can play them. To find podcasts about RVing, all you need to do is root through the two largest podcast directories, iTunes and Stitcher. Many other podcasts exists outside of these directories too, which is why we created this list.
You too can make podcasts from your RV!
The Best Podcasts About RVing, Camping and Family Travel
Through the years, many RVers have started their own podcasts about RVing but only a handful of them have staying power. Those that stick around after a dozen episodes are usually created by experienced talk show hosts from the radio industry, so you know they’re going to be worth listening to.
These RVing talk show hosts have lots of RVing and camping knowledge to share with newbies and experienced RVers alike. Here’s the best list of podcasts about RVing, in alphabetical order:
All Things Overnight RV Parking Podcast
Although the creators of this podcast about RVing are no longer making new episodes, it’s worth a mention because it’s the only podcast dedicated to this popular subject.
Some RVer’s boondock, some don’t. Some stay in RV parks. At some point in their travels, most RVer’s will overnight park. Maybe in a parking lot, a friend or relative’s driveway, or in places you’d never think. Nancy and Danny talk about anything to do with Overnight RV Parking. We’ll discuss ways to save money, be safe, and most of all be comfortable on an overnight stay.
