Two Sisters, Two Paths, and One Road Back to Camping

They grew up camping together. Then life took them in different directions. Decades later, two sisters are finding their way back to each other, and back to the campground.

In this week's RV Podcast, meet Joyce and Susan. One sister kept camping throughout her life. The other returned after losing her husband. Now she travels with caravans, takes solo trips, and shares camping adventures with her sister.

We sat down with them outside their rigs at our RVCommunity Fall Rally in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Their story is about family, friendship, starting over, and finding the confidence to get back on the road.

Also in this episode:

  • Jennifer shares her experience with knee replacement recovery and what to consider before recovering in an RV.
  • How late can you camp before winterizing? Mike explains how temperature, time, and your rig's heating affect that decision.
  • Planning a Florida winter getaway with our Florida Adventure Guide Bundle.

Have you returned to camping after years away, or started traveling again after losing someone? Share your story in the comments.
