They planned a short RV adventure. It turned into a life-changing journey.
In this episode of The RV Podcast, we sit down with the Shinpaugh family, a family of four who hit the road in 2016, thinking they would travel for a few years. Instead, they quietly built a whole new life on wheels, homeschooling their kids, running their businesses remotely, and making the road their normal. (Learn more about them at theshinpaughs.com/)
Then we shift gears and break down what just happened at the Florida RV SuperShow, our 14th time attending the biggest RV show in the country.
We cut through the hype and share our two biggest takeaways from the show, including:
- Why Brinkley RV had the best display at the entire show, and why their low-pressure, owner-driven approach stood out
- Why we came away encouraged that real quality still exists in today’s RV market
- The motorhomes and towables that impressed us most, including Grand Design’s Lineage, lighter-weight Coleman fifth wheels, and the futuristic Lightship and Pebble trailers
We also answer your RV lifestyle questions and catch you up on our latest travels on the road.
This episode is packed with inspiration, industry insight, and real-world RV living, whether you’re dreaming, planning, or already rolling.
