Storage, Space and Too Much “Stuff”

Storage, space and too much “stuff”… When I bought the Winnebago View I was so excited to have so much living area. So much more an I had in the Roadtrek. The big day came and I began the shuffle of stuff from one RV to the other. Surprisingly, there was very little that …

Storage Solutions For Every RV

Storage is always an issue for nearly every RVer. We always want to take things “just in case”. After all, it’s better to have too much than not enough, right? I know I’m guilty of that. I pack all of my storage spaces full of gadgets, clothes and other random things I may think I …

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!
