Summary

In this episode we answer lots of reader questions, check out the RV news of the week, offer some tech tips and learn all about the many benefits of having a dash cam in your RV. Our guest in the second half of the show is Dewey DeVane, the owner of Windshield Witness, the company that makes the dash cam I use in our RV to document our travels and capture the beautiful scenery Jennifer and I encounter as we travel North America. [spp-player] Shownotes for Roadtreking Podcast Episode 36 First, though, Jennifer and I answer a bunch of listener questions aimed at Jennifer, on topics about what items we permanently keep in the Roadtrek, what pots and pans she takes on our trips and how we share the driving and the chores in our RV. Come meet Jennifer and me in Florida next Week The notice Leisure Time RV in Winter Garden, FL has on its website about our visit next week We share how we are about to head fown to Florida for a week and invite podcast listeners to come meet us on Tuesday, March 17, from 3-7 p.m. at Leisure Travel RV in Winter Garden, Fla. We'll be there with our brand new Roadtrek CS Adventurous XL, which has some top secret experimental features that we are testing. We can't talk publicly about them but if you happen to stop by, I can at least point out the things we, ahem, can't talk about. As an extra incentive for Roadtrek shoppers, Jim Hammill, President of Roadtrek Motorhomes, will offer anyone who comes by and is a member of our Facebook Group a check for $2,500 if they buy a Roadtrek from Leisure Time's current inventory. You can find details of our meet-and-greet and the special deal on the Leisure Time RV website. The GreenPan non-stock ceramic pan we use   The GreenPan The non-stick ceramic pans we use for cooking that Jennifer talked about are called GreenPans. This is one of the pans we use in the RV Mosquito Jacket and head covering Mosquito Jacket She also talked about some mosquito jackets we were planning to get to protect us from biting and stinging insects. Here's what we are ordering. SuperHealthyme The podcast and blog I do about eating healthy and losing weight is called SuperHealthyMe.

Traveling Tech News - the Apple Watch and the Belkin Net Cam I offer my take on the Apple Watch. Suffice it to say, I'm trying to find a reason to buy one. But as I say in this post, I'm not having much success - http://pcmike.com/has-apple-finally-become-too-elitist/ I also talk about the Belkin Net Cam. Being an RV owner, I spend a lot of time on the road. However, I still like to keep tabs on what’s going on at home. With the Belkin NetCam HD Plus, I can check in on the house while I’m gone. With the Belkin NetCam HD Plus, you can literally watch your home from anywhere. The device delivers 720p HD live streaming video straight to your smartphone or tablet and sends you automated alerts whenever the camera detects motion in your home. What’s even cooler is that the Belkin NetCam HD Plus also works with other devices in the WeMo family so you can program home automation triggers like turning on your lights when someone walks through the door. But that’s not all! The push-to-talk feature lets you communicate directly with anyone on the screen, such as a house sitter or family member who couldn’t join the trip.
