  • In this mini episode of the RV Miles podcast, Jason and Abby revisit past RV mythbusting segments from earlier episodes to see what still holds up, including whether you should buy an RV from Camping World, whether RV-specific toilet paper is necessary, and misconceptions about using Drano in RV plumbing (including cautions around waterless Hepvo traps). They also debunk bags of water with pennies to deter flies, discuss mixed claims about Irish Spring soap or dryer sheets for mice, and recommend sealing entry points, and dismiss the idea that you must be under 30 feet to camp in national parks.

  • This week, a deadly heat warning from Grand Canyon National Park after multiple hikers died in extreme summer temperatures, a New Jersey RV park fire that destroyed several rigs, and flash flooding that trapped campers at a Gulfport RV resort.

    We’ll also look at @OutdoorsyRV 's rebrand as The Ride Platform, a new class action lawsuit involving Ram ProMaster vans used in many camper van and Class B RV builds, a new SuperSteer sway bar upgrade for Sprinter-based motorhomes, and AAA’s latest Independence Day travel forecast.

    Plus, we end with a campground rescue story involving a camper, a pair of sunglasses, and a pit toilet — and yes, it’s exactly as bad as it sounds.
