RVers Seek Sites as Renovations Continue at Texas Park

Hundreds of RV spots inside Isla Blanca Park (Cameron County, Texas) are still a work in progress, according to KRGV. In a few weeks, Cameron County parks will open reservations for a small number of spots for the winter season. Work is currently underway at the RV area inside Isla Blanca Park. While there are still RVs at the park, hundreds of spots have been out of the picture. That’s sent some longtime RVers elsewhere and some of their business along with them. Channel 5 News spoke with Cameron County Parks and Recreation about the upgrades that started last year. “We’re doing a major infrastructure improvement project to the RV sites that are located inside of the gate. There are about 577 RV sites that we’re upgrading the electrical, the water and sewer. So, those are temporarily closed until the project is completed,” Cameron County Parks and Recreation Director Joe Vega said. Officials said last year the spots should reopen for the summer 2027 season.

The RV Industry Association's Government Affairs team held an RV Caucus event on Capitol Hill on Aug. 19, attended by over 100 Hill staff. The event focused on legislative priorities including reauthorization of the Legacy Restoration Fund for campground modernization and the No Tax on RV Loans Act, which would allow a $10,000 interest deduction. Vice President of Government Affairs Jason Rano spoke on the industry's economic impact. A second event is scheduled for December.

Camp-let has introduced the Earth, a hybrid travel trailer that measures 10.6 feet in length, 5.3 feet in width, and weighs 595 pounds when towed, but expands to a living space up to 13 feet long, 18.8 feet wide, and 7.5 feet high. The base model, priced at about $14,593, accommodates four people; adding an annex and awning for additional capacity brings the total for a 10-person setup to roughly $21,981. With a minimum tow rating of 1,000 pounds, the trailer can be pulled by most pickups, SUVs, and even electric vehicles.

The Chevrolet 454 big-block V8, introduced in 1970 in the Chevelle SS LS6, continued production for heavy-duty trucks and motorhomes until 2000, when it was replaced by the Vortec 8100. Unlike other large V8s that ended after 1973, the 454 adapted to emissions regulations, gaining fuel injection and a hydraulic roller camshaft. It was used in models like the Safari Trek, Fleetwood Bounder, and Winnebago Chieftain.
