Summary

We’re in Elkhart this week hosting a rally we called the Elkhart Encounter and are camping right on the grounds of the RV/MH Hall of Fame museum. Our group of about 150 are touring the museum, attending RV maintenance seminars, enjoying food trucks, pot luck dinners, a catered meal, private tours of the production lines of our main sponsor, Keystone RV, and an RV driving school taught by Cortney Armstrong, aka the Flipping Nomad. We decided to do this Episode 405 of the RV spodcast from the Hall of Fame and to interview Darryl Searer, the president of the Hall of Fame.
