Ep. 47 RV News with Kenny and Sean

An RV Podcast

In this RV podcast, Kenny and Sean discuss the future of RVing. A recent survey, conducted by KOA, showed an increasing interest in camping. They asked campers and non-campers to rank different forms of travel and camping rated at the top for safety. 

“People are valuing the outdoors more than ever right now. Thirty percent of those surveyed said camping is going to be their first trip when they’re able to get out there.” – Tobey O’Rourke CEO of KOA

We also are excited to see the new Ford F-53 chassis is now listed on Winnebago’s website. The new chassis will have a 7.3 liter V8 engine replacing the 6.8 Triton V10. It will also have upgraded rear sway bar and suspension.

Speaking of Winnebago, Kenny talks about how and why he and Sabrina are borrowing a Winnebago Vita. Kenny has to social distance from Sabrina while she is working on the front lines of health care during the pandemic.

Other exciting news included the release of Dometic’s 12 volt refrigerator for aftermarket sale. The refrigerator uses very low amperage is runs quietly. When replacing the standard RV refrigerator, you gain an extra 2 cubic inches of interior storage. That may not sound like a lot, but when it comes ot space in an RV every little bit helps.

    I really enjoyed today’s podcast. I like just talking about RVing in general occasionally. It’s a great way to keep up with the industry.

    Glad to see Dometic is stepping up the Fridge game. Now that we installed a huge GE French Door Bottom Freezer fridge in the bus and an Isotherm Marine DC fridge in the Van, I doubt we’ll ever go back to an absorption fridge again.

    Hope that the new Engine works out well in the Ford Chassis, I guess they were due for a change. That V10 had a good run for sure.
