Meet Rv Families/Testimonials

Joe and Vicki Kieva

This married couple from Orange County travels frequently around the country in their 36-foot “diesel pusher” Country Coach. They love the RV lifestyle and visit RV road shows to give lectures about RV upkeep. Joe and Vicky have a web site (www.rvknowhow.com/index.html) that offers practical information through books, videos and great articles on RV use.

According to the Web site: “Joe and Vicki Kieva speak and write about the world of RVing. Although their seminars have made them popular figures in the RV community, Joe and Vicki are probably best known for their monthly RV advice columns. One, “RV Insight”, has over a million readers in the Good Sam Club’s Highways magazine. The other, "RVing Made Easy", appears in Northeast Outdoors, Camperways, and the four regional RV Traveler magazines.

Joe and Vicki refer to themselves as "RV travel junkies". Since 1963 their journeys, in a variety of RVs, have taken them from Nova Scotia to Puerto Vallarta and from the Florida Keys to Fairbanks, Alaska. They have explored all of the United States, driven the length of the Baja Peninsula, visited most of the Canadian Provinces, and toured six European countries.”

Brad Herzog

Brad Herzog is an author who’s written sports books and children books, along with travel logs. He and his wife Amy love to travel the country with their two kids in their 34 foot Winnebago adventure.

In Brad’s words: “After our first experience traveling in a house on wheels – back in 1996 while researching States of Mind – my wife Amy and I vowed that we would someday do it again. It wasn’t only where we went that made the ten months on the road so memorable; it was also how we got there – in a 34-foot Winnebago Adventurer, a John Steinbeck-meets-James Bond symbol of freedom and technology. The journey was meant as a means of enjoying youth, of staving off the mundane – of not gathering moss, you might say. So we named our recreation vehicle the Rolling Stone, and it took us everywhere from Disneyland to Graceland, from Little Italy to Grand Teton, from the White Sands of New Mexico to the Black Hills of South Dakota. Now, with the addition of sons Luke and Jesse, we are a family of four. Thanks to the generosity of the kind folks at Winnebago Industries and sponsorship by the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA), we are able to head out as a family in a house on wheels for a couple of months each year. We get all the comforts and security of home, combined with all the adventure and education of the open road. It is, as Mark Twain once put it, “pleasuring with a vengeance.”
