RV PODCAST NEWS: Why are Campervans and Class B RVs so Expensive?!!

RV Podcast - Stories From The Road

Jennifer and I just spent a week doing hands-on reviews of six small motorhomes - Class Bs and compact Class Cs.

And I have some things to say about what they cost. Strong things. Things that have been building for a while. We are going there today - including a hard look at the manufacturers who are trying to capture the low end of this market with rigs that are, frankly, not worth what people are paying for them.

Then - tariffs. On April 6th, new steel and aluminum duties took effect. And if you thought that Winnebago or that Newmar was already out of reach - this story is not going to make you feel better.

And we close with a story about 193 million acres of public land and a federal agency reorganization that could change how - and whether - you access your favorite camping territory.
