The Lost Art of Maps

The lost art of Maps. I met the nicest ladies at a show last weekend and we shared our passion for reading a real map, or looking at an atlas. I had forgotten the many lessons we all learned and taught our children about how to read a map. When I was a kid our idea …

TACO – Texas Association of Campground Owners Annual Shout Out

I just want to write a quick, “Howdy” to all of the great Campground owners I met in Conroe at the Lake Conroe KOA during the Texas Campground Owners Spring Event. This event was fantastic! We shared three fun-filled, educational days with vendors, park owners, suppliers and guests, all making plans to improve the camping …

Happy Father’s Day from your RV consignment center, PPL Motorhomes! Now, certainly I don’t want to take anything away from all of the Moms out there, our gratitude for you is undying.

My First RV Trip

This was sent to me by a reader and fan of this blog. Apparently he’s been around the RV lifestyle for a while with friends, some family and even as an element of his job; however, he never had the opportunity to actually take a trip for himself. Here is his open letter to me. …

Every year, all across America families plan reunions in hopes of staying in touch with those who can sometimes be on the other side of the US. Summer is prime season for reunions too. The weather is generally nice, kids are out of school and people have been saving up their vacation time. I know …

Texas Travel For The Holidays And After

I’m constantly amazed at how much the great state of Texas has to offer travelers of all types. You can literally find nearly every type of land formation and climate from the Gulf Coast the the tip of the Panhandle. That’s why I’m shocked when I hear people sometimes saying things like, “I wish Texas …

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!
