Also in this episode: a listener question about when a weight distribution hitch is really necessary, new RV registration data showing a 24.12% drop in sales, and an RVIA standards update that will require tire pressure monitoring systems on all RVs starting with the 2028 model year.

There’s a lot of confusion right now about diesel engines, DEF, and what the EPA actually changed—and in this episode, we’re cutting through the noise.
We break down the latest announcement from the EPA, what it really means for diesel emissions systems, and why rumors about DEF going away aren’t exactly accurate.
Plus, oil prices are climbing again, Buc-ee’s continues its rapid expansion, and there are some interesting developments across the RV industry—including a possible return of Winnebago fifth wheels, and a behind-the-scenes technology that could change how RVs are designed.

In episode 403 of the RV Miles podcast, Jason and Abby share spring RV prep tips that go beyond flushing the water system, including doing a nearby campground “spring shakedown” to wash the rig, check seals, test smoke detectors, and more. Abby explains RV Miles’ rebranded, curated newsletter now publishing four times a week (podcast, news, national parks, and a weekend “Road Signs” edition) and, in the tank segment, they discuss a planned 2,300-site RV park near Abilene, a cougar under an RV in British Columbia, Abby’s bread-baking mishaps, and a recommendation to read Project Hail Mary before seeing the movie.
Ross from @RVTIPSANDTRAVELS has done a couple great de-winterizing videos, this general one:

Fuel prices keep climbing, with gasoline near a $4 national average, though oil fell after President Trump said talks to end the war in Iran are productive and the U.S. would delay attacking Iran’s infrastructure for five days. Ember says its next major project will be a fifth wheel, GM is testing next-gen 2027 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks, including a new small-block V8. The House passed a bill to redesignate Chiricahua National Monument as a national park, while a Mammoth Cave boundary expansion advances.

Fuel prices are climbing fast—and it could be a rough spring for RV travel. Plus, we’ve got the latest from the National Park Service on 2025 visitation numbers, a new overland micro-camper from @StorytellerOverland , wildfire closures in South Dakota’s Custer State Park, and a major accessibility upgrade coming to Indiana State Parks. RV shipments are down double digits to start the year, while Buc-ee’s—one of the most beloved travel stops in the country—has been hit with a surprising “F” rating from the Better Business Bureau.

In episode 401 of the RV Miles podcast, Jason and Abby read Mile Marker survey responses about destinations inspired by the show, and with fuel prices rising, they revisit practical ways to cut fuel costs: proper tire inflation, avoiding interstate-adjacent stations, watching state-line price differences, and more. Jason critiques an overbuilt, tightly packed campground near Iowa City, Abby calls out daylight saving time, and celebrates learning “piecemeal” is the correct term, and Jason fresh-tanks a new route-checking app, RV Route Finder.
