About this episode

The episode discusses multiple campground tragedies, health warnings related to ticks and bacteria, and updates on the RV industry including new products and tax legislation.

A mass shooting at Scissortail Campground near Arcadia Lake, Oklahoma that left one dead and 22 injured, a Florida murder-suicide involving campground hosts found dead in an RV at Ocean Pond Campground, health experts warn of sharply rising tick activity and the northward, longer-season spread of vibrio “flesh-eating” bacteria in warming coastal waters. Lippert (LCI) and Patrick Industries end merger talks, while a House bill is introduced that could make interest on qualifying RV loans tax-deductible. Winnebago unveils the Ram 5500-based Arca off-grid expedition vehicle, and Starlink rolls out international travel registration requiring passport and identity uploads for cross-border use.
