RV Trash Talk
RV Trash Talk is a conversational podcast about full-time RV living, hosted by three couples β Danny and Melissa DeLacey of 4 Simple Lives, Rob and Trish Verzera of Living Like Nomads, and Jim and Amy Zimmer of The Vagabondz. Episodes blend campfire-style stories from the road with practical advice on RV maintenance, repairs and keeping a rig rolling.
