0:00.0	Fuel prices are suddenly climbing again and the conflict driving it could push them even higher just as RV travel season begins.
0:08.0	We'll explain what's happening. Diesel in particular has jumped over a dollar a gallon.
0:12.0	What it could mean for the RV industry whose stocks took another tumble this past week.
0:16.2	Plus, Bucky's new gas pump rule, a billion dollar outdoor recreation milestone, a new travel
