Like those early adventurers, you’ll gaze in wonder at the snowcapped peaks, mountain meadows, and expansive willow bottoms, while topping out above 7,800 feet along the way.

This coming winter, snowdrifts in the street are out, while sand dunes on the beach are in. In North America’s Sunbelt, several warm-weather spots welcome southbound travelers from frigid northern states and Canada.
Resources like the Good Sam Campground webpage can guide you to the warm-weather RV resort of your dreams, from Palm Beach to Palm Springs.

In 1979, 182 racers took to the starting line for the inaugural Paris-Dakar Rally, a grueling 6,200-plus-mile race on tarmac and off-road terrain, including vast stretches of the Sahara Desert. Of those competitors, 90 set off on motorcycles. They didn’t know it at the time, but the event would spark an arms race among motorcycle manufacturers that would result in several legendary models, including one from Honda whose very name still conjures images of adventure.

Despite scoring a Dakar win in 1982,Honda found itself falling behind the competition in the adventure bike category. The Japanese giant tasked its top R&D team to create a new model designed to conquer the deserts of North Africa. Those efforts resulted in the Honda NXR750, which dominated the race for four straight years, winning from 1986 to 1989. That bike is an icon in its own right, but it also spurred development of the Honda XRV 650 Africa Twin—a bike that fundamentally changed the relationship between rider and machine.
Taking inspiration from its earlier sibling, the Africa Twin was the first factory-built bike designed for both on- and off-road riding. The goal was to convey a sense of adventure and discovery, giving owners a motorcycle with a Dakar-winning heritage that was also a daily driver. Honda gave the XRV650 a rugged suspension built for desert rallies, paired with a water-cooled four-stroke V-engine that provided plenty of power. Surprisingly nimble, the bike handled just as well on pavement as it did dirt, sand and other terrain, quickly earning a cult following in the moto community.

According to lead designer Mogi Tomonori, the goal with the Africa Twin was to create a bike built for “crossing the Alps and the Mediterranean Sea, and charging across the Sahara Desert and Africa.” That versatility was virtually unknown at the time, even in other adventure bikes. The XRV650 proved incredibly reliable, too, completing several Dakar Rallies of its own in the “Marathon” category, something previously unheard of from a production bike.
The original Honda XRV650 Africa Twin was only in production for two years, before being replaced by a new model. But the bike left such an impression on motorcycle aficionados that it is still spoken about in reverent tones. It set a high bar for craftsmanship and engineering, making it much sought after nearly 40 years after its initial debut. Honda even reintroduced the nameplate in 2016, with current models continuing the legacy of this storied original. The brand’s success continues at the Dakar Rally, too, with Honda winning three of the past five races.
The end of the week is here at last, which means it’s time for our weekly survey of the latest news from the RV and camping industry. With the big Hershey RV Show on the horizon, this week has been the calm before the storm. Still, there is plenty to cover, so let’s dive in.
Hershey RV SuperShow Starts Next Week: As noted in the intro above, the annual Hershey RV SuperShow officially gets underway next week at the Giant Center in Hershey, PA. For industry folks—think dealers, manufacturers, suppliers, media, etc.—the festivities start on Tuesday, September 9, with the doors opening to the public on Wednesday, September 10, and running through Sunday, September 14. This is one of the flagship RV shows on the calendar each year, with lots of new models and floor plans making their debut. Stay tuned for our post-Hershey coverage coming after the show, and if you need tickets for the event, you can purchase them here.

Bluetti Reveals Complete RV Power System, Groundbreaking New Power Station: The 2025 IFA (Innovations For All) expos is taking place in Germany this week, with a slew of new tech products announced. Among the exhibitors at the event are Bluetti, a company that specializes in energy storage and portable power. At the show, the brand announced a couple of exciting new products, including the RV Solar System, which offers a fully-integrated solution that installs in 30 minutes. Perhaps more exciting is the debut of the new Pioneer Na Power Station, which uses a first-of-its-kind sodium-ion battery. This type of power cell performs much better than the current lithium-ion batteries, continuing to function in temperatures as low as -13ºF/-25ºC. That could be a major gamechanger in the EV and RV space, truly making winter camping even more accessible. Watch the Bluetti webpage for more information on these products.
Thor to Introduce New Motorhomes at Hershey: The Hershey RV Show may still be a few days away, but this week we started to get a glimpse of what to expect there. Thor Motor Coach announced that it will debut new models for the first time, including the Chateau ESpec 19X Class C, the Tellaro Sport 20YS and Palladium 1930 Class B vans, and the Pasadena SV 38DX Super C. Each brings some new things to the table that could be very exciting to buyers. RV Pro has a rundown here.

Go RVing Launches “Ultimate Tailgate” Promotion: If you live in the US, you probably know that football season is upon us. Some college teams have been playing for a couple of weeks already, and the NFL kicked off last night with the Dallas Cowboys taking on the Philadelphia Eagles, with more to come this weekend. To celebrate the season, Go RVing has launched the “Ultimate Tailgate” campaign, which includes giving away the chance to “RV like a VIP.” The idea is to let fans choose their dream game day experience, including getting tickets to watch their favorite team play, an RV rental, funds for buying fan apparel, and more. Get all the details—and enter to win—here.
RV Pro Previews 2026 Model Year RV Models From All Major Manufacturers: With the end of the year in sight, and the aforementioned major RV show on the horizon, most RV manufacturers are now revealing their plans for 2026. To help us sort through everything that is coming, our friends over at RV Pro have published a number of articles this week sharing details from nearly every brand in the RV industry. Those online posts share insights into what Jayco has in the hopper, as well as Thor, Tiffin, Winnebago, Newmar, and more. To get caught up, head over to the RV Pro website and start reading.
Tiffin Teases New Cornerstone Luxury Diesel Class A Brand: This week, Tiffin gave us a little tease of what to expect from the revived Cornerstone luxury Class A diesel motorhome brand. Originally managed by Entegra Coach, Cornerstone now falls under the Tiffin umbrella, with plans to reveal new models in the coming weeks. In a video posted to YouTube (see above), the company’s president—Leigh Tiffin—tells viewers that we can expect quality, value, and service from the Cornerstone offerings, while going on to emphasize that big things are coming. For now, we’ll have to stay patient to see what they reveal, but expectations are already running high.
Dragonfly Patents New Charge Controller Technology: Dragonfly continues to expand and innovate in the power and charging space. This week, we received news that the company has received a patent on its Wakespeed charge controller technology, which allows a tow vehicle to recharge the batteries in a trailer while in transit. In the past, these systems were generally limited to 12V power, which is often too slow for larger lithium power cells. But the new tech provides up to 48V of power, greatly decreasing charging times. Find out more here.

Staff at Yosemite, Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks Vote to Unionize: We have news from three of California’s national parks this week, as the staff at Yosemite and Sequoia & Kings Canyon have voted to unionize. The vote impacts hundreds of people at those parks, who are looking for some job protections as the Trump Administration’s cuts to the National Park Service go into effect. According to The Guardian, 97% of park workers at those two NPS units voted in favor of unionizing, with more than 600 park rangers, scientists, biologists, photographers, geographers, and others signing up. Read more here.
Court Strikes Down Tariffs: The ongoing struggle over the Trump Administration’s use of tariffs to tax goods imported to the US hit another bump in the road this week. A federal appeals court has ruled that the White House’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to enact those tariffs is not legal, upholding the ruling of a lower court from a few months back. On paper, this would invalidate those tariffs, but the court has held off enforcement until October, giving Trump representatives time to appeal the ruling. The President has already asked the Supreme Court to take up the matter.
That’s it for this week. We’ll be back next Friday with another wrap-up of the top news from the RV space.

Coachmen Joins Forces with Bourbon & Bonfire for Charitable Retreats: Coachmen RV and Bourbon & Bonfire are coming together for a good cause. The RV manufacturer, which is also a division of Forest River, announced this week that it was partnering with B&B to create 16 special edition Class A models to serve as VIP accommodations for weekend getaways on Sept. 5-7 and 12-14.

Upcoming Hearing on Deferred National Park Maintenance will be Live Streamed: Back in 2020, the passage of the Great American Outdoors Act included the authorization of the Legacy Restoration Fund (LRF), which included $6.5 billion allocated to addressing maintenance needs in America’s national parks. The use of those funds has stalled out over the past few years, to the point that the LRF will actually expire at the end of September. In an effort to decide what to do with those funds and further allocate their use, the House Natural Resources Subcommittee will hold a hearing on Friday, Sept. 5 to hopefully free up the money to address the needs of the national parks. That hearing will be live streamed from the Jenny Lake Visitor Center in Grand Teton National Park at 10:00 a.m. MDT. Interested parties can watch here.
That’s a wrap for this week. See you next Friday for another round-up of the biggest news from the RV and camping industries ahead of the big Hershey RV SuperShow.
We’re rounding out the week in our usual way, with a roundup of the biggest stories from the RV and camping industries. It has been another busy week, so here are a few stories you might want to know about:
Jayco Reveals All-Electric Class A Embark Model: The era of an all-electric Class A motorhome is drawing closer. This week, Jayco revealed a new model called the Embark, which rides on a chassis co-developed by Thor and Harbinger Motors. The rig has an all-electric range of 110 miles but comes with a gas-powered range extender that allows it to go up to 500 miles without stopping. Numbers similar to what we saw last year from the Thor Test Vehicle. The Jayco e-RV is expected to go into limited production next year and carry a price tag of about $460,000. Pricey, but also cutting-edge tech that will eventually come down in cost. For more info, check out the excellent coverage from RV Business.

This week, iconic travel trailer manufacturer Airstream announced that it is partnering with Tern to build two special edition e-bike models. Those include the Airstream x Tern HSD P5I and the Airstream x Tern Vektron S10. Both bikes use industry-leading Bosch drive systems and high-quality parts to keep maintenance to a minimum.

Jalopnik Profiles the Toyota Coaster RV: While we mainly focus on the RV market in North America here at RV.com, we occasionally catch a glimpse of an overseas model that is just too cool to pass up. Such was the case this week when automobile-focused website Jalopnik took a look at the Toyota Coaster, a motorized RV that includes features like a queen-size bed, a 6′ tall ceiling, comfy lounges, and more. This particular rig is a 1989 model that was imported to the US and is currently for sale in Florida. Even the exterior design still looks great after all of these years. Check it out here.
Lippert Founder Passes Away: Finally, sad news this week from RV component manufacturer Lippert. The company shared the news that its founder—Lawrence Lippert—has passed away. Larry, as he was known to his friends, started Lippert Components in 1956, after working for a home builder in Alma, Michigan, after returning home at the end of WWII. For 70 years, the company has been leading the industry by supplying top-notch equipment and parts to OEMs and individual RV, boat, and truck owners. Larry’s legacy continues to live on at the company he founded, and he will be missed by those who knew him. Our condolences to the Lippert family, both immediate and extended.
That’s a wrap for this week. Enjoy the weekend, and we’ll see you here next Friday for another rundown of the latest RV news.
Can you believe it’s Friday already? That means it’s time for our weekly roundup of all the latest news from the RV and camping industries. Here are the biggest stories from this past week that you might like to know about:

Production Begins on Lightship AE.1 Cosmos Edition Electric Travel Trailer:We’ve been following the progress of the all-electric Lightship travel trailer for several years now, and this week the brand hit a major milestone. The company announced that production has started on its AE.1 Cosmos Edition towable, with the first deliveries set to take place before the end of the summer. Additionally, two new models were announced in the form of the AE.1 Atmos and AE.1 Panos editions. These e-trails feature a design that lowers the roof while in transit, making the trailer more aerodynamic in the process. At the campsite, the roof expands back to its full height, providing plenty of room for owners. The rig also includes an electric drive system to assist tow vehicles on the road and 1.8kWh solar panels on the roof to feed power to its all-electric appliances, HVAC, and large house battery array. Learn more on the Lightship website.

Hipcamp and AllTrails Team Up for Late-Summer Adventures: Sure, the calendar may indicate that it is mid-August, but there is still plenty of summer to enjoy. To prove that point, online campsite and trails discovery platforms Hipcamp and AllTrails have joined forces to launch a list of ten all-in-one late-summer adventures. Each entry includes a brief explanation of what the activity entails, along with a suggestion of three hiking trails to enjoy in the area.

Requirements for Registering an RV as a Primary Residence: Want to live in your RV full-time, but not sure if you can classify it as your primary residence? This week, Jalopnik took a look at what is required to make that happen, and while there are a few hurdles to overcome, it isn’t all that complicated. In a nutshell, you’ll need to let the IRS know that you’re declaring your rig as your home. You’ll also need to establish residency in a state, with some places offering more lax rules than others. You’ll also need a permanent mailing address, and there are a few other important items to consider. Get the full lowdown here.

The two countries continue to negotiate a trade deal that is fair for both sides, but so far have not reached a resolution. Those tariffs are now delayed another 90 days, and are now scheduled to begin on November 10. Read more here.
