RV CONVERSATION OF THE WEEK - RV Solar and Lithium Update
This week we talk about the latest in advanced power management systems for RVers, concentrating on RV Solar and Lithium.
In a wide-ranging discussion recorded at the recent Florida RV Supershow in Tampa with two experts from Future Solutions, a leading RV energy design and installation firm, we learn about the newest technical innovations and price points.
Matt and Josh share how your rig specifics, how often you plan on using it, where you’ll be spending most of your time, and what you use in your day-to-day life will all have a big impact on your mobile energy needs.

SOCIAL MEDIA BUZZ - Wendy Bowyer
Wendy Bowyer reports on the hot issues most talked about this past week on social media and our RV Lifestyle Community group.
The talk of all of our social media groups this past week has been the weather! Who would think places like Louisiana or the palm tree lined beaches of the Florida panhandle would have snow - and we're talking 3, 5, even 7 inches of snow in places! I hope everyone who found themselves camping in this unexpected weather is safe and their rigs were not damaged.
But in our RVLifestyle Community, we've had a lot of buzz about gatherings. People had so much fun meeting one another at our Tampa RV Show meetups. I loved watching online friends become "real life" friends, and see those connections form.
And this week in the Community, registration is now open for our campout we're calling the Sleeping Bear Rally. We are camping by the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore! This is such a beautiful part of the country in the northwest corner of Michigan's lower peninsula. Picture Lake Michigan with its pristine, clear blue waters, sandy beaches and sand dunes some more than 450' high, healthy forests, quaint resort towns - it really is a charming area.
We are so excited to camp with our Community. If you're not a member, you need to check it out at community.rvlifestyle.com
Then over on our RVLifestyle Facebook Group, lots of conversations, but one that caught my eye was from Cindy.
