    401. Fuel Saving Tips & Places We Should Go

    In episode 401 of the RV Miles podcast, Jason and Abby read Mile Marker survey responses about destinations inspired by the show, and with fuel prices rising, they revisit practical ways to cut fuel costs: proper tire inflation, avoiding interstate-adjacent stations, watching state-line price differences, and more. Jason critiques an overbuilt, tightly packed campground near Iowa City, Abby calls out daylight saving time, and celebrates learning “piecemeal” is the correct term, and Jason fresh-tanks a new route-checking app, RV Route Finder.

    400. RV Trips for Every Type of Traveler

    In episode 400 of the RV Miles podcast, we celebrate nearly nine years of the show, and reflect on how the show and our RV life have evolved since 2017. To mark the milestone, we're offering up five RV trip ideas based only on places we've visited: a first-time RV trip to the Black Hills/Badlands, a spring wildlife-focused Yellowstone trip, scenic drives with Durango as a base including the Million Dollar Highway and Mesa Verde, a national parks power trip linking Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Devils Tower, Badlands and Wind Cave (plus options like Glacier or Theodore Roosevelt), and a slow-travel route from Astoria, Oregon to Seattle via Olympic National Park.  *Support independent RV journalism and unlock great perks by becoming a Mile Marker 👉 https://rvmiles.com/milemarkers *Get your FREE weekly Road Signs Newsletter at https://rvmiles.com/mailinglist/ Support our Sponsors: *Check out all Blue Ox has to offer at https://BlueOx.com *Find all the RV parts and gear you need at etrailer: https://www.etrailer.com/vehicle-finder.aspx?etam=p0001 *Get 30% off your next RV Mattress at https://rvmattress.com/rvmiles with code RVMILES at checkout! *Find Liquified at https://liquifiedrv.com/ Track SSTK_MUSIC_ID  437726– Monetization ID MONETIZATION_ID AMXDXB4BX5FLHUYE 00:00 Episode 400 Kickoff 11:41 Homecoming Rally Details 14:27 Etrailer Sponsor 15:13 Trip Ideas Setup 16:41 THE FIRST-TIME RVER TRIP 23:53 THE WILDLIFE TRIP 28:35 THE SCENIC DRIVES TRIP 34:48 THE NATIONAL PARKS POWER TRIP  41:15 THE SLOW TRAVEL TRIP 47:22 Black Tank Fuel Prices 52:38 Fresh Tank: Laundry Detergent Debate 58:06 Black Tank: Protein Pressure Rant 01:02:01 Fresh Tank: Alliance RV Milestone 01:03:30 Episode 400 Farewell

    News: RV Stocks Tumble, Huge Ford Recall, Washington May Shutter 19 State Park Campgrounds

    Thor Industries — the world’s largest RV manufacturer — just announced a major corporate restructuring, grouping brands like Jayco, Tiffin, Keystone, Dutchmen, and others under new leadership structures. We break down what this means for the industry… and why it comes as RV stocks continue to tumble. Several major recalls that could impact RVers: • 4.3 million Ford trucks and SUVs recalled for trailer module issues • 15,000 Ford Transit vans recalled for potential brake failure • 3.2 million Weber grill brushes recalled due to ingestion hazards • Nearly 20,000 Trek electric bikes recalled over rear wheel separation risk Plus, 19 Washington state park campgrounds could close or see reduced services due to budget cuts, while Texas opens its first new North Texas state park in nearly 25 years — Palo Pinto Mountains State Park.

    399. RV Owners Rate Their RVs, And Can You Tow a Real Trailer with an EV? Bowlus Says Yes

    This week we dig into a viral RVTravel.com poll asking: How well built is your RV? The results surprised us—and they raise a bigger question: if so many RVers say their rigs are “well built,” why does the industry’s quality reputation feel so rough… and why can’t buyers easily choose truly better-built options? Then we’re joined by Geneva Long, founder and CEO of Bowlus to talk about reviving a nearly-forgotten 1930s aviation-inspired aluminum travel trailer and turning it into one of the most interesting luxury RV brands on the road today. We get into what “built like an airplane” really means, why lightweight doesn’t have to mean flimsy, and why Bowlus may be uniquely positioned for the future of EV towing. Plus: Abby’s “black tank” story about everyday kindness (and a parking lot door ding), and Jason’s take on the way people talk about travel safety in Mexico—especially Baja. *Support independent RV journalism and unlock great perks by becoming a Mile Marker 👉 https://rvmiles.com/milemarkers *Get your FREE weekly Road Signs Newsletter at https://rvmiles.com/mailinglist/ Vote for us as the People’s Choice for Best Podcast at the 2026 Outdoor Media Summit Awards: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18EbvKNRa8/?mibextid=wwXIfr Support our Sponsors: *Check out all Blue Ox has to offer at https://BlueOx.com *Find all the RV parts and gear you need at etrailer: https://www.etrailer.com/vehicle-finder.aspx?etam=p0001 *Get 30% off your next RV Mattress at https://rvmattress.com/rvmiles with code RVMILES at checkout! *Find Liquified at https://liquifiedrv.com/ 00:00 Intro 00:31 Poll RV Build Quality 07:56 Sponsors 09:29 Bowlus Interview 10:27 Bolus Origin Story 18:00 EV Towing Future 22:38 Pricing and Ideal Buyer 23:59 Direct Sales and Growth 29:30 Mexico Travel Safety 36:07 Outdoorsy Event Boom 38:11 Parking Lot Door Ding 44:31 Book Club Pick 47:29 Episode Wrap Up

    398. BIG Nat'l Park Entry Changes, ALLIANCE to Build Motorhomes With Co-Founder Coley Brady

    In episode 398 of the RV Miles podcast, we cover Alliance RV’s acquisition of Midwest Automotive Designs, marking Alliance’s first move into motorized RVs with Sprinter-based Class B luxury vans. Jason interviews Alliance co-founder Coley Brady about why the deal happened and the possibility of an Alliance-branded Class B that could come as soon as this fall. We discuss National Park Service timed entry reservation changes, including Yosemite, Arches, and Glacier not using timed entry this summer, along with Glacier’s alternative measures like parking limits at Logan Pass, shuttle-only access for certain hikes, and reservable shuttle slots. Jason’s black tank is the short-lived reopening of the Apostle Islands ice caves (open for one day before conditions changed), and his fresh tank is Axiom RV increasing fifth-wheel ground clearance from six to ten inches while raising questions about the engineering tradeoffs. Abby’s black tank focuses on the changing state of podcasting, with exclusivity deals and paywalls involving major platforms; her fresh tank is enjoying the Winter Olympics. *Support independent RV journalism and unlock great perks by becoming a Mile Marker 👉 https://rvmiles.com/milemarkers *Get your FREE weekly Road Signs Newsletter at https://rvmiles.com/mailinglist/ Support our Sponsors: *Check out all Blue Ox has to offer at https://BlueOx.com *Find all the RV parts and gear you need at etrailer: https://www.etrailer.com/vehicle-finder.aspx?etam=p0001 *Find Liquified at https://liquifiedrv.com/ Track SSTK_MUSIC_ID  437726– Monetization ID MONETIZATION_ID AMXDXB4BX5FLHUYE 00:00 Intro 02:35 National Parks Timed-Entry Changes 14:42 Sponsor Break: Blue Ox + etrailer.com 15:56 Coley Brady on Alliance’s Move Into Class B Vans 25:04 Black Tank: Apostle Islands Ice Caves 26:40 Fresh Tank: Axiom RV Finally Raises Ground Clearance 29:43 Black Tank: How Big Media Is Reshaping Podcasting 42:02 Fresh Tank: Winter Olympics 42:53 Final Sign-Off
