1 Undeniable Health Danger! When the RV Lifestyle is TOO MUCH of a vacation

In our interview of the week for this episode of the RV Podcast, we continue our profile of various YouTube influencers by introducing you to Christine and Aaron, of IreneIronFitness.com, who do online fitness, health, and nutritional coaching as they travel North America in their Class B RV. We’ll learn some tricks about how to get more food in those small RV refrigerators, what foods to eat while on the road and some easy ways to get and stay fit. Also this week, we have lots of RV news updates, your questions, and a great off the beaten path report from the Burketts. Show Notes for Episode #290 of The RV Podcast: WHAT MIKE AND JENNIFER ARE UP TO THIS WEEK We remain in Florida, with travel suspended as we wait for the crisis to ease and the all-clear is signaled for our RV adventuring to resume. SUPER B SHOW TO GO ONLINE This is the week we were scheduled to be on the road, headed to Phoenix and the annual Super B show of small motorhomes, a premier event where the latest Class B, B+, and C motorhomes are on display. Like all other such shows and events, this year's physical show was canceled but LaMesa RV, the show's sponsor, is taking the Super B show online, with a virtual show scheduled to start this Thursday, April 16. The online version of the show will feature detailed video tours of a different motorhome every day through the end of the month, with live questions answered about the featured vehicle. Brands being shown include small motorhomes from Tiffin, Leisure Travel Vans, Pleasure-Way, Story Overland, Winnebago, and Thor. To "attend" the online version of the Super B Show CLICK HERE.

We have four different stories we will be releasing over the next several weeks, with the first this coming Saturday, April 18. We will let you decide which one you want to see first.

We have been working remotely since 2012 and, as RVers who are on the road and work from our LTV Unity FX almost three-quarters of the time, we have some easy suggestions that will help you navigate all the ins and outs of not being able to physically go into the office while working from your sticks-and-bricks home. .

This story focuses on a few people living full-time in their van, and details how they adjusted. For some, it meant renting a home for a bit and moving out of the van. Others moved to relative's driveways. And others? They are trying to hunker down, and live 24/7 in a VERY small space.

Many closed their campgrounds long ago when COVID-19 first surfaced, but kept the park and trails open so those who live nearby could visit and practice social distancing outside. But then, people started arriving - in record numbers - causing new problems. In Wisconsin's High Cliff state park, 16,000 people visited over two days - the amount that typically comes in a month. With such crowds, the state governor said there was no choice but to close 40 parks entirely. And this is happening elsewhere. Our friends at Campendium (click here) continue to do a great job keeping an up-to-date list of what is open and what is not as things are constantly changing. Take this 'test' to see how many national parks you can recognize So as you're stuck at home, dreaming of the day you can head out to the great outdoors, here is something fun to do. Travel & Leisure has a video "test" where the name of a park is shown, along with several images, and you can test yourself to see how many you can correctly name. (And may discover a few new places you absolutely need to visit!) And while we're all dreaming, here is a link to a story Jen and I did some time back of our Top 10 National Park
