TRAVEL CHANNEL ANNOUNCES DESTINATION SUMMER MULTI-PLATFORM PROGRAMMING CAMPAIGN
Travel Channel announces today the launch of Destination Summer, a multi-platform programming initiative that embraces all the fun and adventure that the season offers. As part of the Network’s continued mission to inspire its travel-centric viewers, seven new original series will roll out this summer, and will be complemented by multiple on- and off-air programming events.
Destination Summer kicks off with “Travel America,” a week-long programming initiative featuring original series and specials that spotlight locations throughout the U.S. Beginning Sunday, May 20 through Friday, May 25, it’s the best of America, all day and night. Whether it’s discovering Kansas City BBQ on “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations,” uncovering exotic Hawaii on “Park Secrets,” touring over-the-top vehicles on “Extreme RV’s,” transforming a La Jolla, CA hotel-in-need on “Hotel Impossible” or discovering unusual eats in West Virginia on “Bizarre Foods America,” each program will evoke your inner red, white and blue pride. Additional programming events will run throughout the summer, from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
The seven new original series anchoring Destination Summer include: “Mega Mansions,” an exclusive look at some of America’s most iconic mansions open to the public, including a never-before-seen vault inside the Hearst Castle; “Xtreme Waterparks,” an action-packed adventure down some of the country’s most intense water slides; “Insane Coaster Wars,” an adrenaline-pumping ride that allows Travel Channel viewers to go online and decide once and for all which roller coaster really is the best; “RV Kings,” following the Dunkel family as they transform a myriad of recreational vehicles into tricked-out wonders; “Suite Choice” (wt), in which travelers get to test-drive three dream vacations in one city based on their budget; “American Originals,” following host Steve Watson as he uncovers and tests some of America’s most creative and coolest travel inventions and little-known destinations; and “All You Can Meat,” hosted by Chuey Martinez, as he searches the nation for the most mouth-watering cuts of meat.
“Summer is synonymous with fun and that’s why our slate solidifies Travel Channel as the go-to destination for entertaining travel-related programming,” said Andy Singer, General Manager, Travel Channel. “Whether it’s roller coasters, water parks or unbelievable locations, our Destination Summer event is bringing the world to you – whether here in America or the other side of the globe.”

RV Owners Like Lifestyle’s Freedom, Relaxation
There’s something about an RV, from tent trailer to Class A motorhome, that makes it more than the sum of its parts.
As reported by the Windsor (Ontario) Star, RV owners aren’t just looking for a place to spend the night, cook meals and hide out of the rain; they are buying into a lifestyle.
Ask anyone who has driven to the Northwest Territories to see 24 hours of sunlight, or has spent a spring or fall enjoying the scenery of Canada’s East Coast — a recreational vehicle is a ticket to a very different kind of vacation.
Ken Maines has been spending weekends at campsites since he was a child. His family owned a series of RVs, and as an adult he continues the tradition. In fact, he now works in the RV industry.
But Maines still takes time away from running Race Track RV in Airdrie, Alberta, to hit the road with wife Charlene and take in the fresh air of the great outdoors.
Maines says the RV lifestyle is about freedom, and it’s a complete 180-degree turn from everyday life.
“When you get to a campsite it doesn’t matter if the Flames lost or the Dow Jones dropped points,” says Maines. “The most important things become ‘what are we going to do this afternoon?’ and ‘what are we going to cook on the open fire?’”
He says it is a joy to be able to park in a beautiful location and go fishing, take a walk or simply relax by the fire. What makes the experience even better, he adds, is that wherever he goes, he meets people with the same priorities.
Not only is taking a trip in an RV a great way to meet new friends, Maines says, it is also a great way to get to know your family.
He says once you get away from all of those distractions at home, you can really have a chance to sit down with your kids and teach them how to fish or make a fire, or just talk.
One of his fondest memories is camping as a child and being taught how to whittle by his grandfather.
“Are you going to teach your kids how to whittle in the backyard? That’s not going to happen — they’re too busy with their Playstations and Nintendos or whatever.”
He adds that people who want to bring all of the conveniences of home along with them have plenty of options. Today’s RVs can include premium stereos, large-screen televisions, microwave ovens and everything else that might make a trip a bit more comfortable.
The RV lifestyle also provides people with the ability to go where they want, when they want.
Maines says instead of taking one trip that may cost $3,000, putting that money every year toward an RV allows people to take vacations, from overnights and weekends to weeks-long holidays, whenever they want.
He says there is so much to discover within driving distance in Alberta, the northern United States and the rest of Canada that there’s no reason to hop on a plane.
An RV owner can take a drive out to Lake Koocanusa one weekend, and then visit the Taber Cornfest the next; take a drive up Highway 7 in Ontario in the fall and see the amazing colours, tour through Quebec — and then do something completely different next time.
“The RV lifestyle is fantastic because you can stay for a day, you can stay for a week, you can stay for a month, or whatever you want.
“It’s whatever you want to do,” says Maines.
When you hook up the tent trailer or climb into the camper or motorhome and hit the road, memories are created.
“Things happen when you’re camping or RVing that would never happen at home,” says Maines. “Every day something happens.”
“I have so many memories of camping and RVing
