Off-Road Expo 2026

Start date

Off-Road Expo Pomona 2026

The Off-Road Expo at Fairplex in Pomona is one of the largest off-road, overlanding, and 4x4 events in the western United States, bringing together thousands of enthusiasts from California and the Southwest for a weekend of new vehicles, gear demonstrations, trail rigs, and the latest in overlanding and adventure travel equipment. The show is a major gathering point for the Southern California overlanding and vanlife community, featuring purpose-built expedition rigs, roof-top tents, van conversions, and all manner of adventure camping equipment.

Fairplex (the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds) in Pomona is centrally located between Los Angeles and the Inland Empire, easily accessible from across Southern California. The October timing is ideal as the desert Southwest's temperatures drop to comfortable levels for camping and overlanding, inspiring visitors to plan their autumn and winter adventures across the Mojave, Sonoran, and Joshua Tree landscapes.

San Diego Police continue crackdown on illegally parked RVs

San Diego Police conduct pre-dawn enforcement in Mission Bay, offering owners of illegally parked RVs a choice: relocate to H-Barracks or receive a $173 parking citation. Under the city's Oversized Vehicle Ordinance, parking RVs on city lots and public streets between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. is illegal. Since enforcement resumed in July 2025, SDPD has issued nearly 8,000 citations through August 2026 and made 888 successful referrals to safe parking. During one shift, officers issued 29 citations and made five referrals, but only two RVs arrived at H-Barracks.

2021 Toyota Tundra Driver Says a Tanker Hit His Camper, Leaving It About 3 Feet Off Center While Still Hitched

A 2021 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro owner reported that a tanker's rear axle struck the corner of his R-Pod 202 camper, shifting it about 3 feet to the truck's left while it remained hitched. The incident occurred about 20 miles from home after a trip to Starved Rock State Park in Illinois. The owner later said the camper was a total loss, while the truck received a clean bill of health from a frame shop.

RV owners move inland as Isaias approaches Gulf Coast

As Isaias approaches the Gulf Coast, some RV owners are moving their campers farther inland rather than waiting out the storm near the beach. Bay Breeze on the Bay RV Park in Fort Morgan, Alabama, is not allowing guests to stay past Friday night; campers can remain at the park, but owners are responsible for them. Kim Anderson, who has been staying at the park for about four years, planned to leave Thursday and return her RV to the park Monday, depending on the storm’s impact on the Gulf Coast.
