Summary: Is your RV in storage? Whether out in your driveway, parked around back or kept at one of those storage lots that charge a monthly fee there’s a lot more involved in safely and securely storing your RV for the season than simply locking the doors and walking away until it’s camping season again. We’ll discuss thus in the interview if the week, coming up a little later in the podcast. But we also have your RV questions, traveling technology tips and a great off the beaten path report. <br> <br> Show Notes for Episode #220 Nov 28, 2018 of Roadtreking - The RV Podcast:<br> WHAT MIKE AND JENNIFER ARE UP TO THIS WEEK<br> <a href="https://roadtreking.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/mikejenCU-1-of-1.jpg"></a>Here’s a housekeeping item.

The excellent article highlighted two-mile long bison spotting traffic jams at Yellowstone, fist fights over parking spots in the parks, and once unknown sites being overwhelmed by tourists after becoming famous on social media - as we talked on the podcast a few weeks back. The article is worth a read, and is familiar material to many of us who are out there and have witnessed much of what is described. We put a link to it in the showbites at Roadtreking-dot-com-slash-220.<br> <br> MIKE<br> <a href="https://rvlifestyle.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fe014263f1cfa82faff745847&id=f1a5a80f7a&e=df3b88aaea">Seasoned RVers, and those who never RVed, buying motor homes and trailers to give to fire victims </a><br> Heartbreaking stories about the devastation caused by the California wildfires has dominated the news recently, but last week there were a number of inspirational tales of strangers helping strangers.
