“Do Not Buy That Brand” | New RV Mistakes, Inspections, and the 300-Mile Rule (Egelns)

Picture this: you’re sitting in a rural parking lot because the cell signal is about to disappear… and you’re one deposit away from buying the RV you think is the one. Then a friend says four words that hit like coal in a Christmas stocking: Do not buy that brand. In this episode of the Wandering Gypsy RV Life video podcast, I’m joined by Bill and Laura Egeln, fresh into the Class A lifestyle with their new-to-them Tiffin Allegro Open Road they’ve named Gladys. We talk through the real newbie moments most folks only learn the hard way: ✅ First-time RV mistakes and lessons learned ✅ Driving challenges and the “newbie death grip” ✅ Why you never want to arrive at a campground after dark ✅ The 300-mile rule (and when you might bend it) ✅ Departure prep, checklists, and maintenance rhythm ✅ Winterizing basics and “propane is cheap insurance” ✅ Why inspections matter, and when to walk away ✅ Communities and resources that make RV life easier This isn’t hype. It’s practical, lived RV life: the stuff that moves, shakes, and sometimes breaks… and how to stay calm and roll smooth anyway.
