Top-100 RV-Themed Lists

Originally Published in MotorHome Magazine

Brad Herzog has been RVing for the past 11 summers with his family,
traveled through 48 states, logged over 110,000 miles since 1996, and
has also somehow found time to write three travel memoirs and maintain a
blog on GoRving.com. Suffice it to say that he knows his stuff when it comes to RVing.
As part if the 100th anniversary of the RV industry this year, Herzog
has compiled several top-100 humorous and enlightening road travel lists
that highlight some of the most entertaining pop culture references and
geographic locations associated with life on the road.
