One of the biggest questions I hear when people are RV shopping is:

“How big can I go and still fit in national parks?”

Here’s the part most folks don’t realize…

Hey friends, sharing this here in case it is exactly what you have been quietly looking for. 🤔

I have a lightweight Viking pop up trailer available in Orange County that needs to go soon. My manager is very motivated on this unit, so I have room to help someone get a strong deal on it. 👍

Here is why I like this rig, beyond the fact that it can comfortably sleep three while staying so light.

Comfort ⬇️
• Real mattress, solid walls, and a pop up roof with true standing headroom.
• Small kitchen, fridge, and solid storage so your food, clothes, and gear stay clean and organized.
• It genuinely feels like a calm little retreat where you can reset between long days instead of just a place to crash.

Easy tow ⬇️
• Compared to most trailers in this size class, it is noticeably lighter and easier to pull.
• Compact, light, single axle, and well within the tow rating of a lot of non traditional tow vehicles like crossovers and mid size SUVs.
• Think RAV4, Outback, CR-V, Forester, Highlander, Pilot and similar, plus small trucks like Tacoma, Colorado, Ranger and so on. Easy to tow, easy to park, and much less stressful to move around or tuck into smaller spots.

Low maintenance ⬇️
• No slide outs, simple systems, and a clean interior layout.
• Sets up and breaks down quickly, so when you arrive tired or the weather is not ideal, you can be leveled and relaxing in your own space in just a few minutes.

If you can picture yourself opening the door, stepping into a cool, private little home base, and closing the world out for a bit, message me. I can send more photos, a quick video tour, and walk you through the current incentives while they are still available.

Best Fall RV Road Trips in California

Fall is one of the best times to hit the road in California. The weather cools off, the crowds thin out, and the whole state feels like it slows down just enough to enjoy it. If you’ve got a tow-behind RV, here are a few of my favorite fall road trips.

Pismo Beach to Morro Bay
Quiet beaches, sand dunes, seafood, and easy RV parks. Super relaxing and family-friendly.

Lake Tahoe
Crisp air, fall colors, peaceful mornings. Fewer crowds make towing and parking so much easier.

Big Bear Lake
Cool temps, mountain views, lakeside camping, and tons for kids and couples to enjoy.

Joshua Tree
Perfect weather, wide-open desert highways, unreal sunsets, and some of the best stargazing in the country.

Ventura and Santa Barbara
Laid-back coastal towns, whale watching, and beachside RV spots made for slow mornings.

Wine Country
Harvest season, easy scenic drives, and plenty of family-friendly vineyards and RV parks.

Fall is honestly the perfect season for RV trips here. The drives are smoother, the parks feel more peaceful, and every destination has something special this time of year.

If you want help finding the right RV for fall adventures, come see me at Mike Thompson’s RV Super Store in Fountain Valley. I’ll help you get road-ready.

Rainy Day RV Activities

Rain doesn’t ruin an RV trip. If anything, it gives you one of the coziest days of the whole adventure. There’s something about the sound of rain on the roof and everyone tucked inside the rig that just hits different.

Here are some of my favorite rainy day RV activities for couples and families:

Card and board games
Simple, fun, and always brings everyone closer together.

Movie day
Close the blinds, grab blankets, and turn the RV into the coziest little theater on wheels.

Comfort cooking
Chili, soup, cookies, skillet meals. Rainy days make everything taste better.

Creative time
Coloring, drawing, journaling, crafts. Kids and adults both get into it when the RV is all warm and quiet.

Relax under the awning
If it’s safe, sit outside with a blanket and listen to the rain. It’s one of the most peaceful RV moments there is.

Plan your next stop
Use the downtime to dream up your next adventure together.

Do nothing
Seriously. Read, nap, talk, sip coffee, just enjoy being tucked away together.

Rainy days create their own kind of magic when you’re RVing. They slow everything down and turn the day into a memory.

If you want help finding the RV that feels good on sunny days and rainy ones, I’ve got you. Come see me at Mike Thompson’s RV Super Store in Fountain Valley.

“Why Grand Design Feels Different”

When you’ve been around RVs long enough, you start to notice which brands really get it.

Grand Design builds RVs that just feel right. From the layout to the finishes, every detail is made for real people who actually travel and live in their rigs. You can tell it’s built by folks who’ve been there — who’ve camped, towed, and lived this lifestyle.

The difference shows in the quality, too. Every Grand Design goes through a serious inspection before it ever hits the lot, and it shows the second you step inside. Solid build. Smooth design. Feels like home.

And when it comes to service, they’ve got one of the best reputations in the industry. They actually stand behind what they build, which says a lot in this business.

Jayco and Wayfinder both make good RVs, but Grand Design sets the bar higher for craftsmanship, comfort, and long-term reliability.

If you want to see the difference in person, come by Mike Thompson’s RV Super Store in Fountain Valley. I’ll walk you through what makes Grand Design such a favorite among RVers — and maybe help you find your perfect one.

I had such an incredible time meeting new people who are excited to start RVing today, yesterday, honestly all week.

That kind of energy fills me up. I was grinning ear to ear, just genuinely stoked to be out there connecting with people who are ready for adventure.

Then someone said something that stopped me cold.

“Glad you’re having fun. Enjoy that while you can, because it’ll go away.”

And all I could think was, “then why are we doing this?”

Because if helping people step into a new lifestyle, one filled with freedom, exploration, and genuine connection, isn’t the point of all this, then I must’ve opened the wrong chapter.

I don’t do sales. Never have. Never will.
What I do is connect.

I help people find something real, something that changes the way they live.

Sure, marketing is fascinating. There’s real psychology and storytelling there. But for me, if it’s not authentic, if it doesn’t actually make someone’s life better, then what’s the point?

You can be great at what you do, no shame in that, but I want to love what I do because I believe in it. Because it’s good, it’s whole, and it’s genuinely for the people I serve.

And that’s not just talk. I live in an RV. I could literally be your neighbor one day. When I give someone my number and tell them to save it next to their AAA card, that’s not a pitch. That’s me saying, “Hey, you’ve got someone in your corner. You’ve got a hotline to real RVing help.”

Because they matter to me.
And anything less than that isn’t worth doing.

One of the biggest challenges for new RVers is figuring out where to stay — especially if you want those full hookups for water, power, and sewer.

The good news? There are some awesome apps that make it super easy to find great, family-friendly spots no matter where you’re headed. Here are a few I personally recommend:

Campendium – My go-to for real RV reviews and honest feedback from travelers who’ve actually stayed there.

The Dyrt – Great photos, easy filters for hookups, and a PRO version you can use offline.
Campspot – Simple, fast, and perfect for booking ahead.

Hipcamp – Unique private stays like farms and ranches that make every trip feel special.
Recreation.gov – The best for national parks and public campgrounds.

onX Offroad – For those who like exploring and finding off-grid camping options.

Sekr – A community-based app that helps travelers find safe, friendly spots and share experiences.

RVing is about freedom and connection. These tools help make the journey smoother so you can spend less time searching and more time making memories.

If you ever need help picking the right RV or want advice before your next trip, come see me at Mike Thompson’s RV Super Store in Fountain Valley. I’m always happy to help you get on the road with confidence.

There’s nothing like stepping into the RV that just clicks.
The layout makes sense, the light feels right, and suddenly you can see yourself parked somewhere beautiful, coffee in hand, with the world waiting outside.

Finding the perfect RV isn’t just about specs — it’s about how it feels when you walk through the door and think, “Yeah… this is the one.”

That’s what I love helping people find.

Why I Love RV Adventures That Go Off the Beaten Path

There’s something about waking up with the sound of wind through the trees and sunlight creeping over the mountains that just resets your whole outlook on life.

You don’t need a resort, a reservation, or even a big rig to get there — just the right setup, a full tank, and the willingness to chase open space.

For me, this is what RVing is all about. The photos you see here — the mountain turnouts, the grassy pull-offs, the quiet mornings — these are real moments that happen when you stop worrying about the schedule and start following the road.

My Kodiak Ultra Lite may be compact, but it’s got everything I need to live comfortably no matter where I land. With solar power, a simple setup, and a good tow vehicle, it turns any place into home for a night — or a week.

That’s the beauty of RV travel.
You can explore the middle of nowhere, stay connected to the essentials, and still enjoy a hot meal, a soft bed, and your own space under the stars.

It’s not about rushing to the next big destination.
It’s about the little pauses — brewing coffee while the sun rises, sitting outside in a camp chair with no noise but the wind, or just looking around and realizing… you made it here on your own terms.

If you’ve ever looked at photos like these and thought, “I wish I could do that,” — you absolutely can.

I help people figure out how to get started in the RV lifestyle every day. Whether you’re looking for your first travel trailer, ready to upgrade, or just curious about what it takes to make this life possible, I’m here to make it simple.

Come see me at Mike Thompson’s RV Super Store in Fountain Valley, or visit www.sosothervguy.com to start exploring what kind of rig fits your adventures.

Because the best part of the RV life isn’t the places you’ve seen — it’s the moments you find when you stop rushing, look around, and realize you’re already living the dream. #RVing #SoSotheRVGuy #FountainValley #MikeThompsonRV #RVTravel #ShopRV #RVAdventures

✨ Life between stops — that’s where the magic happens.

Sometimes it’s a quiet morning in a field.
Sometimes it’s a rest stop between states.
Always, it’s freedom.

The road hums, the sky opens up, and your little home-on-wheels is ready for whatever’s next.

💭 You don’t need much! Just your rig, a full tank, and the will to go.

👉 Thinking about hitting the road yourself? DM me! I’ll point you toward the right trailer and a few lessons I’ve learned along the way.

✨ The quiet side of travel life.

That glow after sunset when the road slows down and the world gets still.

Sometimes it’s a rest stop. Sometimes a Walmart lot. Sometimes a forest pull-off you found by instinct.

It’s not about the view; it’s about the pause.

That feeling when the lights flick on in the trailer, the air cools off, and you realize: this little space, right here, is home tonight.

🚐 Free overnight stops like these are the unspoken magic of RV life, simple, safe, and full of peace if you know how to find them.

👉 DM me if you want to know my favorite overnight apps or how I plan long treks without worrying about where to sleep.

Sometimes it’s a rest stop. Sometimes a Walmart lot. Sometimes a forest pull-off you found by instinct.

It’s not about the view; it’s about the pause.

That feeling when the lights flick on in the trailer, the air cools off, and you realize: this little space, right here, is home tonight.

🚐 Free overnight stops like these are the unspoken magic of RV life, simple, safe, and full of peace if you know how to find them.

👉 DM me if you want to know my favorite overnight apps or how I plan long treks without worrying about where to sleep.

So many awesome memories RVing from the east coast to the west coast… what a magical experience this has been over 30,000 miles in the last couple years. Now I get to help people start their journey or upgrade into their next home on wheels?! Excellent ☺️🫶

✨ Overnighting for FREE on long treks is one of my favorite parts of the road life.

You don’t always need an RV park or a reservation. Sometimes, all you need is a quiet lot, a level spot, and your own little space.

🚚 My go-to free spots:
• Walmart / Cabela’s / Bass Pro (ask first)
• Truck stops (Love’s, Pilot, TA)
• Rest areas (check the rules)
• BLM & National Forest land 🌲

🧭 How I keep it easy:
• Pull in late, head out early
• Stay low-key
• Trust your gut
• Leave no trace

📱 Bonus tools: iOverlander, AllStays, Campendium, FreeCampsites.net

💭 Nothing beats pulling in at the end of a long day, shutting the door, and knowing this is home for the night.

👉 DM me if you want a few solid overnighting tips or starter spots to make your next trek smoother.

🛋️ Cozy lounges with big windows + soft lighting.
🛏️ Comfy beds + hot showers that feel like real life.

💭 Imagine waking up to your favorite playlist, coffee brewing, soft light spilling in through the blinds—and the freedom to decide where “home” is today.

That’s the magic of modern RV living: comfort, without compromise.

Okay RV fam — I need your help!

I’ve narrowed it down to two dream rigs for my 2026 upgrade… the Imagine XLS 22RBE vs the 22MLE 👀

Both are perfect couples coaches — compact, stylish, and built for full-time life on the road.
But each has its own vibe…
➡️ The 22RBE feels more cozy and intimate, perfect for slow mornings and lazy Sundays.
➡️ The 22MLE feels open and homey — more kitchen space, more movement, more “let’s host a few friends” energy.

I can’t decide — so I’m letting YOU vote.
Which one would you pick for the next chapter of my RV life?
Drop your choice in the comments — and tell me why! I’ll reveal the winner soon 👇

Just got my new business cards in — and I’m stoked.
There’s something about holding that little piece of what you love that just hits different.

I get to talk RVs and travel all day — and do it at the #1 RV dealership in SoCal. 😁🙌

Every time I walk the lot, I catch myself getting jealous of the rigs out here. Every one of them feels like a new adventure waiting to happen.
And right now? Some of these coaches are priced like they’re daring you to take off this weekend. 🤯

After 4 years of full-time RV life in a small travel trailer, I’ve already picked out my next “home” for 2026 — a bigger couples coach built for long miles and slow mornings.

I love this lifestyle. The community. The freedom. Waking up to new views outside my front door whenever I want.
Now I get to help other people start their RV stories — and that’s honestly the best part. ❤️

✨ Why Travel Trailers Are Perfect for Weekend Escapes ✨

Friday afternoon. You close your laptop, toss your bag in the truck, and your next 48 hours are completely yours.

🚐 Light + Simple: Easy to tow, quick to pack, and perfect for spontaneous trips.
🌲 Anywhere Access: From forest roads to beach pull-offs—you fit almost anywhere.
🔥 Just Enough Comfort: Real bed, real shower, real freedom.

💭 Picture it: sunset through your open trailer door, campfire glow on your face, no schedule—just breathing.

That’s the beauty of travel trailers. They turn someday into this weekend.

👉 Save this post for inspiration next time your soul whispers, “let’s go.”

✨ Travel Trailer or Fifth Wheel? Which one matches your road vibe?

🚐 Travel Trailer → lighter, cheaper, and flexible enough for tight campsites + quick trips.
🏠 Fifth Wheel → spacious, stable, and feels like a rolling apartment for long-term living.

The real question isn’t which is better… it’s which feels right for your lifestyle.

💭 Close your eyes for a sec: do you picture pulling into a hidden campsite with ease, or setting up a spacious basecamp that feels like a house on the road? That’s your answer.

Both choices lead to the same thing → freedom + adventure on your own terms.

✨ 11 Proven Trailer Security Tips Every RVer Should Know ✨

RV life is all about freedom. But when you leave your trailer parked, peace of mind matters just as much as adventure. The secret? Layered security. Each step makes your rig harder to steal — and together, they give you real confidence.

Here are 11 field-tested tips every RVer should try:

1️⃣ Hitch lock – your first line of defense
2️⃣ Receiver pin lock – double up the protection
3️⃣ Jack + deflate tires – no air, no quick getaway
4️⃣ Hidden AirTag – discreet recovery option
5️⃣ Sound Grenade alarm – surprise noise deterrent
6️⃣ Smart camera (Wyze) – watch from anywhere
7️⃣ Wheel clamp – visible + effective barrier
8️⃣ Warning decals – “Alarm Protected” works wonders
9️⃣ Surveillance signs – let them think twice
🔟 Ground anchor + heavy chain – next-level security
1️⃣1️⃣ Front Blink cam + travel Wi-Fi + Jackery power – premium off-grid protection

💡 Pro tip: Combine 1 lock + 1 alarm + 1 camera for a balanced setup. Visible deterrents, loud surprises, and digital proof all working together.

👉 Because the open road should feel like freedom, not worry.

My Journey

As SoSo the RV Guy, I share my experiences here and on social media of living full-time in an RV, covering over 30,000+ miles across America. My mission is to empower others to embrace this incredible lifestyle.

With four years of experience as a full timer, I provide insightful guidance, answering questions about RV living, helping families, and first-time buyers here at Mike Thompson's RV navigate their journey to find the ideal RV.

One of the things that makes me truly unique is that this is truly a passion project of mine. Having the opportunity to partner with first timers and experienced RVers alike truly brings me so much joy! This is the life I love and you deserve to find as much happiness in it as I have!
