News | Diesel Hits an All-Time High, and the Outlook Isn't Good + Big New RV Debuts

Episode 539 Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description

Diesel prices have officially hit an all-time record in the U.S., with the national average reaching about $5.90 per gallon — and RVers could be dealing with elevated diesel prices well into fall and winter.

In this week’s RV and camping news, we break down what’s driving the global diesel crunch, why diesel is so much more expensive than gasoline right now, and what it could mean for your upcoming RV travel budget.

Plus, we’re getting our first real look at Boundless Recreation’s new fifth wheel, DRV Mobile Suites is returning under the Jayco Family of Companies, and several completely new RV lines are preparing to debut for the 2027 model year.

Also this week:

• California’s planned ban on disposable one-pound propane cylinders has been blocked by the U.S. Department of Transportation
• A man connected to Carson Pass RV now faces more than 50 felony grand theft charges in an alleged $2.1 million RV fraud scheme
• ATC is launching its first non-toy-hauler fifth wheel
• Axiom RV is expanding with a new luxury fifth-wheel line
• Coachmen has new and returning motorhome products coming for 2027
• Valterra introduces a redesigned portable RV waste tote tank
