The National Park Service could be headed for a major restructuring that would change how parks across the country are managed. In this week’s National Parks and public lands news roundup, we break down the proposed “hub and spoke” management model, what it could mean for smaller park units, and why former park leaders are raising concerns. Also this week: • Grand Canyon is still recovering from major flash flooding and damage to the North Kaibab Trail • Investigators say Yosemite’s Dome Fire was started by an abandoned campfire • A tour company is suing over the new $100 international visitor fee at major national parks • Major League Baseball has abandoned its idea of staging a game inside Grand Teton National Park • Yellowstone Superintendent Cam Sholly is leaving the National Park Service after nearly eight years • Arches National Park has launched a new shuttle connecting Moab with the park • Three bears in the Grand Teton/Jackson Hole area were euthanized after becoming conditioned to human food • Alcatraz Island will temporarily close this fall for major dock repairs Find all the RV parts and gear you need at etrailer: https://www.etrailer.com/vehicle-finder.aspx?etam=p0001 Mile Marker Membership: https://rvmiles.com/milemarkers ****************************** Connect with RV Miles: RV Miles Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rvmiles Shop the RV Miles Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/rvmiles RV Miles Mailing List: https://rvmiles.com/mailinglist Mile Marker Membership: https://rvmiles.com/milemarkers 00:00 Headlines 00:34 Chiricahua Becomes National Park 01:40 NPS Shakeup 04:00 Grand Canyon Flood Recovery 06:05 Sponsor Break 06:56 Yosemite Fire 07:49 International Fee Lawsuit 09:51 MLB Game Nixed 11:51 Subscribe and Share 12:59 Yellowstone Leadership Change 14:16 Arches Shuttle Launch 15:55 Fed Bear Dead Bear 17:33 Alcatraz Closure 18:25 Wrap Up and Thanks #NationalParks #NationalParkService #PublicLands #Yosemite #GrandCanyon #GrandTeton #Yellowstone #RVMiles

The RV industry is gathering in Elkhart, Indiana, this week to show dealers the newest RVs for the coming model year — but they're doing it against a pretty rough backdrop. New RV shipments fell another 16.4% in August and are now down 14.2% for the year. We break down what those numbers actually mean, which RV categories are getting hit hardest, and why this year's Elkhart Open House matters so much for manufacturers. Also in this week's RV and camping news: • Campground prices have fallen for the third consecutive month • Gas prices finally stopped climbing, while diesel dropped slightly • President Trump is considering restrictions on U.S. diesel exports • Forest River has launched a new financial-services company, including a home-equity product that could let qualified buyers finance an RV using equity in their house • Ford has temporarily halted F-150 production at its Dearborn Truck Plant because of a supplier shortage ****************************** Connect with RV Miles: RV Miles Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rvmiles Shop the RV Miles Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/rvmiles RV Miles Mailing List: https://rvmiles.com/mailinglist Mile Marker Membership: https://rvmiles.com/milemarkers
This week, we dive into a few RV-industry-focused topics, including the aftermath of this year's big Hershey RV Show, and some new wild info that has surfaced about the pending Lippert-Patrick merger. Plus, someone hase been poisoning trees on the shores of Lake Tahoe with diesel fuel, and why do campgrounds focus on fees instead of discounts?

The Hershey RV Show wrapped with attendance down about 5%, but dealers and manufacturers reported surprisingly strong sales and a positive mood, with demand shifting more toward towables. Major RV debuts included the Brinkley Model R fifth wheel, the return of DRV Mobile Suites, Forest River’s Lucent and Sommar Class B vans and Coachmen Teleos travel trailer, Pleasure-Way’s first travel trailer (Everbound), Winnebago’s compact Elora/Resa Class C, and the ultra-luxury Cornerstone Series 6 diesel pusher; Liquified RV also rebranded as Prime RV and launched the Gravity sewer hose. GM has announced upgraded 2027 half-ton engines and trailering tech, plus teased an 8.3L Duramax “Mongoose” for HD trucks. The FTC clarified all-in price advertising rules for required dealer fees and discounts, Thor discussed affordability and flat 2027 expectations, and fuel prices continued rising. @rvgearandfar : https://www.youtube.com/@rvgearandfar ****************************** Connect with RV Miles: RV Miles Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rvmiles Shop the RV Miles Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/rvmiles RV Miles Mailing List: https://rvmiles.com/mailinglist Mile Marker Membership: https://rvmiles.com/milemarkers 00:00 Hershey Show Highlights 00:42 Sales Mood Check 03:15 Sponsor Message 04:00 Biggest RV Debuts 09:53 Liquified Rebrand 10:32 Mile Markers 11:10 GM Half Ton Upgrades 14:16 Mongoose Duramax Tease 15:31 FTC Pricing Rules 18:07 Thor Affordability Focus 19:37 Fuel Price Surge 20:11 Wrap Up and Thanks
Diesel prices are surging again, and the government’s latest forecast suggests the pain at the pump could continue well into 2027. Plus, THOR Industries is making one of the biggest changes to the way it operates its RV companies in decades, while several manufacturers are making big moves in the high-end fifth-wheel market. We also take a closer look at the new Brinkley Model R, including its massive independent suspension and the decision to move the air conditioners off the roof. Plus, Ford has recalled more than 223,000 F-150s, Roadmaster has an important Nighthawk tow bar recall, and Wyoming is preparing a new certification requirement for RVs and trailers traveling over Teton Pass. Let us know what you think about this week’s stories in the comments! 🚽 LIQUIFIED RV TOILET TREATMENT Liquified is made by RVers for RVers and helps break down waste and toilet paper, fight odors, prevent clogs, and keep tank sensors cleaner.

It also eliminates rooftop air conditioners, allowing Brinkley to raise the roof of the RV while keeping the overall height around 13 feet 4 inches. Axiom has already taken a similar approach, and we have some thoughts about the continuing trend toward increasingly enormous fifth wheels. ✨ ALLIANCE AURUM: Alliance RV has finally given a name to its upcoming ground-up luxury fifth-wheel project. The Aurum is scheduled to make its debut in October. ⚠️ F-150 RECALL: Ford is recalling more than 223,000 F-150s because a fuel tank strap may not be properly secured, potentially allowing the tank to leak or even detach. ⚠️ NIGHTHAWK TOW BAR RECALL: Roadmaster has issued a safety recall involving certain Nighthawk tow bars with serial numbers 15000 through 20843. If you own one, check the recall information linked above before towing. 🏔️ TETON PASS: Wyoming is developing a new WY22 Safe Pass program that will require people driving RVs or towing trailers over Teton Pass to complete an annual online self-certification program.

Kansas City might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think about RV destinations—but it should be. This week, we’re taking you to one of our favorite cities in the country and sharing how to visit Kansas City by RV. Abby grew up in KC, we’ve spent a lot of time there over the years, and we’re covering some of our favorite places to camp, eat, explore, and experience the city. We start with one of our favorite RV camping options near Kansas City, then head into Independence for Harry S. Truman history before exploring Union Station, Crown Center, the National WWI Museum and Memorial, Country Club Plaza, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Swope Park, the Kansas City Zoo, the West Bottoms, and more. And of course, you can’t talk about Kansas City without talking about barbecue. We share two very different KC barbecue recommendations—from the old-school institution Arthur Bryant’s to the more modern Q39—plus one of our favorite spots for live Kansas City jazz. Then, in this week’s black tank and fresh tank, Jason has some thoughts about just how BIG fifth wheels are becoming after getting a look at the new Brinkley Model R—and one design choice he thinks other RV manufacturers should be paying attention to. @JoshtheRVNerd 's tour of the @BrinkleyRV Model R: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44dRR9ZzyvI Get links and more in the show notes at https://RVMiles.com/424 Support RV Miles and independent RV journalism 👉 https://rvmiles.com/milemarkers Curated, not regurgitated.

Diesel prices have officially hit an all-time record in the U.S., with the national average reaching about $5.90 per gallon — and RVers could be dealing with elevated diesel prices well into fall and winter. In this week’s RV and camping news, we break down what’s driving the global diesel crunch, why diesel is so much more expensive than gasoline right now, and what it could mean for your upcoming RV travel budget. Plus, we’re getting our first real look at Boundless Recreation’s new fifth wheel, DRV Mobile Suites is returning under the Jayco Family of Companies, and several completely new RV lines are preparing to debut for the 2027 model year. Also this week: • California’s planned ban on disposable one-pound propane cylinders has been blocked by the U.S. Department of Transportation • A man connected to Carson Pass RV now faces more than 50 felony grand theft charges in an alleged $2.1 million RV fraud scheme • ATC is launching its first non-toy-hauler fifth wheel • Axiom RV is expanding with a new luxury fifth-wheel line • Coachmen has new and returning motorhome products coming for 2027 • Valterra introduces a redesigned portable RV waste tote tank Find all the RV parts and gear you need at etrailer: https://www.etrailer.com/vehicle-finder.aspx?etam=p0001 Mile Marker Membership: https://rvmiles.com/milemarkers @Thatrvtech 's Boundless Recreation video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBHauAgnuFQ&t=466s ****************************** Connect with RV Miles: RV Miles Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rvmiles Shop the RV Miles Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/rvmiles RV Miles Mailing List: https://rvmiles.com/mailinglist Mile Marker Membership: https://rvmiles.com/milemarkers 00:00 Intro 01:52 Why Diesel Stays Expensive 04:28 Trip Planning Fuel Costs 06:25 Sponsor eTrailer Break 07:12 Boundless Prototype First Look 09:01 DRV Mobile Suites Returns 10:14 New 2027 RV Lines Teased 12:52 Support RV Miles 13:30 Propane Bottle Ban Blocked 16:00 Dealership Fraud Charges 17:32 Valterra Tote Tank Upgrade 19:18 Wrap Up and Subscribe
The Hershey RV Show is looking a LOT more interesting this year. After several years when the show felt heavier on closeouts than big reveals, manufacturers are bringing a surprising number of new RVs and major debuts—including the Forest River Teleos, Tiffin Cornerstone, Brinkley Model R, Winnebago motorhomes, and plenty more. We break down what’s coming to Hershey, why manufacturers may finally be showing more of their newest products there, and why this year's show could change how we cover RV show season in the future. Then Brooks Smothers joins us for the return of the See America podcast! The entire new season is available now, featuring the fascinating stories behind destinations and road trips across the country. We preview the Alaska Highway, the massive and mysterious “City” art installation hidden in the Nevada desert, the Spruce Goose, Route 66 as it celebrates its 100th anniversary, and more. Plus, we share what’s next for RV Miles Road Tested—including Bowlus, Pebble and Pinnacles National Park—Jason has some takeaways from Overland Expo Mountain West, and later in the show we dig into the painful rise in diesel prices and what it could mean for RV travel.
