The RV Lifestyle is filled with adventures. But most of us also experience some unexpected RV Dangers. In Episode 479 of the RV Podcast, we hear from 10 real RVers about the unsuspected scares they have encountered. And in each one, there's a valuable lesson learned. You can watch the video version from our RV Lifestyle YouTube Channel by clicking the player below. If you prefer an audio-only podcast, you can hear us through your favorite podcast app or listen now through the player below. The idea for this topic came from our new RV Lifestyle Community, where a post asks readers to share the most scary things that have happened to them on RV trips. The community had plenty of unexpected scares to recount, from road hazards to wildlife encounters to dangerous miscalculations. We collected ten stories on video and audio and featured them as our podcast Interview of the Week, which you can see and hear in the players above. But here are some of the many stories we collected: "Coming to a dead end road following GPS without a way to turn around." - Mary "The slide out started going out every time we turned a corner!" - Tony "Border police pounded on our camper asking if we were ok. Mind you this is in the middle of the night! They had a report of people being held at gunpoint in the park we were staying at!" - Penny Be sure to click one of the players above to hear the stories from our ten guests in their own words. Maybe hearing their tales of RV dangers will help you prevent something similar. As noted, all those stories were shared in our new RV Lifestyle Community group. So many have joined in the few brief weeks since we started this new RV Lifestyle group that we can hardly believe how warm, welcoming, and friendly it has become. But the big thing is how helpful it is. Someone asks for a suggested route in their travels. Right away, there are numerous responses with practical suggestions. Someone else asks for campground recommendations. There are numerous responses, often with photos. Others ask a troubleshooting question about something regarding their RV. Expert help is soon offered. Since the beginning of the year, Jen and I have been on numerous occasions each day. We love the instant private chat feature and have enjoyed meeting with many members. And we have already done several video live streams, interacting in real-time with different members.  If you are unaware of this new community, we quietly launched it right around the holidays as an alternative to all the drama over on Facebook. We still have the Facebook Group, which now has 280,000 members. But let's be honest. Something that big is pretty impersonal. There are a lot of problems with Facebook that I'm sure you are aware of if you've been a regular user, such as privacy issues, censorship policies, and growing nastiness on Facebook.  That's why we started the RV Lifestyle Community.  And that has created quite a buzz in the RV Industry. A leading industry publication headlined the story of our new group this way: "New RV Community Draws Thousands Fleeing Facebook."  We didn't start the group to protest Facebook.
