Summary: It’s no secret that across North America, many towns and cities are becoming increasingly anti-RV, prohibiting overnight camping anywhere except in RV campgrounds, which often charge an arm and a leg for what can often be pretty dismal campsites. Our interview of the week tells us how we can avoid such places and find lots of great overnight RV camping sites, oftentimes for free or very minimal costs.<br> <br> Also this week in Episode 217, your RV questions, some great RV tips and another excellent off the beaten path report from the Burketts.<br> <br> Show Notes for Episode #217 November 7, 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/2018/11/mikejenmagickingdom.png"></a>MIKE<br> <br> This week we’re coming to you from our new RV, camped in the Fort Wilderness Campground at Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida.<br> <br> JENNIFER<br> <br> We're attending a gathering organized by our friend Paul "Pogo" Pogorzelski, who loves Disney and tossed some dates out last spring and found 50 or so others who agreed that Fort Wilderness would be a great place to gather in early November.<br> <br> <a href="https://roadtreking.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/new-roadtrek.jpg"></a><br> <br> MIKE<br> <br> We are loving our new Roadtrek! It rolled out of the factory Friday and made its way straight to our Michigan driveway, where we packed it up and immediately took off for Florida. Friday and Saturday nights, we needed to run the heater. Tonight, in Florida, the air conditioning is on. It's performed flawlessly so far and we can't wait to show it to you.<br> <br> JENNIFER<br> <br> As soon as we finish the Disney World video and we get a little more familiar with all the bells and whistles on this unit, we will be doing a complete video reveal and tour. But let me say that in almost seven years of doing the RV Lifestyle now in five different Class B Roadtreks, this Roadtrek has impressed us the most in every away way possible. And we've only been in it for three days!<br> <br> MIKE<br> <br> We've asked our various social media followers to help us name this new unit and we'll probably choose one for the video reveal.

As people take pictures of gorgeous places on public land they often share the picture on places like Instagram and Facebook. Those posts typically include location coordinates. So then more people visit the spot, more pictures posted, and more people decided to visit. The result is some unique spots around the country are becoming inundated with tourists before the parking lots are made, before the trails laid out, and before the bathrooms are installed, causing significant environmental damage and a slew of unforeseen troubles. We’ll put a link to this interesting story in the shownotes at Roadtreking.com/217.<br> <br> JENNIFER<br> <a href="https://rvlifestyle.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fe014263f1cfa82faff745847&id=37f60ba742&e=11eaacda04">Couple who fell to deaths at Yosemite National Park were taking selfie, brother said</a><br> Speaking of social media, last week in this newsletter we reported on a couple who were found dead at Yosemite Nation...
