  • California Temporarily Pauses Ban on Sale of Gas Generators

    California has made headlines in recent weeks thanks to some of its more controversial environmental regulations. For example, at the start of the year, the state’s Advanced Clean Trucks regulations kicked in, placing quotas on the sale of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) for RV and truck chassis manufacturers. That has led to some motorhomes and large trucks becoming unavailable while companies learn to navigate the new rules and meet ZEV standards. But recently, California’s Air Resource Board (CARB) backtracked on one proposed set of regulations by withdrawing a request to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval of the Advanced Clean Fleets rules, which looked to ban new diesel trucks and locomotives by 2036. Now, the organization has hit pause on another new set of regulations that banned the sale of gas generators.

    Late last week, CARB announced that it would temporarily lift its ban on the sale of portable gas generators, allowing consumers to purchase those devices through June 30, 2025. That means, over the next six months, generators that meet the EPA’s standards can be sold in the state, without having to meet the stricter California standards, which essentially required zero emissions. Those new regulatory standards went into effect in 2024 and also had an impact on the sale of tools like leaf blowers and lawnmowers.

    The temporary pause on the regulations comes as a result of the Los Angeles wildfires, which to date have destroyed more than 16,000 homes and claimed the lives of over 30 people. The widespread damage from those fires has resulted in ongoing power outages, often lasting for days. And while large solar-powered battery banks from brands like EcoFlow, Jackery, and Bluetti can help keep the power on, those systems can be costly and time-consuming to deploy. Gas generators are quick and easy to set up and meet the temporary needs of most people, although they are somewhat noisy and produce emissions.

    It is important to note that CARB defines a portable generator as one that produces 19 kilowatts of power or less. That means the units that are back on sale in the state are relatively small and compact, but will still provide power to those who need it. The board also lists a set of guidelines for manufacturers and retailers on its website.

    Remember, CARB has not repealed its regulations on gas generators; it has only paused them in this time of emergency. If you find you need one of these devices, now is the time to grab one. Barring any unexpected circumstances, the ban will go back into effect on July 1, with these products once again disappearing from California store shelves.

    • RV Trader Lists Best Dogs for RVing: Dogs and camping are a natural fit, allowing us to enjoy time outdoors with our four-legged friends. But have you ever wondered if some dog breeds are a better fit for the RV lifestyle or even which type of dog works best for your approach to RVing? This week, the RV Trader—an online platform for buying and selling recreational vehicles—shared a blog post that looks to answer those questions. The post, which you can read here, matches RV personality types (casual campers, adventure seekers, etc.) with the dog breeds that make the best companions for them.

Scenes for the movie will be shot in Enumclaw, WA (Feb. 12-14) and Grand Coulee, WA (Mar. 27-30). Per RV Pro, the producers are looking for “sprinter vans, camper vans, RVs, teardrops, pop ups” and so on. But if you don’t have a rig, you can also send them your headshot for a chance to appear in the film. Contact the production team at vanlifemoviewashington@gmail.com.
    • Harbinger Raises $100 Million in Funding: Harbinger Motors, which develops and manufactures electric truck chassis, has raised $100 million in its latest round of funding. Why is this news on an RV website? Because the company has partnered with Thor Industries to develop hybrid and electric RVs. In fact, Thor is one of the primary investors in Harbinger with the hopes of creating low- or zero-emission vehicles that are easier on the environment. The latest influx of funds will help it ramp up production and continue further research and development. Our friends at RV News have more insights here.

    • Love’s Continues to Expand RV Hook-Ups: Love’s convenience stores are usually some of the best places to stop for gas, drinks, and snacks on any road trip. But now, the company is expanding its appeal to RVers by adding even more hookups to various locations. According to RV Travel, Love’s will add 83 RV hookups to 17 of its locations, which will bring the total number of stores that cater to RVers to over a hundred. Reportedly, those outlets will also expand the fresh foods they have on offer, giving us even more reasons to stop—and stay—in the months ahead.

Now, those capabilities will be put to the test on an epic journey that will play out in front of a television audience. The towables are set to appear on Off-Road Travel TV—a show that airs on MAVTV—which will follow intrepid adventurers as they make their way along the Pacific Coast from Southern California to the Last Frontier in Alaska. The show will consist of 13 episodes and will showcase a NoBo 16.6 travel trailer towed behind a custom-built Ford Bronco. Over the course of the road trip, the team will visit multiple state and national parks in the US and Canada.
    • Jackery Launches RV-Specific Solar Panel at CES: The Consumer Electronics Show took place in Las Vegas this week, with hundreds of tech companies on hand to reveal their newest products.

    • Airstream Partners with Klipsch and Announces New RV Package at CES: One of the more unlikely attendees at CES this year was Airstream. The iconic RV manufacturer was on hand to announce a new partnership with Klipsch, a brand that is equally iconic in the audio space. The two companies struck a deal that will put high-end speakers in the 2025 Classic travel trailer. But, Airstream also took advantage of the show to announce the new “Midnight Flamingo” package for its Flying Cloud 25FB, 27FB, and 33FB floorplans. The optional add-on gives those towables four ceiling-mounted premium Klipsch speakers and a Flexus Core 200 sound bar.

    • Updated Pebble Flow All-Electric Travel Trailer Video: Earlier in the week, we shared news about the production-intent version of the all-electric Pebble Flow travel trailer, which also made its debut at CES. The new version differs slightly from the one we told you about last year, offering a refined design and some subtle but nice changes.

    • RV Trader Reveals It’s Most Popular RVs of 2024: RV Trader—a Top online platform for buying and selling RVs—has revealed its most popular models for the year that has just passed. The outlet posted its top five most popular models to a blog post right before the holidays. The list contains some excellent models—like the Winnebago View—but the top spot is a bit of a strange one. Spoiler alert, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter claims number 1, but as we all know, that isn’t an RV. It is a popular RV platform, but not an RV per se. Strange choice, but interesting.

    • Garmin Drops New Handheld GPS Devices: While we’re on the topic of CES, in somewhat of a surprise move, Garmin announced a trio of new handheld GPS devices this week. Thanks to smartphone navigation integration, these types of gadgets seemed to have gone out of favor with many consumers in recent years, but the new  Montana 710, Montana 710i and Montana 760i have some compelling features that make them interesting. For starters, they’re sleek and lightweight, have bright screens, and come with rechargeable batteries that offer up to 24 hours of use. They also have built-in cameras, have access to high-resolution satellite imagery, and can send an SOS alert via satellite. They even have satellite texting capabilities like the company’s inReach Messenger. Prices start at $650.
    • Demco’s Hitch Works with the RamBox Truck:  Ram trucks have been a source of innovation in recent years, with the RamBox cargo management system especially standing out. Unfortunately, this clever feature—which provides more onboard storage for owners—results in a narrower bed, which means it isn’t compatiable with all fifth-wheel hitches. But fear not Ram truck owners, as the Demco Recon Series, which can be paired with an aftermarket rotating pin box, works well with RamBox models. Check them out here.

  • Pebble Reveals Production-Ready All-Electric Pebble Flow Travel Trailer at CES

    At last year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, we had the chance to go inside the Pebble Flow—an all-electric travel trailer with plenty of high-tech features and amenities. And while that model was an early prototype of the futuristic towable, we came away very impressed by what we saw. Now, one year later, the RV has just hit a major milestone, as the company has revealed a production-intent version, signaling that the Pebble Flow is ready to hit the road.

    The latest version of the travel trailer will make its official debut tomorrow (January 7) on the CES show floor at the Las Vegas Convention Center. This version has undergone a number of revisions and refinements based on in-house development and testing, along with consumer feedback. As a result, the Pebble Flow is now ready to go into production with the first models delivering to customers later this spring. “The production-intent Pebble Flow marks a significant milestone in our journey to redefine RV travel,” says Pebble CEO Bingrui Yang in a press release. “From the initial concept to our first prototype and now the fully realized product, we have poured our passion and expertise into every stage of its creation. This process has been about addressing the real challenges RVers face while incorporating thoughtful design and cutting-edge features. This product embodies the creativity of the Pebble team and we can’t wait to see it on the road soon.”

    The Pebble Flow’s signature features include a 45kWh lithium battery pack and a 1.1kW solar array, which provide enough energy to camp off-grid for up to seven days. The interior is spacious, modern, and airy, with large windows that provide plenty of natural light and open to let the breeze flow in. The production-ready version has a more aerodynamic design compared to the prototype and comes with a factory-installed motorized awning and four exterior cameras to assist with maneuvering and parking. The standard version of the Pebble Flow offers a refined and comfortable camping experience, but customers can elect to upgrade their rigs by adding the optional Magic Pack. This adds dual electric motors to the travel trailer that brings Active Tow Assist functionality to help propel it down the road, easing the demand put on the tow vehicles. Other Magic Pack features include Magic Hitch for faster and easier hitching and Instacamp, which automatically deploys or retracts the stairs, stabilizers, and levelers when arriving or departing the campsite. You can even move the Pebble in and out of tight spots using a remote control feature.

    Other notable features include a flexible interior space that quickly transforms from a mobile workstation to a relaxing environment as needed. A queen-size Murphy bed serves as the primary sleep area, while the multi-functional dinette converts into a second bed for guests. The kitchen comes equipped with a removable induction cooktop, a four-in-one convection microwave, and a full-size refrigerator. A spa-inspired bathroom is both beautiful and functional, providing a residential feel even when boondocking. “Our team has worked incredibly hard to make these improvements to the design of our Pebble Flow, and this won’t be all,” says Chief Technology Officer Stefan Solyom. “We’ve intentionally made the Pebble Flow a software-defined vehicle. This allows us to implement new features and updates seamlessly through over-the-air (OTA) updates. We’ll be able to surprise and delight users for years to come.”

    The Pebble Flow is set to go into production early this year, with the first models shipping to customers in the spring. Pricing starts at $109,500 for the base model and $135,500 with the Magic Pack. A Founders Edition model featuring all upgrades and features, plus the option to select a limited-edition paint color, will be available for $175,000. All prices are before federal and state tax credits, which could potentially bring the price down further.

    Customers can preorder their own travel trailer by placing a fully-refundable $500 down payment online. For more information, visit the Pebble website. We’ll be on hand at CES to checkout the production-intent version of the Pebble Flow and will share our thoughts after event.
