Happy Thanksgiving, everyone, and welcome to Beyond The Wheel Driver’s Edition!

Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals

Some of our favorite RV companies will be participating in Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. Battle Born Batteries will have their first Black Friday sale and will also run a Cyber Monday special. They will also keep the phone lines open over the weekend to handle the sales and questions. Micro Air is running a Cyber Monday special on their popular Easy Start 364 & their new Easy Touch RV Thermostat. Our friends over at Techno RV have already started their Black Friday sale. We love these companies and what they are doing for the RV industry, so we hope you will check them out.

Winnebago RV’s first virtual launch

The Ekko is an AWD van with features like a full bath, large water tanks, a garage, and many more features not typically found in a van size RV. The new Journey is a Class A diesel pusher that sits on an all-new chassis with many characteristics of a bus, like a lowered chassis with large cargo bays and side mirrors that are up and out of the way.

Newmar also had some big news with a diesel Class A with a Twist

This Class A diesel has the engine up front instead of the rear, allowing them to turn this new Canyon Star into a Class A Toy Hauler.

Kenny’s Cheap Handling Fix

This is a simple adjustment that can be done to the sway bar of a gas Class A Ford Chassis. The adjustment takes about 35 minutes to perform but makes a world of difference in the handling of the RV. It basically takes the roll off the RV while cornering and while parked at a campground and setup. Kenny wishes he did this adjustment years ago. He also did the rear sway bar and talks about why in the episode.

News of Vaccine Slows Projected RV sales

There is talk Investors are backing away from some outdoor camping, recreational vehicle, and boating stocks after Pfizer announced 90% efficacy with its COVID-19 vaccine. This does kind of make sense if Covid-19 caused a spike in sales, then a possible cure would start to flatline that spike.

Take care everyone, Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels!
