Alternatives to Spraying Yards for Mosquitos

Mosquitos! You hate them as much as I do. For some reason, they are attracted to me. People always like to say that it’s because I was sweet, but I’m Cajun and thought I would have been much more spicy. Anyway, I was thinking about how bad the mosquitos have been lately due to the …

Heated Water Hoses In Texas?

OK, I’m going to be completely honest, when I first saw the heated water hoses for sale at PPL RV Parts superstore, my first thought was “what in the world would we use those for in Texas?”. I mean, this IS where I do a majority my RVing. Boy, I have sure changed my thoughts …

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!
