A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This podcast is very informative without insulting your intelligence. The hosts are down to earth people who are not over the top obnoxiously screaming at you about their podcast or their spouse like another camping podcast.

BA-Fan · May 2026

I am a relatively new RV Camper ( just over 2 years) and listen to Peggy & Tony regularly when driving for my delivery job. It’s a fabulous way to pass the time while learning valuable information on RV Camping, reviews on equipment/services as well as tips on saving money They are very funny and entertaining and you can hear the smile on their faces!! Recommend this podcast highly!!

joerone · Dec 2025

This is a great podcast. I’m new to the RV world so I appreciate all the tips and information Peggy & Tony share. I’m also one of the three or four people who love the Halloween episodes!

1aussiedogownr · Feb 2025

I’ve been searching for an RV podcast that more closely discusses issues important to me, and this one comes close. Honestly, I’m a cheapskate when it comes to camping- I prefer public campgrounds like federal and state parks near I might have to use my poo wagon every now and then to keep my waste tanks drained, but at least I have a nice place to camp for a low price that does t cram you in like sardines (like private RV parks do.) My old camper (2005 25ft Outback) isn’t the best for boondocking nor the prettiest, but it’s mine, it’s works well, and my 1/2 ton pickup hauls it just fine. So far all the RV podcasts I’ve came across cater to bougie well heeled RVers who don’t think twice about plunking down a cool million on a rig or $200-a bazillion a night to camp at Club Bling-Bling. You guys give a lot of new practical ideas that I can actually USE. I’ve actually made a couple of purchases based on your recommendations. Thanks guys Tom W.
