Episode Details
Back to Episodes427. California's Wine Country in the Pebble Flow
Description
Jason and Abby recap a "Road Tested" trip through California wine country in the all-electric Pebble Flow travel trailer, using Harvest Hosts stops near Glen Ellen, Ukiah (Nelson Family Vineyard), and Redwood Valley (Testa Vineyards). Standout Pebble features include iPad-controlled maneuvering, Magic Hitch auto-coupling, exceptional stabilization, privacy glass, and an optional Jackery 2,000W ground-deploy solar system that helped run A/C in 100+ degree heat! A sudden wildfire near Ukiah forces a reroute as Highway 101 closes, leading to a long scenic drive through Napa and an overnight at a crowded Marin-area RV park where the remote parking feature helps again.
