RVing In Texas During The Winter

I see you winter Texans trickling down from the Great White North, and I would like to be the first say, “Howdy, and bienvenidos a Tejas!” As y’all can probably tell, the further south in the state you go for the winter, the milder it should be, but one of the joys of living here …

Packing and unpacking for a trip

When you pack the RV for the weekend, week or longer, make sure perishable items are stored in one cabinet. It’s so easy to stash grocery items in every nook and cranny of the RV. Keeping them all together in one cabinet makes it so much easier. I even use one disposable bag for all …

What Not To Do While RVing

A funny story….we were talking a few weeks about things that bother you about other campers. Things you should not do and do not want others to do. One of my customers told me a story about their outdoor kitchen. Most RVers have seen that the outdoor kitchens are, in many cases, outdoor bars and …

RVing and Fire Prevention Week

Every year during this time, I make sure to pay special attention to writing an article about RVing and Fire Prevention Week.

Going RVing is supposed to be a relaxing, fun filled adventure, but all too often the adventure happens before you even hit the road. I’m talking about trip planning.

Last weekend, my daughter Jennifer and I were at Leisure Resort in Fentress, Texas for their annual BBQ Cookoff event. This campground is one of my favorite RV parks and has become a big part of our family’s RV lifestyle story. With campsites, cabins, and tree houses overlooking the beautiful San Marcos River.

I’m Diana Leblanc, 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 the company. A native Houstonian, I have been blessed with years of wonderful experiences and memories of RVing with family and friends. With 3 children, 8 grandchildren and a ton of friends who I refer to as my adopted family, I was a Nana long before I became RV Nana.
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 car and RV, and share your RV experiences with me. See you soon!
