RV News

Now, onto the news. It was certainly an interesting month for RV news. Starting with a story from California where San Luis Obispo County wants to put restrictions on how farms and wineries offer one-night stays using the Harvest Host program. The county is going as far as handing out citations to farmers claiming they are breaking campground codes by hosting RVers on their land for one night. But, of course, these farmers are not running campgrounds. Sean and Kenny express their disappointment in San Luis Obispo County.

According to RVIA, it will be a popular year for small travel trailers, such as the Hike 100 by Winnebago or R Pod from forest river.
