In this episode of Tales from the Rig, join us as we recount a peculiar incident that began with an unusual smell and culminated in a scene straight out of a sitcom (or scary movie depending on how you look at it). 😅Tune in as we delve into the unexpected chain of events that unfolded during our RV journey that ended with our clothes sprawled all over the lawn, shouldering. This story will leave you with shaking your head in disbelief (and checking the tags on your clothing) moving forward. 😅 Join us as we unravel the curious case of These Clothes Are on Fire. 🔥
Tune into this episode of Tales From The Rig as we delve into one of the most bizarre situations we've encountered on the road. 👀
Picture this: our entire back closet filled to the brim with clothing, all covered in mold! 💁♀️
We recount the tedious process of trying to salvage our favorite clothing items, and what became of the ones we couldn't rescue. 🪦
From discussing the root cause of this mold invasion to sharing essential tips on how to prevent moisture in your rig, we uncover valuable insights for fellow full-time RVers. ✅
This episode is a great reminder RV life has its ups and downs just like every other lifestyle, and you can always learn something new, even during the *challenging times*. 🦠 😷

When we embarked on our RV life journey, we definitely viewed it through rose-colored glasses. 🌹 In fact, I (Court) enthusiastically declared my intention to do all our laundry BY HAND IN A BUCKET as part of this new lifestyle. 🥲 I even created an entire YouTube video about it...cue laughter 😅
Join us this week as we revisit the ONE documented time I attempted washing our laundry by hand, and explore the stark contrast between the romanticized perception of RV life and its reality.
Oh, and brace yourself for some perplexing non-stop references to Narnia and Harry Potter. ⚡️🪄 🦁
P.S. There's some *language* in this episode, so throw on the headphones if you have littles at home, or are watching at work 😂

This episode is a little more serious as we talk about what happened to Court last week when she was in and out of anaphylaxis for four days.
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome is a diagnosis that was introduced into both of our lives last June, and this tale is just a piece of the ever-growing puzzle surrounding this autoimmune condition.
We are not doctors, nor experts on the matter, but we figured we'd share this journey with you just as we did with RV Life - learning and sharing as we go.
Here are some links we reference in the episode, and that we found helpful when we were first diagnosed with this condition.

In this podcast episode we upgrade from our casual millennial strolls in the forest to a big kid hike, which leads to some reveling information about hiking gear.
Join us as we share the hilarious tale of our first encounter with the 'Shewee,' a game-changing female peeing device, and discover how a seemingly innocent hike turned into a comedic adventure involving bears.
Tune in for laughter, unexpected twists, and a unique take on nature's call – because sometimes, the call of the wild is more problematic than you think. laugh😂
Typically when you ask people how to save money when doing RV life the first response you get is "boondocking." This is a type of camping where you don't have water, sewer, or electrical hook-ups.
And well- this is the story of our first and last time doing that, because it turns out we are not made for boondocking life laugh 😂

Listen in as we describe our time in Vegas and give the final verdict on whether we loved the city or would be ok with never going back 😏
We talk about our campground, learning what "Boulder Highway" means to locals, our first experience joining a gym on the road, how we dealt with getting downtown, what our day-to-day looked like, and a little bit about the experiences we dove into.
If you're interested to see our Top 5 Free and Paid Things to Do in Vegas - head over to our YouTube channel!
With the recent invasion of Ukraine by the Russian military, now more than ever, we're leaning into empathy and compassion as we discuss the deep emotion we're feeling for our fellow humans as they fight for their lives and their freedom. Listen in as we discuss how our minds are processing the information, how we're grappling to make sense of nonsense, and the reality of needing breaks from the news of the world.
We're often asked how we make friends on the road, and in this episode, we spill the tea. Whether or not you live life on the road, we find friendship and community in some of the same exact places you'd find it in a traditional stationary lifestyle.
Listen in as we talk about all the different ways we've met people throughout our travels!
