Would you love to Roam In Your Home and travel the country in an RV? We ask full-time RVers all the questions and get all the answers you want to know. We'll unpack their experiences and learn actionable advice to help you get started.

Today’s episode is going to be different from the others. I hope you listen, take notes, relisten, share it with others. This episode just may save your life.

Last week, there was a tragic event in the RV community and I honestly can’t stop thinking about it. I’m a subscriber to Drivin and Vibin’s email newsletter and they just sent a link to their latest blog post on their website that they published on Monday, June 24th. It was breaking news about a Missouri couple, Gary & Mary Weaver, that were attacked on June 19th at a Nebraska rest area on I80. Randy and I travel I-80 many times and most likely stopped at this same rest area. Dashcam footage from a nearby semi truck shows a 22 year old scumbag demanding keys to their Jeep, breaking into their RV and brutally murdering Gary by stabbing him to death then went outside and attacked Mary. The Hall County Sheriff’s office arrived on the seen to find the couple bleeding from their knife wounds and transported them to Grand Island Hospital. It was there that Gary was pronounced dead and Mary remains in critical condition.

While RVing can generally be safe, there are specific precautions RVers can take to reduce the risk of being attacked like Gary & Mary. Here are 15 tips to maximize your safety and help prevent being in a similar situation (click link for list):

If this episode even just has you thinking more about your safety and making it more of a priority like it has for me, then I’ve done my job. I know that Randy and I will definitely be making some changes as we travel. We’ve been full-time for 7 years now and because we’ve never been in a bad situation, it’s easy to get lazy and lax about safety. Hindsight is 20/20 and this is absolutely something you don’t want to learn the hard way. You will never regret being too safe, but you will never want to live with the regret that something happened because you didn’t make the effort to be safe.
