RV Miles Podcast

This week we're coming to you on location from the RV Capital of the World, Elkhart, Indiana, and we're visiting the RV and Manufactured Housing Hall of Fame and Museum, where you can see and tour dozens of vintage RVs. Plus we talk Cargo Carrying Capacity, weight distribution, and more. 

RV businesses of all types are bringing in record levels of income, we share some of the latest earnings reports - but campgrounds are struggling to get built as many counties put in moratoriums on new campground developments amidst this historic boom in camping. Plus, the Canadian border is set to open, but there's trouble, states with the most dangerous drivers, and more. It's time for this week's RV and Camping News.

Masks are going to be required in national parks again, even for vaccinated, people as the Delta variant of Covid 19 rips through the country. Wildfires continue their spread as well, pulling a blanket of smoke over much of North America. RV dealership chains are gobbling up independent dealers - we’ll talk about what that means for buyers. An electric truck manufacturer has been indicted for misleading investors by making up virtually everything about the company’s trucks and cobbling together fake prototypes out of parts of other vehicles. The Elkhart, Indiana RV capital is making a big expansion across the state’s northern border into Michigan, and a new campground coming to Louisiana is turning heads - it’s motto?  ‘Bring your house and share your spouse.’

It’s time for the latest in RV and camping news.

This week, we share some tips to save cash at the pump and some driving techniques to get your mpg up. Plus, a listener question about figuring out where to begin, and a tip for keeping your RV's screen door kid and K-9 safe.
