Lippert Components and Patrick Industries are in talks about a potential merger that could reshape RV manufacturing. The Bureau of Land Management is moving toward banning dispersed camping across nearly 14,000 acres near Zion National Park, replacing much of it with two proposed campgrounds totaling 230 sites. Ford recalls about 1.4 million 2015–2017 F-150s for a transmission range sensor issue and RAM recalls 65,000 2025–2026 pickups for an instrument panel software error. Fuel prices dipped amid Middle East developments, and several states announced gas tax holidays, while the EPA is issuing another E15 summer waiver. An Arkansas RV lot arson investigation, Blu Tech's new Waterstop leak shutoff system, and KOA's 2026 camping report showing shifting demographics and glamping growth.

406. Report Shows Big Drop In RV Ownership, Camping Participation
2026/04/19
In this episode of the RV Miles Podcast, Jason and Abby discuss severe spring storms and the importance of weather awareness for RVers, especially around tornadoes and high winds. They break down reports that major RV component manufacturers Lippert Components and Patrick Industries are in talks for a merger, and how that could further consolidate the supply chain and reduce competition across RV construction and delivery. They also review KOA’s 2026 camping report, highlighting declines in frequent camping, Gen Z participation, and camping families with kids, alongside increasing costs and shifting demographics.

2026/04/14
February's new RV retail registrations fell 24% year over year, and motorhomes are worse... Fifth-wheel startup @axiom-rv reports strong early sales, expansion, and a workforce now over 100. The RV Industry Association approved factory-included TPMS on all new towable RVs starting with 2028 model year. Ford recalls about 422,000 Expeditions, Navigators, and Super Duty trucks for potential windshield wiper arm failure, and @OutdoorsyRV shares expansion updates and a move into autonomous taxi rentals.

2026/04/13
In episode 405 of RV Miles, Jason and Abby take a closer look at RV rentals and fleet operations on Outdoorsy, featuring an interview with Brent Ward of Escape RV Rental, an approved vendor at Disney’s Fort Wilderness. Brent shares how he grew from one travel trailer to 44 units in Florida, and more than 200 across related companies, plus how deliveries, guest support, insurance, and concierge services work for both operators and renters.
Also in this episode: a listener question about when a weight distribution hitch is really necessary, new RV registration data showing a 24.12% drop in sales, and an RVIA standards update that will require tire pressure monitoring systems on all RVs starting with the 2028 model year.

There’s a lot of confusion right now about diesel engines, DEF, and what the EPA actually changed—and in this episode, we’re cutting through the noise.
We break down the latest announcement from the EPA, what it really means for diesel emissions systems, and why rumors about DEF going away aren’t exactly accurate.
Plus, oil prices are climbing again, Buc-ee’s continues its rapid expansion, and there are some interesting developments across the RV industry—including a possible return of Winnebago fifth wheels, and a behind-the-scenes technology that could change how RVs are designed.

403. Spring RV Prep: De-Winterizing Tips Beyond the Water System
2026/03/29
In episode 403 of the RV Miles podcast, Jason and Abby share spring RV prep tips that go beyond flushing the water system, including doing a nearby campground “spring shakedown” to wash the rig, check seals, test smoke detectors, and more. Abby explains RV Miles’ rebranded, curated newsletter now publishing four times a week (podcast, news, national parks, and a weekend “Road Signs” edition) and, in the tank segment, they discuss a planned 2,300-site RV park near Abilene, a cougar under an RV in British Columbia, Abby’s bread-baking mishaps, and a recommendation to read Project Hail Mary before seeing the movie.
Ross from @RVTIPSANDTRAVELS has done a couple great de-winterizing videos, this general one:

NEWS: Gas Flirts With $4, Ember To Make Fifth Wheels, New National Park?
2026/03/24
Fuel prices keep climbing, with gasoline near a $4 national average, though oil fell after President Trump said talks to end the war in Iran are productive and the U.S. would delay attacking Iran’s infrastructure for five days. Ember says its next major project will be a fifth wheel, GM is testing next-gen 2027 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks, including a new small-block V8. The House passed a bill to redesignate Chiricahua National Monument as a national park, while a Mammoth Cave boundary expansion advances.

Fuel prices are climbing fast—and it could be a rough spring for RV travel. Plus, we’ve got the latest from the National Park Service on 2025 visitation numbers, a new overland micro-camper from @StorytellerOverland , wildfire closures in South Dakota’s Custer State Park, and a major accessibility upgrade coming to Indiana State Parks. RV shipments are down double digits to start the year, while Buc-ee’s—one of the most beloved travel stops in the country—has been hit with a surprising “F” rating from the Better Business Bureau.

401. Fuel Saving Tips & Places We Should Go
2026/03/15
In episode 401 of the RV Miles podcast, Jason and Abby read Mile Marker survey responses about destinations inspired by the show, and with fuel prices rising, they revisit practical ways to cut fuel costs: proper tire inflation, avoiding interstate-adjacent stations, watching state-line price differences, and more. Jason critiques an overbuilt, tightly packed campground near Iowa City, Abby calls out daylight saving time, and celebrates learning “piecemeal” is the correct term, and Jason fresh-tanks a new route-checking app, RV Route Finder.

In episode 400 of the RV Miles podcast, we celebrate nearly nine years of the show, and reflect on how the show and our RV life have evolved since 2017. To mark the milestone, we're offering up five RV trip ideas based only on places we've visited: a first-time RV trip to the Black Hills/Badlands, a spring wildlife-focused Yellowstone trip, scenic drives with Durango as a base including the Million Dollar Highway and Mesa Verde, a national parks power trip linking Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Devils Tower, Badlands and Wind Cave (plus options like Glacier or Theodore Roosevelt), and a slow-travel route from Astoria, Oregon to Seattle via Olympic National Park.

News: RV Stocks Tumble, Huge Ford Recall, Washington May Shutter 19 State Park Campgrounds
2026/03/03
Thor Industries — the world’s largest RV manufacturer — just announced a major corporate restructuring, grouping brands like Jayco, Tiffin, Keystone, Dutchmen, and others under new leadership structures. We break down what this means for the industry… and why it comes as RV stocks continue to tumble.
Several major recalls that could impact RVers:
• 4.3 million Ford trucks and SUVs recalled for trailer module issues
• 15,000 Ford Transit vans recalled for potential brake failure
• 3.2 million Weber grill brushes recalled due to ingestion hazards
• Nearly 20,000 Trek electric bikes recalled over rear wheel separation risk
Plus, 19 Washington state park campgrounds could close or see reduced services due to budget cuts, while Texas opens its first new North Texas state park in nearly 25 years — Palo Pinto Mountains State Park.

399. RV Owners Rate Their RVs, And Can You Tow a Real Trailer with an EV? Bowlus Says Yes
2026/03/02
This week we dig into a viral RVTravel.com poll asking: How well built is your RV? The results surprised us—and they raise a bigger question: if so many RVers say their rigs are “well built,” why does the industry’s quality reputation feel so rough… and why can’t buyers easily choose truly better-built options?
Then we’re joined by Geneva Long, founder and CEO of Bowlus to talk about reviving a nearly-forgotten 1930s aviation-inspired aluminum travel trailer and turning it into one of the most interesting luxury RV brands on the road today. We get into what “built like an airplane” really means, why lightweight doesn’t have to mean flimsy, and why Bowlus may be uniquely positioned for the future of EV towing.
Plus: Abby’s “black tank” story about everyday kindness (and a parking lot door ding), and Jason’s take on the way people talk about travel safety in Mexico—especially Baja.
