Are RVs actually an environmentally friendly way to travel? Driverless Shuttles are heading to national parks. An RV propane explosion sends a dog through a windshield and a woman to the burn unit. An RV dealer is accused of falsifying loan documents. And could Overnight Parking be banned in Texas? It’s time for the latest in RV & camping news.

In this episode, we take you to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park, where we made it our mission to find ways to avoid the crowds in the busiest national park in the nation.

We thought it would be good to gather information on how Vaccine Passports might affect RV and road-based travel, and get to the bottom of what they mean and what they don’t. Or shouldn’t. 

 

Here are some resources for news about vaccine passports: Current CDC domestic travel guidelines: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/travel-during-covid19.html

"There's a lot of debate about vaccine passports right now. What are they, and how would they work?" CNN Article: https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/07/us/covid-vaccine-passport-explainer/index.html
