What if you could provide your child with a top-notch education while traveling the country in an RV? Today we are joined by Kurt, Melodie, & Marcus from RV Plus 3,  why they chose, homeschooling, how they got started and how it's working 2 years later. 

Kurt and Melodie share their experiences with  homeschooling while living on the road giving their insights on state education variances, the importance of having the right tools, and the online homeschooling curriculum they use. We also discuss the benefits of homeschooling like the ability to take breaks when needed, retake tests, and spend more quality time with peers. Additionally, we shine a light on apps such as Full Time Families and Kids Messenger that are assisting families to connect and providing kids a platform to socialize while on the move.

Most important we talk to Marcus, hear how he feels  and what he things about being about being homeschooled and living on the road.

Pack your bags, folks! We're off on an expedition into the world of RV extended warranties with the owner and CEO of Wholesale Warranties. It's a critical pit stop for every RV owner, especially for those whose road-tripping companions are over 20 years old. We kick things off, revving up some fascinating insights into the average repair cost of a motor home, which can skyrocket between $1,400 to $30,000. We'll also be giving you a sneak peek into our RV Life Live Event – and trust us, you'd want to be part of this!

We then shift gears as I recount my own journey from a dock worker to an RV warranty salesperson. We'll cruise through the success stories of Wholesale Warranties and the real value of warranties from car dealerships. Get ready to hit the high road as we talk about brands like Integra and Winnebago, offered by National Indoor RV Centers, that can give your motor home ownership a real boost. Of course, we can't forget about the significant role of RV roof maintenance and roadside assistance – it's always good to have some extra tools under your belt!

As we near the end of our journey, we'll navigate the risky terrains of DIY repairs and how you can utilize a service contract to cover repairs. We've got your back with valuable resources like RVRepairDirect.com, which provides a list of repair facilities and their ratings. And finally, we'll weigh in on the benefits and drawbacks of getting an RV extended warranty and how it can safeguard your RV investment. It's a ride you wouldn't want to miss, so buckle up for this enriching conversation!
