RV of 3: Adventures with the Yandels
Version 3: 2 Full-time RV travelers sharing the fun, the burdens and all things about full time RV living. We wanted to share our experiences with you to provide some of the education and turmoils we had to learn so you don't have to! When we started out as full timers, we looked everywhere for some information. Some of it was readily available, and some of it was not. We set out to share our experiences with you on our life on the road. ---Over the years, our podcast has transformed and has seen man iterations. We started out as 2 entrepreneurs who left our career 9-5 jobs to pursue our dreams of becoming our own boss. Opening 1 gym with our business partner quickly saw amazing success that catapulted us to purchasing a second location. The first 137 episodes showcase our successes and troubles with the day to day operations of the gym, to the education for members and fitness enthusiasts alike. Fast forward to today, where we sold it all to become full time RV travelers. We will discuss everything we've learned along the way; maintenance, tips & tricks, internet for travelers, working remotely and more! Our goal is to share everything we've learned so we can help inspire others to get out and enjoy life.

Surviving Vehicle Breakdowns on the Nomadic Road: A Journey of Resilience
Embracing the RV life is a dream for many, but it has its challenges. One of the toughest moments for full-time RVers is when your home-on-wheels breaks down unexpectedly.
RV Life When Your Vehicle Breaks Down
RVs are like your mobile sanctuary, but what happens when your sanctuary breaks down? It's a scenario every nomadic traveler dreads.
How to Manage Life Without Your Vehicle
When your vehicle is in the shop for repairs, you suddenly find yourself without your familiar abode. This can be a challenging adjustment, but it's essential to stay adaptable. Consider alternative accommodations like temporary rentals or reaching out to friends or family.
Navigating the "National Back Order Registry" for Vehicle Parts
In recent years, the RV and vehicle industry has faced a supply chain crisis, resulting in a national backorder registry for vehicle parts. This means getting the necessary components for repairs can take longer than expected. To minimize delays, stay informed about the availability of parts, and be prepared for extended repair timelines.
Challenging Your Vehicle's Warranty Company
If your vehicle is still under warranty, don't take "no" for an answer. Sometimes, warranty companies may try to deny coverage for repairs. Be persistent, document everything, and seek legal advice if necessary. Your warranty is there to protect you, so make sure you get what you're entitled to.
Two Vehicles While Traveling: Pros and Cons
Some nomadic travelers opt for two vehicles - their RV and a smaller, more fuel-efficient car. This offers greater flexibility and convenience but also comes with added expenses and logistical challenges.
Finding Alternatives to Get the Vehicle Fixed
In the face of parts shortages and repair delays, resourceful RVers have found non-traditional ways to keep their vehicles on the road. For example, services like "Circuit Board Medics" have helped fix complex electronic issues that have sidelined many Chevrolet Silverado vehicles for over 18 months. Exploring such alternatives can be a game-changer in the world of RV repairs.
