Alternatives to Spraying Yards for Mosquitos

Mosquitos! You hate them as much as I do. For some reason, they are attracted to me. People always like to say that it’s because I was sweet, but I’m Cajun and thought I would have been much more spicy. Anyway, I was thinking about how bad the mosquitos have been lately due to the …

Time to Go RVing, Houston…Pack Your Own Firewood Though

RVer’s, this is just a short friendly reminder form PPL Motorhomes. Camping season is right around the corner. The weather is warming up and Spring is here…it’s time to camp! However, I just wanted to remind every RVer out there that, if you intend on camping at a site that permits an open flame, specifically …

The Lost Art of Maps

The lost art of Maps. I met the nicest ladies at a show last weekend and we shared our passion for reading a real map, or looking at an atlas. I had forgotten the many lessons we all learned and taught our children about how to read a map. When I was a kid our idea …

Cowboys & Angels Retreat

I met the nicest couple last year at the Houston Garden Show and I would love to write something about their little piece of heaven in Kerrville. They have a beautiful ranch where it would be so easy to social distance and stay a long way away from others. It is located in Kerrville, Texas …

Summer = Snakes

I was sent this great article by Texas Parks And Wildlife and found it excellent information for those of us who LOVE the outdoors, but HATE the thought of snakes. Really, most of that fear is unfounded and based mostly on a lack of understanding. So, I thought I’d share a little education with you. …

TACO – Texas Association of Campground Owners Annual Shout Out

I just want to write a quick, “Howdy” to all of the great Campground owners I met in Conroe at the Lake Conroe KOA during the Texas Campground Owners Spring Event. This event was fantastic! We shared three fun-filled, educational days with vendors, park owners, suppliers and guests, all making plans to improve the camping …

Working From Your Home on Wheels

It really goes without saying that one of the best jobs you can have is one that simply doesn’t feel like a job. Obviously, for most people that isn’t the case. Many toil away in misery as they squeeze out just enough money to pay for the necessities of life. At the same time, others …

Shark Week Is Every Week On Galveston Island

It’s shark week almost every week off of Galveston Island. At this time of year. When the temperatures outside are soaring, many RVers turn to our wonderful gulf coast for a way to cool off. The breezes are usually great and the opportunity of dipping our toes, or whole bodies in the Gulf of Mexico …

The Best Texas RV Travel And Campground Guide

The 2018 Texas RV Travel and Campground guide is now available! Usually when I write a blog about Texas campgrounds, I generally feature a stand-out park that I believe is worth visiting. However, I think this time I’m taking a little different direction. The fact is that I travel a lot. I obviously can’t go …

I’m Diana Leblanc-Link, but most folks know me as, “RV Nana”. I have been with PPL Motor Homes since 1980 and have been fortunate enough to grow up with this great company. A native Houstonian, I have been blessed with years of wonderful experiences and memories of RVing with family and friends. My book of life has been filled with many chapters from joyous celebrations to overcoming sorrow and loss. I have one child, my daughter Jennifer, who blessed me with three amazing grandchildren, but my story doesn’t stop there. I have 5 more children who refer to me as their “Bonus Mom” and they have blessed me with 8 more grandchildren. One of my favorite sayings is “ Our family is bound by love, not blood.” I was a Nana long before I became RV Nana. I was blessed to have shared this lifestyle with my late husband, a Cajun from Lafayette, and his spirit will live on in all of us as we continue down the road of life. Having been a widow for several years, I surrounded myself with friends and family and was, once again, blessed in 2018 when I married Rick and our two families became one. Together we will continue to write the next chapters in this Great Book of Life.

My life with PPL has given me so many wonderful chapters, from sharing my RV experiences as RV Nana to working with the Texas Campground Owners Association and holding the position of President of the Texas RV Association from 2011-2013, so it’s easy to see that the RV lifestyle is my style. Watch for me on the road …I’m the one with the RV Nana license plates on my Airstream…and share your RV experiences with me. See you soon!
