  • 18. How to Survive Marriage in a Tiny Rolling Home | Full Time RV Life
    Oct 15 2025

    RV life isn’t always glamorous — especially when you’re sharing a 300‑square‑foot space with your spouse and kids. In this candid episode of RV Trash Talk, the whole crew dives into the nitty‑gritty of marriage on the move. Danny, Melissa, Rob, Trish, Jim, and Amy compare how long they’ve been together, what it’s like raising kids on the road, and the silly arguments that pop up when you live and work in a tiny home on wheels.

    From naps versus work schedules to smoke alarms that never stop beeping, they prove that every petty disagreement has a funny side. You’ll hear about the most ridiculous things they’ve packed “just in case” (cowboy boots and car detailing kits), an oh‑boy moment involving a sideways rainstorm and a leaky slide, and a tech tip about a missing fuse that kept a fridge from running on propane. Whether you’re newly mobile or a seasoned full‑timer, their stories offer real talk and laughter about RV life, RV living, RV repairs and RV travel.

  • 17. RV Life for the Dudes: Tools, Tires & Temper Tantrums on the Road
    Sep 17 2025

    It’s the Dudes Only edition of RV Trash Talk! In this episode, Danny, Rob, and Jim take over the mics while the ladies head out—and the guys dive into the real, unfiltered side of RV living.

    From safety and security on the road to the tools they can’t live without, the guys share their best advice and a few embarrassing confessions (weed whacker, anyone?). They tackle how to keep your sanity living in 300 sq. ft., what happens when tempers flare, and the maintenance issues that just won’t quit. Plus, Rob drops a wild “oh boy” moment about back-to-back valve stem blowouts that’ll make you double-check your tires.

    This is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever wondered what full-time RV life looks like when the guys are left unsupervised. Packed with laughs, practical tips, and the occasional man-card debate (pedicures included), this episode shows RV living from a whole new angle.
