Jeremy Puglisi, host of 6 Things I Love About My RV and author of the bestselling Where Should We Camp Next?, kicks off this exciting new series on the Go RVing YouTube channel by traveling across the country to meet RV owners and uncover the unique reasons why they love their RVs.
In each episode, Jeremy sits down with RV enthusiasts to explore six features of their rigs that make their adventures even more special. Whether you're a seasoned RVer or someone new to the lifestyle, 6 Things I Love About My RV brings you stories that highlight why RV owners are obsessed with their rigs.
In this very first episode, Jeremy meets up with his friends Bill and Nancy at a campground to talk about their newly purchased Flagstaff Superlite 529 RLKS fifth wheel. With two daughters—one in high school and one in college—Bill and Nancy were looking for an RV that would suit their needs as a couple while also accommodating their family during occasional trips. Together, they take Jeremy on a tour of their RV and share the six things they love about it, explaining how each feature enhances their RVing experience and makes life on the road more enjoyable.
Flexible Bedroom Space
As parents of two daughters—one in high school and one in college—Bill and Nancy decided not to go with a traditional bunkhouse setup. Instead, they selected a flexible living space with two opposing slides, each featuring sofas that convert into full-size beds. When their daughters join them on trips, they each get their own space at night, and when the girls are absent, Bill and Nancy can easily transform the room back into a comfortable living area. For this couple, it’s the ideal blend of family functionality and personal space, allowing them to enjoy a spacious couples' coach when they travel alone.
Spacious Pantry for Healthy Eating
Nancy, a dedicated follower of a whole-food, plant-based diet, explains that having ample pantry space was a must when shopping for an RV. The Flagstaff Superlite’s pantry offers deep shelving, allowing her to stock up on all the essentials before hitting the road. With this setup, Bill and Nancy can maintain their dietary preferences without worrying about finding specialty groceries on the go. For them, this pantry has been a game-changer, offering peace of mind and culinary freedom while they travel.
An Open Kitchen Layout
In their previous RV, cooking was more of a dance than a joy. They often found themselves bumping into each other as they moved around the cramped kitchen. But in the Flagstaff Superlite, the kitchen layout provides ample space for both Bill and Nancy to cook side by side without getting in each other's way. The separation of the kitchen from the living area gives them a true cooking space, where they can prepare meals together in comfort. This open and functional layout has become a favorite feature, transforming mealtime into an enjoyable part of their RV lifestyle.
Bedroom Nightstands for Convenience
While it may seem like a small detail, Bill and Nancy are particularly fond of the nightstands in their bedroom. In many RVs, a closet in that space can make the room feel tight and claustrophobic. But with the nightstands, the bedroom feels open and more accessible. Bill appreciates the ease of making the bed each morning, while Nancy loves the convenience of having a flat surface for her personal items, such as her phone and water bottle. It’s these thoughtful touches that elevate the overall comfort of the RV.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System for Safety
One of the more practical features that Bill loves about the Flagstaff Superlite is the built-in tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Unlike in their previous RV, where he manually checked tire pressure, this system allows him to monitor both pressure and temperature in real time while driving. This added layer of safety means they can catch any issues—like a tire heating up—before it turns into a dangerous situation. For Bill, the peace of mind that comes with this system makes it an invaluable feature.
Torsion Axle Suspension for a Smoother Ride
Living on Long Island means navigating rough roads, especially when driving through areas like Brooklyn and the Bronx. That’s why Bill specifically sought out an RV with a torsion axle suspension. This system, which includes bushings inside the axle and a welded frame, offers a more cushioned ride and a robust suspension, making their long trips more comfortable. So far, it’s been smooth sailing, even on the roughest roads, making this feature a key highlight for Bill and Nancy.
Bill and Nancy’s Flagstaff Superlite 529 RLKS has proven to be the perfect RV for their family, providing flexible space, convenience, and safety features that make their travels both comfortable and enjoyable. Whether they’re traveling with their daughters or enjoying a peaceful getaway on their own, this fifth wheel meets all their needs.
