Full-time RV life with Stan Cromlish—aka the Wandering Gypsy—rolling the West in Bertie Bea with Rosie in tow.

Fueled by cowboy coffee, trout fever, and campground chaos. Real stories, strong brews, and a podcast from wherever the Wi-Fi holds!

Today was a quick and easy two-hour drive from Harrisburg to the Pocono Speedway, right in the heart of the beautiful Pocono Mountains. Being the first one to arrive for the FRVA Penn Coachmen Rally meant I got the pick of spots in the infield. Not bad at all!

But before I could kick back, Bertie Bea and Rosie reminded me that RVs don’t wash themselves. 😅 Pulled out the Wash-Wax-All and gave Bertie Bea a much-needed bath. Rosie? She’s going to have to wait until tomorrow—my arms are toast. 🤣

Thanks to Fowler Detailing and that ceramic coating, Bertie Bea is shining like a brand-new silver dollar. This week I’ll be recording podcasts, creating some great content, maybe even hopping on the bike for a lap around the Tricky Triangle. Oh, and I got a load of laundry done too—because RV life is all about balance. 🧺

Some days the drive is the easy part… once you actually escape the campsite. 🙃 Bertie Bea had to be delicately wiggled out between an overhanging tree, a fifth wheel, and a neighbor who thought my turning radius was their personal parking space. Zero dents, zero scratches = small miracle.

Then, halfway up I-81, a hornet decided to co-pilot. 🐝 Let’s just say my steering was about as steady as a shopping cart with a busted wheel until it buzzed out the window. Made it safe to Harrisburg East Campground, grabbed groceries, and realized the scariest sting of the day wasn’t the hornet… it was the checkout total. 💸😂

🚐🎶 On the road again… and today I had to call an audible worthy of Monday Night Football.

Planned stop: Glen Maury Park.
Reality: Music festival + first-come/first-served = ZERO campsites. 🎸🎤

So what do you do when Plan A faceplants? 👉 Fire up RV Life Trip Wizard. Found a pull-through at Shenandoah Valley Campground in Verona, VA in minutes, snagged one of the last spots, and rolled back onto I-81 with a grin.

Sometimes the road gives you detours… but with the right tools, those detours turn into the best part of the adventure. 🚍✨

I'm curious what other content creators use to record their Instagram and YouTube videos. I'm using an Osmo Pocket 3 and several GoPro 13s. What are y'all using?

The calm before the traveling this week. Getting to hang with friends fishing makes life fun! Can’t wait to see everyone at the Pocono Rally in Long Pond, Pennsylvania in a week.

🚨🎙️ New Podcast Episode! 🚨

We’re coming to you straight from Doug Simcox’s custom Super C at the 11th Annual Mountain Cove Cowboy & Cowgirl Reunion in Chickamauga, Georgia! 🏔️🐎

I sat down with Doug Simcox (Beyond the Chutes Podcast) and his partner Sam Swearingen to swap rodeo road stories, talk about hauling horses, RV mishaps, and why a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) can save not just your rig—but your whole trip. 🚛🔥

👉 Hear about:
✔️ The rodeo run that burned through 11 tires before it even began.
✔️ How TPMS caught a pressure drop before a long haul.
✔️ Real-world lessons on bearings, blowouts, and black tank bloopers.
✔️ Why data beats guesswork when it comes to road safety.

🎧 Listen now: https://rss.com/podcasts/wandering-gypsy-rv-life/2201039

If you haul horses, tow a fifth wheel, or drive a motorhome, this one’s packed with wisdom (and a few laughs) you don’t want to miss.

Some more photos from the weekend at the 11th Annual Mountain Cove Farms Cowboy & Cowgirl Reunion in Chickamauga, Georgia. Had a great time catching up with friends and just hanging out and chatting. Good food, Good Friends. Great fellowship! Thanks, Marlon, Bill, and everyone who made the weekend possible.

🤠✨ Fellowship, old friendships, and the cowboy way of life — that’s what keeps folks coming back year after year to the Mountain Cove Cowboy & Cowgirl Reunion.

In this 3-minute conversation, I sit down with Bill Harris, who shares what makes this event so special: reconnecting with 250 friends he hasn’t seen in decades, Cowboy Church, and the camaraderie that defines the rodeo life. 🐎

Bill reminds us that rodeo isn’t just about winning or losing — it’s about the try, the grit, and the lifelong friendships made along the way.

🌄🐎 Hey there, fellow Wanderers! This week I had the honor of sitting down with Marlon Harris at the 11th Annual Mountain Cove Cowboy & Cowgirl Reunion in the beautiful foothills of Georgia. 🤠

Marlon shared the story of how this reunion got its start over a decade ago at the Liars Cabin (now fittingly renamed The Marlon), and how it’s grown into a tradition filled with storytelling, rodeo memories, church service, and plenty of laughs.

If you’ve never been to Mountain Cove Farms Resort , you’re truly missing out—this place is God’s country. Between the cabins, RV park, rolling hills, and nearby Chattanooga adventures, it’s easy to see why folks keep coming back year after year.

Maybe I’ll see you at next year’s reunion!
