That RV might look like the deal of a lifetime, but is it really? In this episode, PJ and Lindsay break down the biggest red flags to watch for when buying a new or used RV. From suspiciously low prices and rushed sales tactics to water damage, limited photos, and questionable DIY modifications, they explain when you should walk away and when you simply need to investigate further. You’ll also learn the green flags of a trustworthy seller, what to inspect before handing over your money, and the differences between buying from a dealership and a private seller. Whether you’re shopping for your first camper or upgrading your current rig, this episode will help you slow down, ask better questions, and avoid an expensive mistake.
We’re sharing our hottest RV camping takes, and some of them might ruffle a few feathers. Do generators ruin the campground vibe? Are outdoor kitchens overrated? Do campers bring way too much gear? And should setting up your campsite really take longer than 30 minutes? PJ and Lindsay debate RV resorts, oversized campers, solar upgrades, rainy camping trips, camping with kids, boondocking, hookups and more. These opinions may be controversial, but they could also help you simplify your setup and enjoy camping a little more. Listen along, then share your own unpopular camping opinion with us!
What really goes on at a Texas state park campground? In this episode of RV Small Talk, we sit down with April and Katie from Texas Parks and Wildlife to uncover the programs, services and behind-the-scenes work that many campers never realize are available. We talk about how to choose the best campsite, what to do when a campground appears fully booked, when canceled or no-show sites may become available and why weekend reservations should be made early. We also cover campsite hookups, waterfront camping, boat parking and the differences between quiet, shaded sites and sunny campsites that work better for RV solar. You will also learn about free activities offered at many Texas state parks, including fishing lessons, kayaking, archery, air rifles, guided hikes and massive astronomy events featuring professional telescopes. Plus, April and Katie explain the conservation work happening behind the scenes to protect shorelines, wildlife and natural areas. Whether you are planning your first camping trip, searching for the perfect RV campsite or wondering what Texas state parks have to offer beyond hiking and camping, this episode is packed with helpful campground tips.
Thinking about renting an RV before buying one? In this episode of RV Small Talk, PJ and Lindsay dive into the real pros and cons of RV rentals, what first time renters should know, and the red flags to watch for before you hit the road. Renting an RV can be a great way to try before you buy, test different RV layouts, compare campers, travel trailers, teardrops, motorhomes, Class B vans, and truck campers, and figure out what actually fits your camping style. But it also comes with a learning curve. From walkthroughs and setup to towing, packing, cleaning, campsite hookups, and figuring out someone else’s camper, there are a few things every renter should know before their first RV trip. PJ and Lindsay talk about why RV rentals can help you make a smarter RV purchase, how to avoid getting overwhelmed, why you should pay close attention during your rental walkthrough, and what signs might mean you should find a different rental. Whether you are brand new to RV camping, trying to decide what camper to buy, or just curious if renting an RV is worth it, this episode is full of honest advice, funny stories, and helpful tips for your next adventure.
We decided to mix things up for this one… PJ and Lindsay went in completely blindfolded with zero prep—and we brought in a surprise guest that longtime listeners are definitely going to recognize. What starts as chaos (and a little screaming—fair warning 😅) turns into one of those conversations that just feels like home. Our old friend Clint is back, and a lot has changed. He’s traded the RV world for life out on a Texas ranch, raising cattle, fixing fences, chasing kids, and figuring out what it really means to slow down and build something that lasts. It’s not polished, it’s not easy—but it’s real, and it fits him in a way that just makes sense. We talk about everything from ranch life and community to overlanding, new RV brands, and what’s been happening back at the shop. Mostly though, it’s just us catching up like no time has passed. If you’ve been listening for a while, this one’s going to hit you right in the feels.
What happens when a love for coffee meets a passion for community, and gets put on wheels? In this episode, we sit down with Steven and Leilani, the duo behind A MI MANERA Coffee Company, a one-of-a-kind coffee trailer blending culture, creativity, and craft. From homemade syrups inspired by family traditions to a lowrider-style trailer turning heads across Central Texas, they’re not just serving coffee, they’re building a space where people can slow down, connect, and feel at home. We dive into how a Thanksgiving conversation turned into a full-fledged business, the challenges of launching a mobile coffee shop, and why they’re choosing experience over speed in a fast-paced coffee world. If you’ve ever dreamed of starting your own business, or just want to hear a story about doing things your way, this episode is for you.
In this episode of the RV Small Talk podcast, we’re diving into a surprisingly controversial topic: watching movies while camping. Is it ruining the experience… or making it even better? We’re building a super casual, very real camping movie list—the kinds of movies you actually end up watching in an RV when it’s raining, too hot, or you just want to wind down at night. Some of the movies we talk about: Into the Spider-Verse / Across the Spider-Verse Charlotte’s Web Bolt (for some reason 😂) The Blair Witch Project The Shining Cabin in the Woods RV We’re the Millers Ernest Goes to Camp The Parent Trap 50 First Dates The Proposal The Long, Long Trailer Garden State Cast Away Into the Wild Grizzly Man FernGully We also get into: 🌧️ What to do when camping plans go sideways (rain, heat, kids… all of it) 🍿 Why movies just hit different when you’re camping 🎬 Easy ways to set up outdoor movie nights (projector, DVDs, downloads, etc.) 🎉 Info about the Texas Tiny Trailer Rally & Truck Camper Rally Whether you’re totally against screens while camping or secretly love a movie night in the camper… this one’s for you.
If you’ve ever stressed about what to cook while camping, this episode is for you. We’re talking all things campsite food—what actually works, what’s way overcomplicated, and how to make meals easier without sacrificing flavor. From hot dogs and simple breakfasts to foil packet dinners and campsite desserts, we share what we’ve learned (sometimes the hard way) about keeping food simple and enjoyable when you’re outdoors. We get into the reality of overpacking vs. underpacking, why a little prep before your trip makes a huge difference, and how a few good spices or sauces can completely change a meal. There’s also plenty of real-life moments in here—like why you shouldn’t go grocery shopping hungry, how breakfast tacos somehow taste better at a campsite, and why cooking outside just hits different. At the end of the day, camping food doesn’t need to be fancy. It just needs to be easy, a little fun, and something you can enjoy with the people around you.
