Today we're taking an extended journey to Hot Springs National Park, which we touched on briefly way back on Episode 1 of the RV Miles podcast. Hot Springs National Park is a wonderful destination for rest,\xa0rejuvenation, history and a bit of architecture gazing. It's definitely not what you'd expect.\nWe also talk RV shows \u2014 what makes them such a great place to shop for RVs or just explore what kind of RV you are looking for. And in the news, we've got more camping world acquisitions, pick-up truck wars, an investigation of Goodyear tire bombs, and the 2018 fuel price outlook.\xa0\nSponsors:\nSponsor: RV Health \u2014\xa0RV Health\u2019s online doctors can write prescriptions and even act as your primary care physician.

It resembles a historic site a bit more than your traditional national park, but we think there a plenty of reasons it deserves the name.\xa0\nVisit the National Park Service's website to get started planning your journey, and find out about the historic Fordyce Bathhouse, which is the NPS visitor's center, and the trails and scenic drives nearby.\xa0\nThe Buckstaff Bathhouse is the place to get the historic spa treatment, and the Quapaw Baths & Spa is the place to go to get a modern spa treatment or to just soak in pools of hot spring water for $20.\xa0\nWe stayed at the Treasure Isle RV Park, which is a nice clean\xa0campground with lakefront sites, a pool, decent WIFI, and free cable for a fair price. They have a discount for Passport America members on weekdays.
