RV Texas Y'all Newsletter

Hey y\'all! Wow! Have our lives been crazy busy over the past few weeks! We have so much to share with y'all, we almost don't know where to begin. We apologize for this newsletter being a bit late. We were in Athens TX attending classes at the National RV Training Academy for the past 2 weeks. We managed to continue our Sunday and Wednesday videos while we were there, but our class schedule didn't leave us much time for anything else. We went there expecting to take a one week class on basic RV maintenance to learn more about troubleshooting and basic DIY fixes. What we experienced there was so much more! We ended up taking 2 additional classes and learned so much! We had no idea how much we didn't know until we got there. It was truly an amazing experience!

Our Most Recent Video:

Installing Our Tow Vehicle Braking System

We recently had a tow car braking system installed on our Jeep at M&G Engineering in Athens TX. M&G was recommended to us by another RVer and we were really impressed by what we saw! This system is unobtrusive, low maintenance, reliable, easy to use, and 100% Made in Texas! We share our experience in the above video. For more information about M&G and their products, please visit their website .

Our National RV Training Academy Experience:

National RV Training Academy (NRVTA), Athens TX

What an experience! We had no idea what we were in for when we arrived, but we are so thankful that we went. During our 2 weeks in Athens, we gained a ton of knowledge related to RV systems and got to know some fantastic folks! We cannot say enough about our experience here. These 3 videos only scratch the surface. For more information on their classes, please visit the NRVTA website . (And be sure to tell them that RV Texas Y'all sent you!)

How We Make Better Drinking Water: Berkey Water Purification Systems

Water is different everywhere we go. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes it has a weird odor, sometimes it leaves a ring of something around the glass. We know that part of living a healthy life is to drink a lot of water, but that can be tough when the water is always changing. So we decided to buy a Travel Berkey for our RV. In this video, we share our experience with our Travel Berkey and how we secure it for travel. You can see more about our thoughts about Berkey on our website .
