I started a new Facebook group. It's dedicated to the RVing lifestyle. The group will feature links to my RVTA YouTube videos, blog entries and my travel photographs on RVTA.MyPortfolio.com. Here is a link to my new YouTube group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/rvtraveladventures Feel free to join.
Are you shopping for RV accessories and must haves? This list may be a good starting point for many RVers. If you have any questions or comments, (suggestions too) send them my way. Prices do change. For example, the price of lithium batteries is dropping steadily.
Due to the CoVid19 pandemic RV buying surge, some prices have gone up. I have listed general prices below (March 30, 2021) plus affiliate links to some items. Please subscribe to my YouTube channels and this blog. I appreciate it.

In this video, I compare the current (February 2021) wholesale price of a travel trailer to the Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). I researched how the RV industry comes up with prices for their products. Feel free to contact me should you have any questions. Here is a link to the video.

Last month, I bought a new camera for my RV & Travel Adventures YouTube channel. So far so good. The DJI Pocket 2 is great at RV reviews and walk throughs for several reasons. First and foremost for me, it captures excellent stabilized video. I typically shoot in 4k at 30FPS and the video is sensational for YouTube.
This new version of the Pocket camera has a larger sensor. The increased dynamic range makes all the difference in image quality. I'm not saying it's Sony A1 quality, but it's good enough for YouTube.
Over the past few weeks I have been trying to conquer the camera's audio limitations. I've settled on using the wireless camera mic with wind muff. That way when I'm outside, I get less wind noise.
More videos to come. Her's a link to the channel!
