The Florida RV SuperShow kicks off RV show season every year — and 2026 is shaping up to be one of the biggest yet. With more than 1,300 RVs, 35 dealers, and over 200 vendors, this year’s show is packed with brand-new floorplans, new RV brands, and some truly wild design ideas.
In this special RV Miles show-floor report, Jason breaks down the biggest announcements from Tampa, including destination-style toy haulers, Super C motorhomes with bedroom patios, EV-powered travel trailers, luxury Class A debuts, and major quality and warranty changes from some of the biggest fifth-wheel manufacturers in the industry.
You’ll also see new products from suppliers, innovative camping gear, and why this year’s show may signal a shift in how RV manufacturers are responding to consumer concerns about ride quality and durability.
More detailed RV walkthroughs and full tours are coming soon — so make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss them.

We just got back from the Florida RV SuperShow in Tampa — the biggest SuperShow ever — and this year felt different. In Episode 393 of the RV Miles Podcast, we break down the show-floor vibe, the new brands that finally made it in, the biggest relaunches and “comeback” stories, and why competition suddenly feels real again in the RV industry.
We also dig into the new “quality” narrative (frames, suspensions, warranties), talk through brands and models that impressed us (including @noovovans and the @EmberRecreationalVehicles Touring Edition return), and share a few hot takes on designs that might be polarizing… or just plain confusing.
Plus: the strange experience of walking into a floorplan that felt a little too familiar. 😅

In this week's mini-podcast episode, ten years after converting a school bus into our first RV, we look back on what that decision gave us — and ask whether starting RV life today would even be possible. From Wander Bus to RV Miles, this is a candid conversation about cost, timing, family, and how much RVing has changed.
