In this episode, GM has ceased production of the chassis used for the Coachmen RVEX Motorhome prototype due to slower-than-expected demand in the commercial EV market. Ford halts the production of its F-150 Lightning pickup truck due to a fire at the Novelis aluminum plant. Georgia's State Park system may raise fees to reduce reliance on taxpayer funding, and the RV market shows signs of stabilization. Plus, a surge in Winnebago's stock and GM's decision to remove Apple CarPlay and Android Auto from future vehicles. Finally, an RV-focused indie video game, 'RV There Yet,' is making waves on Steam.
