Hello! We are K&E RV TV! Our names are Kim and Erin and we are glad you found our page. We are best friends that live, work and travel full-time in our renovated RV named Lucy. She is a '99 Coachmen Leprechaun class C RV. We travel with our adorable fur-babies Zack and Cody. We began living the "Suite Life" back in October 2020. Starting off as RV "NEWBIES" has been challenging but also tons of fun! Our channel is about inspiring people to go out and explore the world around them NOW! We desire new experiences rather than material things. We enjoy going to theme parks, national parks, and any place with a view! Our goal is to be real and authentic and will always give you the honest truth about our experiences. Hopefully you will get a laugh along the way. We would love for you to join us on our journey as we travel and explore many different beautiful locations all around the USA! Please subscribe to our channel and follow along!

Been there, done that. Broke down off I40 for 2 days several years ago near Goldsboro NC. Had to stay at hotel but we weren't traveling with animals. Hate it so much for you. Good luck!

Bless your 💕 Oh my goodness..We can relate. Our vehicle broke down enroute to our cabin with food for the week inside! We had to get major repairs done too and thank the Lord our tow driver took us and all our stuff to the cabin. We were stuck there for 3 days but then finally got our vehicle...things happen..Glad you all were safe. Praying for your safe travels to New Hampshire 🙏 ❤️ Hugs to Zac And Cody!

I've been to Virginia twice before, the Beach is so fun and relaxing. Be careful of Jellyfish in the water. So pretty in Virginia. There's lots to do there, my favorite parts were eating ice cream, the beach, shopping, seeing Macy's the first time, eating sea salt fries at Wendy's, swimming in the hotel pool and seeing people play yard games at the hotel. Have fun at Hershey Park.

I know that had to be an extremely difficult time. Praying the rest of your travels make up for all you went through. So glad Hershey Park was so accommodating. Hope you get the chance to make it there someday. That’s the amusement park closest to us. Dollywood is our favorite, but we’re able to go to Hershey Park more often. You’ll love it there too!

Wow! Was that $6000 price including the 1200 to tow the RV to the shop and your fees to stay in the hotel too? Because if just $6000 to fix the transmission alone sounds to me like they poked you in the eyes with that price. Seems to be a little pricey to me.
