It got cold in North Texas last week — cold enough to freeze hoses, shut off water, and send a lot of folks scrambling for backup plans.

But my guest today was still showering in his trailer while everyone else headed to the arena.

In this episode of Wandering Gypsy RV Life, I sit down with PRCA Announcer of the Year Garrett Yerigan to talk about rodeo travel, RV life, and what it really takes to stay ahead of the road when it tries to bite back.

Garrett shares what it’s like living out of a trailer for months at a time, why he travels in a living-quarters horse trailer, how he handles cold weather, water management, maintenance on the road, and the routines that keep him grounded during major runs like the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.

Whether you’re an RVer, a rodeo traveler, or someone who lives and works on the road, this conversation highlights the mindset, preparation, and adaptability it takes to keep rolling smooth.
