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.

The RV industry is sending some warning signs right now. Dealers are openly talking about a “structural change” in the RV business as sales continue slowing, RV shipments fall again, and affordability becomes a growing concern for buyers. This week we break down what some of the biggest dealership groups in America are saying about the future of RVing — and why used RV sales are suddenly outperforming new ones.
We also cover:
• New RV solar safety rules coming in 2026
• Sun Communities selling off its UK campground business
• Major upgrades to Campground Views and Campendium

Vermont is proposing rules to allow dynamic pricing in state parks, with fees, minimum stays, and maximum stays adjusted by demand; Ford’s 2027 Super Duty drops the 6.8L gas V8 and the standard-output 6.7L diesel. GM is reportedly ending Silverado medium-duty trucks, and a Duramax diesel availability squeeze may come later this year. Grand Design adds a three-season wall option for Momentum toy hauler patios. Starlink raises prices on Roam plans and doubles standby mode to $10, and an Arkansas RV park fire allegedly started when a man tried burning snakes, destroying multiple RVs.

This week, Jason is in Flagstaff at Overland Expo West, and he shares with Abby his thoughts on how the show is actually really great for RVers. Maybe even better than traditional RV shows. Plus Starlink is raising prices again, big truck changes at Ford and Chevy, and more.
