With RV maintenance, repairs, and warranty coverage being such a hot subject these days, we thought it would be a perfect time to look back and update a story we did with Jack Shelton, the founder of Wholesale Warranties and see why his company is so highly rated by RV-ers everywhere. | Then, we join Chris Dougherty of Dougherty RV Consultants as he shows us a couple of great, practical products from Hatchlift that you should consider getting, starting off with a brand new item called the Stake Hand, which makes getting into your pickup bed a whole lot easier. | Later, Chris shows us an item Hatchlift is known for that is now standard on many new RVs, but if you have an older model, you can install these yourself and make your RV lifestyle a whole lot easier.

If your RV travel plans include a trip to Cape Cod, a great place to make camp in the Upper Cape is Bayview Campground. Located just across the Bourne Bridge, this is a perfect place to spend time on the Upper Cape. Of course, before you head out on your first adventure, be sure to go through your spring checklist. This week, Mark and Dawn Polk from RV Education 101 show us what’s on their annual list of things to check. As you’re getting ready to hit the road, don’t forget your dog is as excited as you are to get camping, so prepare for their safety also. This week, Dr. Fitz explains all about those pesky ear infections that can occur any time or any place. Later, with everyone having multiple mobile devices these days, many older RVs only have one USB charging port. This week, Jeff Johnston shows us how easy it is to add one or more USB ports to your RV.

This week we join John DiPietro in Quartzsite, Arizona for a visit with Kimi King, who runs the “Quartzsite Sports, Vacation and RV Show,” the largest consumer-based RV show in the world. Also, Mark and Dawn Polk from “RV Education 101” explain to us about RV living on 30 amps. Then, Jeff Johnston shows us his tried and true camp cooking gear that he’s used over the years, along with some newer items that will probably make his tried and true list for the next 20 years. And yes, it’s getting skunk season again, and this week we look back at some information Dr. Fitz gave us on what to do if your dog does get skunked.

On this week’s show, Jeff Johnston visits the 50th National Truck-In, in Sterling, Colorado. He shows us some of the unique vans and RVS he found at the event. | Then, we check back with Evanne Schmarder in her RV kitchen, as she shows us some nice space-saving cookware and prepares a unique, healthy Indian dish made with yellow peas. | Later, Jeff Johnston explains the on-the-road safety checks he performs when out traveling the country. | Everyone knows that dogs just love to chew, and try eating most anything, and that could be dangerous. This week, on a ‘Paws on Board,’ Dr. Fitz explains what you should do if your dog ingests anything poisonous. | These stories, plus our big Go Power! Kick-Off Spring Contest, on this week’s “RVing Today” TV.
