RV Miles Podcast

Join me (Jason) without Abby this week as I share the first travel days of 2025 in the Saber 37RVMiles fifth wheel. Abby had to leave unexpectedly due to a family emergency, leaving me and the boys to navigate the snowy landscapes of Breckenridge, Colorado. I'll talk about the challenges we faced getting the new rig road-ready and our first few days on the road, battling headwinds, testing the new power system, and more!
