RVing With Kids: It’s An Adventure

As most of you know, I love RVing. Some of my greatest memories are fun times in our RV camping with our daughter and son I law and their kids. The only thing I don’t like about it is the kids grow up and there are fewer family camping outings. When they were young it …

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!
