The last week has been crazy! We totally screwed up traveling to visit family for the holiday. It was such a rookie mistake but just proves that we're human - get all the juicy deets in this episode. We also break down the 3-3-3 rule for RV travel as well as pros and cons to checking in early at campgrounds. But since part of this crazy week was towing the RV on a terrible road, we were inspired to share our top 3 worst roads for RV travel... at least the worst roads we've traveled on so far. These include one of the scariest bridges in the US, driving down an 8% grade as you're staring off a cliff, and the one Kara dubbed the "bounce house" road.
