In this Drivers Edition, Kenny recaps his recent trip to Overland Expo West, where attendance held strong despite expectations of a slowdown. He shares insights on buzzworthy gear like the Jeep/Dometic ARTT rooftop system and weighs in on industry chatter following the Overland Collective merger.

From there, we dive into the real talk on the RV industry’s rebound — wholesale shipments are up, Lazydays service revenue is climbing, and those “COVID campers”? Many are sticking around.

Then we head into the legislative battleground: California’s EV waiver drama, a surprise land sell-off reversal in Congress, and why public-land advocates are gearing up for more fights.

We also break down new RV buyer demographics (hello, Gen Z), why pickleball is outpacing Wi-Fi upgrades, and how the rise of tech-ready rigs is reshaping remote work on the road.

Plus, a rapid-fire news blitz covering campground expansion, record-breaking retail numbers, and a massive RV travel forecast for 2025.
