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 …

Summertime Ski Lift Rides!

I remember a summer visit to Phoenix one year. When the friend I was visiting asked me wanted I wanted to do most I said, “Find 73 degrees!” And you know what? We did! We took a day trip up to Flagstaff, AZ and rode the ski lift up to the top of Humphreys Peak …

PPL Motorhome’s Big Celebration in Cleburne

It’s hard to imagine we have been open a little over a year in Cleburne (DFW area). We just celebrated our first anniversary with a big Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting, RV seminars, product demonstrations and more. To top it all off, we had tremendous support from Sisters on the Fly, an RV group that …

Distracted Drivers… Sheesh!

OK folks, prepare for a bit of a rant. Several years back I began noticing that one of the key features on I-1o was damaged guard rails. And I mean damaged. Like the idiot who hit the rail didn’t even put on the brakes, just plowed into the thing. And there is a little stretch of …

RV Nana Visits Oregon and Almost Stays Forever

Everyone knows that RV Nana is a native Houstonian with deep Texas roots. You also know that I think Texas has more travel opportunities than most States and more places with majestic beauty that will simply take your breath away. I love traveling outside Texas to see the sites, but I always return …

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!
