Brooks Smothers RV’ing Washington
When it comes to exploring Washington by RV, few people know the open road better than Brooks Smothers, host of the RV Out West podcast and the newly revived See America series. In this episode of What’s Your Washington?, Brooks takes us behind the wheel for a journey filled with music, memories, and a dash of adventure.
Brooks doesn’t just talk about RVing—he lives it. From winding mountain passes to quiet lakeside campgrounds, he’s covered serious mileage across the Evergreen State. But it’s not just about the destination. Brooks shares the soundtracks that set the mood for long drives, the unexpected tool that saved a cross-country trip, and even dreams up his ideal campground (yes, it includes swim-up bars and a Wenatchee escape).
His stories are packed with personality and practical advice, offering a real glimpse into life on the road—from the freedom it brings to the lessons learned along the way. Whether you’re a seasoned RV traveler or just RV-curious, this episode delivers inspiration with every mile marker.
Washington’s natural beauty unfolds differently from the window of an RV—and Brooks captures that magic perfectly. So buckle up, turn the dial up on the road tunes, and enjoy a fresh take on exploring Washington… one highway, forest road, and campsite at a time.
