RVing Tip : Let Me See Your Papers

RVing Tip: Let Me See Your Papers What documents do you need to take with you when you travel? That’s a pretty good question with “not-so-obvious” answers. Of course, you will have your standard drivers license, insurance and registration, but you need so much more. In fact, some of these items you may not even …

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 …

Hunting and RVing

When I think of hunting I am reminded of my dad and brothers and their weekend hunting trips. They would pack for days, my mom would pack all the groceries for them and they would head out on their big weekend. It was a bonding weekend for the guys. We had an older travel …

Independence Day 2018

Back in 1776…242 years ago this week…the Founding Fathers of our nation were still arguing and compromising, drafting and redrafting the document that would declare the independence of the 13 colonies from their King and Country, George the III and England. It is one of the most important pieces of political writing in recent history …

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 …

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!
