This week on the RV podcast. Why Class B RVs cost so much? Are the high-end ones really

worth more than a quarter million dollars? If you're headed to the Big Bend National Park in Texas,

be aware that you're not alone. Hundreds of federal troops are now patrolling there on foot and in armed vehicles.

RV travel tips to make your drive less tiring and more enjoyable.

All this plus the RV News of the Week and Mike and Jen's RV Storytime coming up in episode 541 of the RV podcast.

Hello everybody. I'm Mike Wendlin and this is my lifelong traveling companion and my bride,

Jennifer. How are you, my dear? I'm doing terrific.

it's almost safe now to go back home. They did have a

big ice storm in Michigan last week, so we're going to take our time a little bit. Maybe we'll

catch some early spring weather, but we're going to head on home, hook up our RV and head on home

coming up next week or so, we hope. So we'll let you know how that goes.

and the surrounding area for a surveillance and intelligence gathering.

This, of course, is all part of border security.

Big Bend National Parks, one of the largest national parks

that we have anywhere in the country. 800,000 acres. That's the size of larger than Rhode Island.
