    409. Is Vanlife For Us? Our Time In The Noovo Plus Campervan

    This week, we recap our four-day trip in a  @noovovans  Plus Class B camper van, and discuss the trade-offs of small spaces versus easier setup and mobility. Is a van in our future? We also discuss clickbait coverage of a camp host tragedy and a new Starlink cross-border verification requirement. *Get links and more in the show notes at https://RVMiles.com/408 *Support RV Miles and independent RV journalism 👉 https://rvmiles.com/milemarkers *Curated, not Regurgitated.

    From Zion National Park after our first night in a Noovo Plus camper van, we discuss the termination of merger talks between Patrick Industries and Lippert Components, we interview with Paul from Noovo Vans, covering the company’s Skoolie origin as “My Bus Hotel,” its pivot during COVID into manufacturing, its production process and quality control approach, listening to owner feedback, and its simplified model/option strategy and pricing philosophy.  *Get links and more in the show notes at https://RVMiles.com/408 *Support RV Miles and independent RV journalism 👉 https://rvmiles.com/milemarkers *Curated, not Regurgitated.

    407. Things You DON'T Need When You Start Out RVing

    Jason and Abby answer a listener question about affordable travel-day lunches before discussing common RV purchases new RVers don’t need to buy immediately: RV-specific toilet paper, pricey hiking boots/outdoor clothing, tent-camping gadgets, camping memberships, and more. Plus, one state is getting 3 new state parks, while another is shuttering state park campgrounds to keep their system afloat.  *Get links and more in the show notes at https://RVMiles.com/406 *Support RV Miles and independent RV journalism 👉 https://rvmiles.com/milemarkers *Curated, not Regurgitated.

    406. Report Shows Big Drop In RV Ownership, Camping Participation

    In this episode of the RV Miles Podcast, Jason and Abby discuss severe spring storms and the importance of weather awareness for RVers, especially around tornadoes and high winds. They break down reports that major RV component manufacturers Lippert Components and Patrick Industries are in talks for a merger, and how that could further consolidate the supply chain and reduce competition across RV construction and delivery. They also review KOA’s 2026 camping report, highlighting declines in frequent camping, Gen Z participation, and camping families with kids, alongside increasing costs and shifting demographics.  *Get links and more in the show notes at https://RVMiles.com/406 *Support RV Miles and independent RV journalism 👉 https://rvmiles.com/milemarkers *Curated, not Regurgitated.
