397. Our Biggest RV Travel Mistakes

This week on the RV Miles Podcast, we’re digging deep into the memory bank to relive some of our biggest mistakes on the road — and yes, there have been plenty. From exploding spaghetti sauce and black tank blunders… to campsite miscalculations, rookie towing moments, and those “what were we thinking?” travel decisions — we’ve learned a lot the hard way over nearly a decade of RV life. If you’ve ever made a mistake in your RV (and who hasn’t?), this episode is proof you’re not alone — and hopefully you’ll learn from ours instead of repeating them. *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 Introduction 00:58 Tiffin Consolidates in Red Bay 07:22 Alliance Buys Midwest Automotive Designs 10:29 Studio Updates 14:54 Sponsors 16:08 Disaster Stories Begin 18:36 The Marinara Explosion 20:43 Inside-Rig Mishaps 25:40 Exterior Damage Hall of Fame 34:45 Driving Blunders 38:24 Campground Scramble 44:50 The Jerry Can Shower Disaster 49:16 Yosemite Exit Chaos 52:31 Trust the Nagging Feeling 54:27 Black Tank Flush Overflow 58:47 Black Tank: Ram/Jeep Towing Module Recall 01:01:59 Fresh Tank: Love’s Expands RV Stops 01:03:47 Black Tank: Don’t Order Domino’s to an Active Crime Scene 01:08:05 Fresh Tank: Why MasterClass Is Worth It

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.

News: Sweeping National Park Exhibit Removals, Rescues Surge, and Fossils Found

This week on Parkography, we look at the Trump administration’s directive that’s leading to the removal of exhibits and signs about slavery, Native American displacement, labor history, and climate change at national parks across the country. We also examine new polling showing strong bipartisan opposition in Western states to the nominee to lead the Bureau of Land Management, and a lawsuit challenging new federal rules that limit public input on logging, drilling, and wildlife management projects in national forests. We’ll also cover new policies making it easier to lease public lands for oil and gas development — even as recent federal lease sales in Colorado draw zero bids — and a major reorganization of federal wildfire programs with the launch of a new U.S. Wildland Fire Service. On the ground, we’re tracking a record year for search and rescue at Yosemite, recent vandalism near Bridalveil Fall, illegal off-road driving that damaged rare desert plants at Death Valley’s Eureka Dunes, and adaptive reopening plans for the Grand Canyon’s North Rim after last year’s wildfire. And we’ll end with some good news: a surprise dinosaur fossil discovery at Dinosaur National Monument and major restoration projects underway at memorials and fountains across Washington, D.C. ahead of America’s 250th anniversary.
