This is my favorite podcast. I have been listening for years, and now Ken and Martha feel like friends. I enjoy hearing from them whether they’re discussing new gadgets, RVing, or other trips. Their journeys are always interesting to hear about and imagine from home.
First, let me state that this review is long overdue. I follow a significant number of podcasts, including several RV-related shows. Of the library on hand, I listen to a select number as time allows. Suffice it to say, the RV Navigator always goes to the top of my list when Ken and Martha release their monthly show.
Ken is a fount of RV knowledge - he’s been doing this a long time. I am continually impressed with his technical knowledge and he plays a great straight man to Martha’s witty commentary and punchlines. While their shows are usually around 60 minutes in length, each one goes by too fast and then it’s another month of waiting for the next show to hit the “Latest Episodes” listing.
Note that the couple can and do occasionally venture in to discussing other travel experiences, including cruising. While I’m not necessarily a fan of cruise travel (particularly in the age of COVID), Ken and Martha seem to make that topic interesting.
So, here’s to this erudite pair of inveterate travelers. Fans are fortunate that these young-at-heart travel veterans have done so many shows (now at 204, I believe) so listening to back-dated programs can help fill some of the air time between new episodes.
We look forward to another 200 episodes, Ken and Martha. No matter what interesting travel upon which you embark, we listeners can vicariously enjoy your traversing of highways, oceans, trails, or even your backyard in Chicago. And you never know… you may soon be broadcasting from your mobile studio in a campground near me!
I have listened to every episode since the Fall, 2014. I love Martha’s and Ken’s banter. I have learned a great deal about RVing and travel, including technology and apps associated with RVing. In addition, I have learned more about the world through their international cruises. They were both educators and they continue to be great teachers. Thank you!
We’ve been listening to your podcast for just over 2 years now. We enjoy hearing about your travels and the RV life style. I think the stories and information are a great help to new and seasoned RV travelers. Thanks for taking to time to do this each month. Looking forward to many more.
I really enjoy this podcast not only is it filled with a wealth of RV knowledge but we live vicariously through all of your wonderful trips/cruises.
They really sound like they’re enjoying life.
I listen to you during my long commute from work to home and you are the best if many that I listen to - I have learned so much from you and appreciate all your words of wisdom. Great show, keep it up
I look forward to the start of each month because it means another RV Navigator Podcast with Ken and Martha. They are such a great couple who exchange comments and talk through timely and relevant topics each month. The sense of humor and banter make me smile and laugh alongside them each cast. My husband and I are planning to travel via travel trailer for a year starting next spring and this podcast has brought to much knowledge and expertise to us. Ken also responded to an email I sent with my own questions. (Thanks again, Ken!). I also love that they are 100% honest and not sponsored so we can trust their opinions are exactly as shared - not bought. :-)
Ken and Martha are fun to listen to. They seem like such a typical couple, with outstanding travel experience and extensive RV and technology knowledge. I always look forward to their next podcast!
I really like the podcast and you guys do well to make the experience realistic, but it was hard to keep up when the Ken interrupts his wife continuously as she is making a statement. Not trying to be mean, just constructive...thank you so much for the information that you provide.
I always have to run and get my notebook to write down information given in the podcast. Thanks for giving us great information in a fun and entertaining way- you 2 are hilarious!
You both do an excellent job of producing an informative and helpful podcast about RV living. Every part of your podcast is super. But, lately it is getting more difficult to listen to your Podcasts because the husband talks over the wife most of the time when she's trying to say something. It's very frustrating and the listener can't understand anything either one of you are saying when he does that. You both contribute very important information to the podcast. So sir, would you please let your wife speak so we can hear her too, and get more from your hard work? Keep up the good work and thank you so much for giving of yourselves for all of us out here in podcast RV land.

I really enjoy this show. It's fun, entertaining, informative and also has great tips! I love the chemistry between Ken & Martha. Looking forward to digging into this podcast more!
I found the "RV Navigator" podcast recently while searching for information about Alaska. They had a nice series on the topic. As a full-time RVer for ten years, I already considered myself knowledgeable about general RV info. However, the hosts discuss useful news, technology, websites, apps and gadgets, with a bit of cheerful banter, so I am listening to old episodes too. International travel (by air, cruise or rental RV) is also discussed. I listen at 1.5x speed and have to hit the rewind button occasionally to write something down for further research. Sound quality is usually very good (episode 102 was a rare exception). Language is clean. There are no ads but I wouldn’t mind a few. Keep up the good work Ken and Martha!
Enjoyable, entertaining, and informative. Ken and Martha obviously enjoy each other and enjoy bringing their adventures RVing to their listeners. I love what you do keep it up.
I always get excited when I see a new episode show up in my podcast feed. Always informative. I have listened to several different RV podcasts but this is the only one I have subscribed to. Love the conversational style and information given.
This podcast contains RV related information. However Ken and Martha love to travel and tell all about everywhere they go, even if it is on a Cruise ship.
Ken and Martha love photography, biking, golf and touring all around the world. Ken will tell you about any technology that fits a mobile lilfestyle, Martha is technology challenged, so the interaction is informative and fun. This couple have been traveling together for a long time and their chemestry is anything but boring.
Good podcast, but most of the time is spent bragging about the latest stuff they bought. There is some good info about places they go, but would really like to hear more tips for actually using the RV and how to camp
Ken and Martha produce a great series of podcasts and I always look forward to the new shows. I have listened to the entire series, some of them more than once.
They have a wonderful sense of humor, offer great insights and make their shows well worth listening to.
Ken & Martha, Thanks so much for producing this podcast. Both of you have such a great sense of humor, which makes it very interesting. I also like listening to your opinions on the latest technologies and how they fit in to your RV life. I just began listening starting from the latest podcast (because of the more recent information), and I am working my way back. I also have a close friend that started listening too and we enjoy discussing your stories. I started with a travel trailer, moved to a gas Class A, and now have a diesel pusher. I can relate to many of the experiences you go through. If I someday end up at the same campground as you it would be a pleasure!!!
I just started listening and love the show. It's educational and entertaining. I am still working for a couple more years so I am enjoying vicariously all the travel discussed. Keep up the good work.
It seems that Ken and Martha have a lot more disposable income than most people that are currently looking to get into the full-time lifestyle. I like to listen to their stories, but they seem to be speaking directly to older, long retired full-timers. One podcast per month isn't enough to prompt loyalty by listeners. We don't really get to know you and it becomes easy to drop off in favor of more frequent podcasts.
We thoroughly enjoy this monthly podcast! Ken and Martha provide a wonderful mixture of RV life knowledge, geography, history, humor, and technology. Please continue to record your shows, they will be invaluable to us as we embark (next year) on extensive RV travel around the U.S., and Canada. We look forward to every episode.
Ken and Martha always seem to come with new ways to entertain and have products I have never heard off. We appreciate them sharing trials and troubles with their motor home. We also enjoy their travels and have nade plans to visit some of the places they went. Keep it up guys, another 100 episodes.
For anyone who travels in a RV, or would like to. I have been listening to them on my IPod for several years, as we moved from tent camping, to a small trailer, then a class C Minnie, now we are in a Winnebago Journey and are full time. Just got done listening to the January podcast while I walked the beach in Myrtle Beach at sunrise, this is the life! Going to take a look at staying in Texas next winter. I find everything they talk about interesting, especially the tech tips, I am going to subscribe to my first magazine on my IPad, had not occurred to me. Thanks again for being there every month RV Navigator, no matter where I am.
Ken and Martha are so interesting to listen to. They are smart , funny and obviously love each other. I listen to every episode and dream about the day when I might be able to wander the globe as they do. Definitely worth listening too.
I love this podcast and look forward to each new episode. The great interaction between Ken and Martha and their genuine sense of humor are wonderful. I have downloaded all of their podcasts and have learned so much. I listen to them over and over and never get tired of them, often listening while I am working on my own RV doing maintenance and modifications. So inspiring!
A great podcast for RVers or those who just want to be. Ken and Martha have a great sense of humor. I love that they are putting out more frequent shows.
I've been listening to Ken & Martha for over a year now. Very infomative, down home advice. No commercials, no product endorsements. What they talk about (gadgets) are what they use. Glad they are considering a bi-monthly podcast, as we need more!!!! Safe travels!
I love this podcast. I have been listening for over a year now. Listen to it going to and from work. It also helps during the winter months when we cannot get out....love it...love it....love it.
I just finished looking at the other rv podcasts, you are the best. I have been listening to you for 8 months and thought I would check your competition, you don't have any. I wish you were on once a week. I am a Apple person too. Thanks, Kathy
This is a very fun and informative show. If you're and RV'er, or interested in travel or mobile tech, this is a must listen. Lots of fun travel stories of RV trips taken in the US, Mexico, South Africa, New Zealand etc.!! Ken and Martha also have a wonderful sense of humor. The running gag has to do with Ken being a tech geek (like me), and Martha wishing she could be put into a state of suspended-animation until the gadget review is over. Funny, informative, and entertaining. SIgn up...
My husband and I hope to become RVers when we soon retire. RV Navigators has provided us with so much valuable information about buying, driving, living in, affording, and maintaining an RV. Their real-life RV experiences has entertained us, made us laugh, and given us insight to what RVing is and isn’t. We could not have gained all this knowledge through research alone.
I discovered this site this summer and we just did an RV Navigator marathon while camping (TT) in Old Forge and feel like Ken and Martha are friends. This podcast is easily the BEST RV podcast of them all.
