See before you stay - updates to Campground Views - RV podcast 358

In episode 358 of the Stressless Camping RV Podcast, hosts Tony and Peggy welcome back Mark Kett from Campground Views for a deep dive into the platform's major new updates. The team celebrates the launch of a completely rebuilt, AI-powered Campground Views website that now offers RV-safe routing, real-time reservation alerts, a passport program for tracking favorite sites, and a groundbreaking AI booking assistant. Mark shares how the platform is leveraging its 3,600+ virtual tours—now enhanced with AI-driven site compatibility filtering and still-image previews—to help RVers avoid common pitfalls like ill-fitting sites or unexpected tree coverage. The hosts also reflect on their recent trip in a used Volkswagen ID electric vehicle, which proved surprisingly stress-free despite initial skepticism, and highlight their reliable ABC Upfitters solar and lithium system. A new hydration gadget from Dometic, the Go Hydration Jug, is praised for its convenience and portability, especially for road trips without a trailer. The episode closes with a call for listener input on expanding gas station coverage on Campground Views and previews upcoming content on de-winterizing RVs and Route 66 adventures.
