We were almost going to get a no-slide Springdale or a R-Pod from our visits up here.....so glad we got to see in person the quality in the Imagine XLS as well as the floorplan while in Hershey. We came home and put in an order with an RV dealership in the next town.

    I'm posting today because we've become RV Influencer followers. Every Sunday night, we're watching all the great RV influencers on YouTube. We don't want to miss anyone out there! This week, we've been trying to search you all out at the Tampa RV Show, then seeking your channel/pages. We don't want to miss the opportunity once we hit the road to attend a rally, go to an RV show (we made it to Hershey this year but didn't start following anyone until afterward), and find the best beaches, campgrounds, historical sites and RV tips and tricks. We're new to the GD family and can't wait to see where our journey takes us.

    If allowed, I was wondering if you are a YouTuber or RV Influencer on Instagram/Facebook, can you give us your name online so we can search you and your channel/page out.

    Although we intend to video/journal our adventures, we may never become an influencer ourselves. But, you never know!

    Is it your goal to be influencer for profit?

    HA! No. As I said, we will video our travels for ourselves and our family and friends. Our YouTube won't be private, though, and subscribers will not be limited if that's what you're inferring.

    I ask because there are people who post helpful videos just because they like helping others and there are people who do it for profit and/or notoriety.

    The intent of my post was to find RVrs who have decent channels for us to watch on Sunday nights to derive from. We are not interested in a business or venture when we travel. Most of the YouTubers we have found are at least 10-20 years younger than us and work too hard. We plan to RETIRE. We've worked enough.

    Welcome to the forum. You will find a wealth of information here and a LOT of people who are willing to help you ramp on regarding RVing, sightseeing, traveling, etc. Know that you can't ask anything silly or seemingly minimal. So join the fun! Don't be afraid to ask about places to see or routing here either - lots of members here have been traveling and exploring for a long time and I'll bet more than a few have been to places you are thinking of.

    Regarding "RV Influencers"... this is my opinion based on our almost 40 years of RVing......
    FIRST - read this article by Mark Polk... https://rv101withmarkpolk.com/2021/0...rv-influencer/ It will give you some sound advice from someone well experienced in ALL aspects of RVing about choosing who to listen to. And someone who openly makes it known they make money from providing advice and recommendations.

    SECOND - subscribe to Mark's YouTube channel and his newsletter (both are free).
    Mark is a long known and well respected person (IMO) who has the necessary experience to provide advice. He isn't much into posting about his travels tho.

    Then, please know that many so-called "RV Influencers" are pretty much in it primarily to make money which they do by sharing their experiences. There is nothing wrong with that. But you have to know they get free products to promote and are well supported by many manufactures. I suppose these days there is nothing wrong with that either. You just have to know their motivation. Just take their advice with the spirit it is intended - trying to produce hits on their social media platforms while passing on their life experiences to support their travel.

    Personally I've subscribed and then unsubscribed from many of the channels already mentioned and even more. But all of them have a few good nuggets of info somewhere in all their videos.

    I've narrowed my YouTube list down to these along with a few others maybe not worth mentioning....
    • https://www.youtube.com/c/rved101/videos
    • Mark Polk's web site
    • Big Truck Big RV (maybe not so much RVing but lots of good information over the years about towing, tow set-up, tires, etc.)
    • My RV Works (honest guy who actually is a repair person and provides really good advice about such things)
    • David Bott (doesn't post very often but is fun and does have some good videos on RV 'stuff')
    • RVer TV (Russ makes a lot of travel videos; many from the SW states but other states too. He doesn't push products, just seems to be a nice guy showing you around where he has been. He does have a web site too.)
    • The Fast Lane Truck (TFL) (If you're into following what manufacturers are up to regarding new trucks this channel is a must-see. Big Truck Big RV does some of this too).
    Thank you so much for this. Very useful.

    We enjoy you both, Mike & Missy! Loved your "Not Again" video last week. It reiterated our plan to check the RV not only before we leave, but whenever we arrive at our destinations. Safe travels!!
