405. Weight Distribution Hitches, RV Industry Dive, & Renting RVs is MASSIVE
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.
