RV CONVERSATION OF THE WEEK - Finding an affordable RV deal While staying at our Florida condo recently, I spotted something that caught my eye in the parking lot - an older but well-maintained Airstream Interstate Class B van parked just a few spaces away from us. As Bo and I headed to the dog park, I noticed the owner outside working on his rig. I introduced myself and offered some assistance with a few Class B questions he had. That's when I learned he had just purchased this 2004 Airstream Interstate - and landed an incredible deal on it. Over the past few days, I've gotten to know this fellow RV enthusiast better, and his story is worth sharing. His experience proves that amazing RV deals are still out there for those willing to look. If you've been thinking an RV might be out of your price range, his story might change your mind. The price he paid for this well-maintained Airstream will surprise you - and it might just inspire your own RV search! Scott paid just $15,000! Watch or listen on the player above to get the details on how he did it. SOCIAL MEDIA BUZZ - Wendy Bowyer Wendy Bowyer reports on the hot issues most talked about this past week on social media and our RV Lifestyle Community group. In our private RVLifestyle Community, we had a fun LIVE last Thursday, talking about all the little things you need to do at the start of the camping season. It is always great being together, sharing information and having fun! For those who don't know, our RVLifestyle Community is a private online community we recently started that is friendly, welcoming - we even have a motto which is have fun, make friends, find adventure. If you aren't there, come check it out! We also, of course, have our more than half-a-million member RVLifestyle Facebook Group, where a recent post from Rafael caught my eye. Rafael wrote: Whomever recommended this for cleaning the RV thank you! I poured the 32oz bottle in a bucket halfway full of water it took off all the black streaks and dirt instantly. Cost me $3 to clean my entire 40 ft 5th Wheel. Now the product Rafael was tallking about is called LA's Totally Awesome All Purpose Cleaner - something often sold at your local dollar store. This post got so many comments - more than 365 last I saw - and so many said this cleaner really cleaned their RV. In fact many said it was great on all sorts of ...
