In this episode, we chat with Melanie Garrido from Four Wheel Campers—a true adventurer whose journey from childhood camping trips to working for one of the most iconic pop-up truck camper brands is both inspiring and relatable.

With the unique perspective of an owner-turned-employee, Melanie offers invaluable tips and insights into choosing the right camper, maximizing its features, and embracing the unexpected joys of RVing. From unforgettable road trips to customizing her trusty 2017 Hawk rollover couch camper, Melanie’s story is a must-listen for adventurers and RV enthusiasts.
