Lippert Components and Patrick Industries are in talks about a potential merger that could reshape RV manufacturing. The Bureau of Land Management is moving toward banning dispersed camping across nearly 14,000 acres near Zion National Park, replacing much of it with two proposed campgrounds totaling 230 sites. Ford recalls about 1.4 million 2015–2017 F-150s for a transmission range sensor issue and RAM recalls 65,000 2025–2026 pickups for an instrument panel software error. Fuel prices dipped amid Middle East developments, and several states announced gas tax holidays, while the EPA is issuing another E15 summer waiver. An Arkansas RV lot arson investigation,  ⁨Blu Tech's new Waterstop leak shutoff system, and  KOA's 2026 camping report showing shifting demographics and glamping growth.
