Welcome to the April 2020 issue of the RV Hacks & Humor newsletter!

Welcome to your April issue of the RV Hacks & Humor newsletter!  We promise not to use the C-Word too much in this newsletter but we do hope you are staying healthy & happy in the midst of uncertainty.  In our opinion, humor is the best way to keep a smile on your face and peace in your soul!

Scientific studies show that laughter helps (among other things)…

1. Raise serotonin and endorphin levels
2. Can lower blood pressure
3. Reduce anxiety
4. Boost your immune system
5. Elevate your pain threshold (except for the not-so-funny-bone)
6. Burn Calories (and who doesn’t need THAT right now?)

Lots of great reasons to get your laugh on!
