Keep Your RV Cooler This Summer

I worked last Saturday and it was a terrific day at PPL. Customers and employees were all in great moods! People were buying new RVs and we got some amazing new consignments. I couldn’t believe it! Not one person came to me with something to weigh in on! What did I deserve to get this …

Paddling The Texas Water Trails

Have you ever considered paddling the Texas water trails? If not, you should and here’s why. One of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever had in my life was kayaking bioluminescent lagoon waters in Puerto Rico. I can’t even describe to you how surreal and magical that was…I’m talking about the kayaking here, not the …

Fairy RV Gardens

I love RVs! That’s not really a surprise now, is it? I also love all the cutesy “stuff” that goes along with the RV lifestyle. Again, not really a surprise. A few years ago, I took an old washtub and made it into a Fairy Garden. More specifically, I made it into a Fairy RV …

The Meeting With Hurricane Harvey We Didn’t Want to Have

In a word, Mother Nature is: “Unpredictable”. She can wreak havoc and at the same time also teach you about resolve and even go as far as to restore your faith in humanity. In the last week, Hurricane Harvey has brought a keen awareness of feelings to my life. As I waited to see where …

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 …

Texas, Our Texas!

Q: You have 20 people in a room, how can you tell which one is the Texan? A: You won’t need to, they’ll tell you themselves! Ain’t that the truth? I’m so proud to have been lucky enough to be born here, lucky enough to stay here, and lucky enough to have a great business …

The 2016 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards

For those of you who may not know, I was fortunate this year to be a regional winner in the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year awards for the Gulf Coast of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. What an honor to be nominated and an even greater honor to be a winner and have the …

Exercise Your Right To Vote

As I listened to the news yesterday, I was reminded that today is the last day for early voting. It’s hard to imagine, but the election is Tuesday. I have heard so many of our customers enjoying a cup of coffee in the break room discussing the pros and cons of this election and I …

RV to NM for BBQ!

Now you may not think that “New Mexico” and “BBQ” would be a natural fit. When one thinks of New Mexico and food, you naturally think of chiles and spicy, flavorful, and….different…Mexican Food. Well if there’s one thing you’ll find a bunch of in New Mexico, it’s ex-pats from Texas! And since Texans like their …

RV To Langtry, TX!

Some of y’all may remember a wonderful Paul Newman movie from 1972 called The Life And Times Of Judge Roy Bean. It was about this rough around the edges semi-rascal huckster named Roy Bean who left San Antonio to sell whiskey to the railroad workers who were building the Southern Pacific. Through a series of …

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!
