0:00.0	Welcome to the RV podcast 397.
0:04.1	And this week, we asked the question,
0:07.4	will campgrounds be less crowded this summer
0:10.6	because more people are canceling trips?
0:28.0	Hi, everybody, I'm Mike Wendland, and this is my lifelong traveling companion and my bride, Jennifer.
0:34.9	Well, we are in the busy travel season. Memorial Day weekend is upon us.

1:46.5	on this summer, maybe even upping our solar and lithium capabilities on the fifth wheel. So
