On the road again – RV NANA | LIVING THE RV LIFE

A New Lease On Life

I want to tell everyone a little story about how important it is to “Listen to Your Body.” I am here today because 7 years ago I did listen to my body and was fortunate to go to an emergency clinic and meet a wonderful doctor who really listened to me. Here’s my miracle story. …

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 …

The Kar Kaddy Is Every Tow Vehicle’s Dream

The Kar Kaddy™ SS is every tow vehicle’s dream and will tow almost any vehicle, large or small, without difficult, time consuming adjustments to axles or ramps. This means no bolts to tighten and no heavy components to reposition. With the tow dolly, your motor home stays in place while you go sightseeing, shopping or make …

To Pee or Not To Pee, That Is The Question

We all know the feeling. It usually starts with that little voice inside your head; “You shouldn’t have drank that whole 32oz. coffee. You know that means we are going to have to make an unscheduled pitstop”. “Shut up brain, I’ll just think about something else. You don’t control me! And besides, there’s no need …

Is Full-Time RVing Right For You?

It’s a dream that most of us RVers have. Selling all of our worldly possessions and heading out on the road full time. While it sounds like a great idea to many of us (including those here at PPL Motorhomes), it requires a lot of work and isn’t as easy as it sounds. There are …

Why Do You RV?

We spend a crazy amount of time preparing to go RVing. For some of us, we spend as much time at our jobs as we do our hobbies. There’s a lot of preparation in taking our house on wheels across the state (or country) for a small amount of time. To people who don’ t …

How To Let Go of Your Beloved RV

As you know, in March of 2014 I purchased the sweetest little 2007 Roadtrek. This became my little “gypsy mobile” and my way to escape. You see, for years Mike and I had always pulled 5th wheels. We had everything for all the family and our RV was the hub of entertainment at every …

Independence Day – The Perfect Holiday for RVing

Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays because it’s a perfect time of year to take my RV out and enjoy a few days with my family. But let’s not forget what exactly it is we’re celebrating. First, here’s your history lesson. On July 2, 1776 the Second Continental Congress decided to legally separate …

Visit a Hidden Texas Beach Gem

A lot of folks from out of state may find the Texas Gulf Coast a little underwhelming at times. You pick the wrong time of year and your favorite beach going spot might be covered in seaweed, or dead jellyfish, or tar balls…all the usual Texas beach killing suspects. But the reality is this: Texas …

RV Texas, Ya’ll

RV Nana, a native Texan, loves this great state. From the mysterious lights of Marfa to the sandy beaches of South Padre, from majestic mountains in west Texas, to the awe-inspiring caverns in central Texas and, of course, who can forget the Alamo; there is so much to see and do. Texas is a …

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!
