Do you remember that feeling when you first started contemplating RV life? That mix of excitement and nerves, endless questions, and wondering if you'd actually ever figure out what you were getting yourself into? That's exactly how we felt launching this podcast at the Hershey RV Show. And wow, has it been a ride.

As we wrap Season 1, we can honestly say it’s exceeded every expectation. There have been some pivots, of course, and some new ideas we didn’t know would come, like the Community Spotlight series featuring casual conversations with incredible guests that felt like sitting around a campfire with friends. We watched this endeavor bring the RV community together in ways we could never have anticipated.

But here's the thing about wraps and finales — they're really just the gear-up for what comes next.

What This Episode Is About

Yes, this is the season finale. But no, it’s not the end. Jennifer and Tasha pull back the curtain on what surprised them most about podcasting, the skills we never knew we’d need to learn, and the stories that made Season 1 unforgettable. We announce major changes coming to both the podcast and the Learn To RV website, reveal exactly when Season 2 launches, and share what we’ll be up to during our very abbreviated break.

Spoiler: It's not a vacation. 

Jennifer's heading to the massive Florida RV SuperShow in Tampa where RV Roofing Solutions will have two booth locations. Meanwhile, Tasha's attending PodFest Multimedia Expo 2026, one of the largest podcasting industry events in the country, to level up the show's production quality and bring listeners an even better experience in Season 2.

Between behind-the-scenes confessions, big announcements, and a genuine gratitude for the community that made this season possible, we’re setting the stage for an exciting new chapter. And if you've been wondering how you can get more involved with Learn To RV — as a writer, guest, or sponsor — this conversation answers those questions, too.

What You'll Discover

Jennifer and Tasha reflect on their favorite Season 1 moments and why the people we've met matter most. We discuss the unexpected learning curve of podcasting, like technical skills and storytelling techniques, and how the experience stretched them in surprising ways.

You'll hear about the upcoming website changes designed to make learntorv.com even more useful for RVers at every experience level. We share ways for you to get involved in the community, whether you want to write articles, appear on the podcast, or sponsor future episodes. We also break down what the break between seasons actually involves and why investing in education at events like PodFest matters for delivering better content.

Our conversation covers major RV events like the Florida RV SuperShow, the FRVA rally in Perry, Georgia, and the unique Big Hats in the Bluegrass gathering at Firefly Hills Kentucky. Jennifer talks about the logistics of running RV Roofing Solutions' double booth presence at Tampa, while Tasha geeks out about foraging classes, fishing, and building bat houses in Kentucky.

Most importantly, you'll learn the exact date Season 2 launches and what format changes listeners can expect. Jennifer and Tasha reveal their vision for the new season, including potential guest co-hosts and fresh content directions that reflect what the community actually wants to hear.

Ready to Go Deeper?

The full episode delivers emotional moments alongside practical announcements. Jennifer opens up about why launching this podcast felt different from other projects, while Tasha shares how the experience taught her skills she never expected to need on her resume. We discuss the evolution from our original Hershey-to-Hershey season plan to the more flexible approach that life on the road requires.

Listeners get the inside scoop on what's changing with the Learn To RV website and how those updates will benefit the entire community. We explain our writer program, including how often contributors really submit articles and what topics work best, plus detail sponsorship opportunities still available for Season 2.

Jennifer promises to be catching the action and meeting community members throughout the Florida RV SuperShow, though her booth responsibilities mean she can't cover everything happening across the massive 70,000-person event. The PodFest discussion reveals Tasha's plans to focus on quality improvements, editing software upgrades, and networking with other podcasters to bring fresh ideas back to Learn To RV. She's particularly excited about meeting industry professionals who can help the show grow and improve technically while maintaining the authentic, conversational feel listeners love.

And yes, we finally announce the Season 2 premiere date. Mark your calendars, because this new season promises to push boundaries, explore unexpected topics, and bring the RV community together in new ways.

The Heart of Season 1

Podcasting the right way turned out to be about more than just picking the best equipment and editing software. It became about authentic connection with people navigating similar challenges, celebrating the same victories, and building community across miles of highway and campgrounds.

We never expected seasons when we started. We certainly didn't predict the organic growth, the meaningful conversations, or the way stories would unfold naturally. That flexibility and willingness to roll with the punches and adapt to what the community actually needs and wants defines both the RV life and this podcast.

Season 1 proved that the RV community craves real conversations from real people. Not perfectly polished productions, but genuine dialogue that feels like friends gathered around a campfire sharing hard-won wisdom, embarrassing mistakes, and beautiful moments from life on the road.

Thank you for being part of this journey. For listening, engaging, sharing your stories, and building this community together. Season 2 is going to push boundaries and explore new territory, but it only happens because you showed up for Season 1.

We hope you’ll join us for Season 2. Subscribe now so you don't miss the premiere, and share this episode with others who might benefit from joining the Learn To RV community. The road ahead looks incredible.
