0:00.0	I'm Jason Epperson. This is RV Miles and it's time for our year-end RV and camping news roundup.
0:08.3	Welcome back, everybody. Each year at the end of the year, I like to go back through the entire year's stories and take a look at what the biggest RV and camping news stories were for this year.
0:18.1	And this year, like each other year, was a big one. We covered a lot of stuff this year. So let's dive into my top stories of the year of stuff that we cover. There's probably some other stories out there that I'm missing on here. And if I did, I'd love to hear about them in the comments. But I'm going to just, I'm not going to sort of regurgitate these stories. What I want to do is briefly talk about what happened and sort of talk about where we are in the grand scope of things right now. First up, the year for the RV
0:42.5	industry really kicks off at the Florida RV Super Show in Tampa every year. It's just around the
0:47.9	corner. We actually interviewed Dave Kelly from the Florida RV Trade Association about the
0:53.7	2026 show. And we're going to be there.

1:19.4	Nate and Rissa from Les Junkmore Journey had their collaboration with Grand Design that

1:33.4	And, you know, proud to be one of the first in on this.
1:36.9	But I think this is sort of a trend that the RV manufacturers have found useful.
1:43.3	Obviously, using influencers to help sell things is something that's become common across society.
1:51.0	But I think it's something unique and interesting here within the RV industry.
1:54.8	You know, a lot of us have said for years, we wish some of these RVs were designed more by people that actually use them. And while
2:02.4	most of these floor plan designs are not, we're not reimagining the RV itself. We didn't set out to
2:09.7	redesign how Sabre builds RVs. Nate and Marissa didn't set out to redesign how grand design
