The people behind RV Lifestyle
Mike and Jennifer Wendland
Fellow travelers. Curious explorers. Here to help you make the most of life on the road.
Hello, fellow traveler
We’re glad you’re here.
We’re Mike and Jennifer, the couple behind RV Lifestyle. For more than 15 years, we’ve explored North America by RV, covering over 250,000 miles and discovering what makes a trip worth taking.
We’ve found memorable campgrounds, driven remarkable routes and learned a few lessons the hard way. We share it all so you can spend less time sorting through advice and more time enjoying your own adventure.
Our story
A journalist’s curiosity.
A traveler’s perspective.
Mike
An Emmy Award-winning journalist, Mike spent more than 30 years working in newspapers, television and the NBC Newschannel network. He brings that same care to RV Lifestyle: asking good questions, checking the details and sharing clear, honest information.
Jennifer
A former TV producer, Jennifer co-hosts our RV Lifestyle content and co-authors our travel guides. She brings the practical perspective every traveler needs: what’s worth the drive, where to stay and what you can comfortably skip.
These days, we travel in a fifth wheel pulled by our Ford F-350, affectionately known as “the Beast.” Along the way, we meet fellow RVers at campgrounds, RV shows and rallies. Those conversations help shape what we create next.
Behind every guide
The resources we wanted
for our own travels.
When we started RVing, useful planning information was often scattered across websites or too general to help. So we began putting together the resources we wished we’d had.
That grew into our travel guides, planning apps and checklists. Each one combines careful research with experience from the road and the questions our RV community asks us.
Stories from the road
On the RV Lifestyle Podcast, we talk about the destinations, experiences and news that matter to RVers. Join us for the Monday News Edition and Wednesday Stories from the Road.
