- Jayco Hands Off Entegra Production to Tiffin: Big news from the RV industry this week, as Thor Industries has announced a strategic move to free up production capacity while continuing to give consumers and customers impeccable service. The company announced that production of Entegra Coach’s diesel motorhomes would move from under the Jacyo banner to Tiffin instead.

- GearJunkie Reviews Rossmönster Baja Trail LX Overland Vehicle: If you’ve been eyeing a Rossmönster off-road adventure truck, but were unsure of the camping experience, you may want to check out this review from our friends at GearJunkie. The writer took the Baja Trail LX model for a week-long off-road camping adventure and shares his thoughts on what it was like. The overland vehicle gets high marks for drivability and luxurious amenities, but is also on the pricey side. Still, it looks like a great option for those who can afford the $380,000 price tag.
- Go RVing Announces “Go Beyond Your Door” Campaign: Just in time for the busy summer travel season, Go RVing has launched a new initiative promoting the benefits of the RVing lifestyle. The new “Go Beyond Your Door” campaign features a fantastic video that spotlights the benefits of RV travel and encourages all of us to go beyond our vehicle’s door to embrace the opportunities around us. To celebrate, the organization is also launching a sweepstakes for the “Ultimate RV Getaway.” Sign-up is free, and if you win, you could take home gift cards for RV and campsite rentals, along with Go RVing swag bags.

- Xponent Solar RV Awnings Now Available: Looking for an efficient way to add solar panels to your rig without installing them on the roof? If so, the Xpanse solar awning by Xponent might just be what you’re looking for. The device functions like a typical awning when installed on your RV, and includes such features as rugged build quality and built-in smart sensors to automatically retract when wind conditions get too high. But, it also comes with a 1200W solar panel built right in, and easily connects to your lithium house batteries. The unit can be deployed and monitored using a smartphone app, and when closed it is only 6″ wide. Pricing starts at $9,900 with IRS tax credits potentially taking the initial investment down to $6,930. Find out more here.
- National Park Service Facing $1.2 Billion Budget Cut: If you’re a fan of America’s national parks, you may have received unsettling news this week. The Trump Administration released its preliminary 2026 budget plan, which proposes a massive $1.2 billion budget cut for the Park Service. This sent up alarm bells across the outdoor industry, with many experts indicating that the parks are already woefully understaffed and lacking funds to repair or expand infrastructure. The National Parks Conservation Association even pointed out that in order to reach these goals, the NPS would have to shut down more than 300 national park units.

- RV Rental Demand Remains Strong: RV rentals have become very popular in recent years, with more and more opportunities for the general public to find a rental that meets their needs. Now, the Recreational Vehicle Rental Association (RVRA) is confirming the continued popularity of this trend. Recently, the RVRA surveyed RV dealers to get a sense of the current rental market. They found that two-thirds of respondents say that bookings for the summer ahead are equal to or greater than last year. In fact, 34% said they are seeing an increase in bookings, while 29% say those levels remain the same year-over-year. Read more here.
- The Dyrt Says 3 Out of 4 Campers have Camped in their Vehicle: If you’re a regular around here, it’s probably no secret that vehicle-based camping is very popular. But this week, The Dyrt reaffirmed that information with more data from its 2025 Camping Report. According to the online campground discovery site, three out of four respondents to its annual survey say they’ve slept in—or within close proximity—of their vehicle. That can include RVs, of course, but also car camping in trucks, SUVs, wagons, and other models. Furthermore, 53.4% indicated they preferred vehicle-based camping options, with 50.6% saying they bought a camper van, motorhome, or towable within the last five years.

- Dometic Introduces New Next-Gen RV Furnace: Dometic had announced a new OEM furnace that promises to be more efficient and issue-free than current models. The 35K Furnace Essential reportedly produces 22% more airflow compared to its nearest competitor, keeping RV interiors warmer in the process. But the device—which is aimed at vehicle manufacturers, dealerships, and consumers—also has some key component changes, like a patent-pending, debris-resistant sensor that eliminates moving parts that could potentially break down. The furnace is a preview of things to come, with changes coming to the entire Dometic line throughout the rest of the year.
- AdventureGenie Adds Open Road Fuel Centers to Its AI Trip Planner: This week, AI-driven trip planning site for RVers AdventureGenie and the Open Roads diesel fuel-saving app announced a partnership. The two companies are joining forces in hopes of saving their shared audiences some money. AdventureGenie says that it is now integrating Open Fuel’s gas station locations into its trip planning software, making it easier than ever for users to find stops along their route where they can fuel up and save. The service makes it easier to know when and where to stop while en route, possibly saving hundreds of dollars along the way. Find out more here.
That’s a wrap for this week. See you next Friday for another edition of our weekly roundup of the latest RV news.
