In this week’s episode of MC Fireside Chats, industry experts and content creators talked about pressing news from the RV industry and the Outdoor Recreation.

The guests highlighted the importance of the collaboration between influencers and the RV industry in providing education to RV consumers.

Phil Ingrassia, president of the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA), briefly discussed the reports on increasing gas prices and how it would impact travel and camping.

“On the RV and camping side, it doesn't appear to affect them. They will continue to travel,” said Shane Devenish, Executive Director at Canadian Recreational Vehicle Association (CRVA).

Mark Bennett of RVLove said that even though the increasing gas prices did not slow down their travel, one thing they’ve learned from RVing is the ability to make expenses flexible.

“In general, what’s great about RVing is so many of the expenses are variable. If your fuel prices go up, you can travel slower–less distance, or [maybe] stay longer, use campground membership that allows you to stay at places longer at lower costs. There are a lot of variables that you can work, ” Bennett said.

Ben and Michelle, from Intentional Adventure, who sold all of their stuff to do full-time RVing and are now in their fifth year of RVing with two kids, shared how they travel and enjoy the travel life.

The Intentional Adventure couple who advocates for homeschooling also talked about the education part of exploring National Parks, State Parks, and other outdoor recreation destinations and how their kids benefit from RVing.

The discussion also pivoted around accessibility to RV education and how crucial RV education is to new RV owners.

“Empowering the RV population is a big variable,” Bennett added.

National Parks Traveler's Kurt Repanshek shortly discussed America’s Outdoor Recreation Act of 2022. The legislation, if passed and signed, would allow public-private partnerships to modernize campgrounds and buildings on Forest Service and BLM land.
