Is Glamping Forcing RVers Out? Plus Used RV Prices Drop and New TPMS Rule

Is glamping quietly pushing RVers out of campgrounds?

That is the question we are tackling in this week’s RV Lifestyle Podcast News Edition, and the answer may change how you plan your next trip.

Across North America, more campgrounds are replacing traditional RV sites with cabins, yurts, and high-end glamping units. It is changing availability, pricing, and even the overall camping experience. We break down what is really happening and what it means for RVers.

But that is just one of the big stories this week.

We also cover a major shift in the RV market and a new safety requirement that is long overdue.
