A New YouTube Channel for RVers Where RV USA The new YouTube channel is the brainchild of Val and Russ Hicks, full-time RVers and Coast to Coast mem- bers. The couple is producing a unique style of videos for RVers and people who are pondering whether or not to take the plunge. “We’re aiming our videos at the RV community because we’re RVers—baby boomers like us who are looking for what’s next,” said Russ Hicks. Their YouTube channel went live mid-August. “Where RV USA” is a riff on “where (are) Russ and Val” and also, of course, the tie-in with RVing. The Hicks will release four videos a month, which will include a Great American Community video twice a month. I met them when they chose Front Royal, Virginia, my hometown, as one of their Great American Communities. In addition to featuring Front Royal, their home base was North Fork Resort, a Coast to
Coast affiliate.They visited many nearby destinations including the Skyline Drive, the Shenandoah River, Shenandoah National Park, and Washington, D.C., which is an hour east. Once a month, their YouTube channel will feature a Thematic Video. For instance, while visiting Front Royal, they drove to nearby Washington, D.C., where they celebrated the 4th of July and visited nine memo- rials in the city. Other themes for additional episodes include covered bridges in Pennsylvania, the waterfalls around New York, and gold mines in California. “The third kind of episode will be for the RV communi- ty and will feature various RV parks including Coast to Coast and Good Sam. We’re members of both. We’ll also include how-tos, and a variety of information about the RV life,” said Russ.
