In this final summer mini-episode of the RV Miles Podcast, we share how bringing meals into national parks can help RVers stay later, avoid crowds, and enjoy sunsets and the blue hour. We suggest easy, flexible meal ideas, including tacos, one-pan sausage and veggie skillet meals; make-ahead soup or chili; no-cook “adult Lunchables" and more.

In this mini episode of the RV Miles podcast, Jason and Abby revisit past RV mythbusting segments from earlier episodes to see what still holds up, including whether you should buy an RV from Camping World, whether RV-specific toilet paper is necessary, and misconceptions about using Drano in RV plumbing (including cautions around waterless Hepvo traps). They also debunk bags of water with pennies to deter flies, discuss mixed claims about Irish Spring soap or dryer sheets for mice, and recommend sealing entry points, and dismiss the idea that you must be under 30 feet to camp in national parks.

This week, a deadly heat warning from Grand Canyon National Park after multiple hikers died in extreme summer temperatures, a New Jersey RV park fire that destroyed several rigs, and flash flooding that trapped campers at a Gulfport RV resort.
We’ll also look at @OutdoorsyRV 's rebrand as The Ride Platform, a new class action lawsuit involving Ram ProMaster vans used in many camper van and Class B RV builds, a new SuperSteer sway bar upgrade for Sprinter-based motorhomes, and AAA’s latest Independence Day travel forecast.
Plus, we end with a campground rescue story involving a camper, a pair of sunglasses, and a pit toilet — and yes, it’s exactly as bad as it sounds.

In this RV Miles mini episode (415), Jason and Abby share a special trip report from Redwood National and State Parks in Northern California, based on Abby’s weeklong May vacation with longtime friends Jenny and Grant. Abby recaps hikes and highlights, including Fern Canyon, Lady Bird Johnson Grove, Trillium Falls, Big Tree Wayside, Stout Grove, Grove of Titans, and the Newton B. Drury Scenic Drive, plus RV access cautions for narrow roads and small parking. She also recommends stops like SeaQuake Brewing, Hey Juan, McIntosh Farm Country Store, and the Sequoia Park Zoo’s Redwood Sky Walk.

In this episode, new developments in the Battle Born/Dragonfly Energy lawsuit against YouTuber Will Prowse, including an allegation that battery specs were changed online shortly before the lawsuit. We share the sad news of the end of Parkography (formerly America’s National Parks) podcast after an eight-year run. We share our decision to book a seasonal site for this summer, and in Fresh/Black Tank, we cover a Keystone Montana hitch labeling issue, criticize predatory “buy an RV because you can’t afford a house” marketing, and more.

A major RV industry CEO is stepping down in a surprising shakeup. Battle Born Batteries is taking one of YouTube's biggest solar influencers to court. Ram has a new package on its ProMaster chassis aimed at van lifers, and there may be a new rugged battery-powered Starlink dish on the way. Plus, the Forest Service has killed 30 different mobile apps, launching one new all-encompassing platform to replace them, though it's missing one big feature.

Plus, we wrap up our 4-day trip in the Noovo Plus with a stop at the Grand Canyon, Mather Campground, and a peaceful boondocking spot off of historic Route 66. Finally, our fresh tank/black tank segments touch on concert season, Mountain Gazette Magazine, and a heartbreaking insurance reminder, and YouTube content creators just can't stop attacking their own.
