In Brief

At a Maverik station in Montrose, Colorado, an RV owner mistakenly dumped waste into an underground diesel tank, causing contamination and financial losses.

An incident occurred at a Maverik gas station in Montrose, Colorado, where an RV owner used the hatch of an underground diesel tank instead of a designated waste disposal station. According to Cowboy State Daily, this happened after fresh fuel had been delivered to the tank.

As a result, the diesel was contaminated, and the station incurred losses from cleaning and disposal. The event has been described as a sanitary nightmare worthy of a film.

Two Brazilian women turn Volkswagen Kombi into a motorhome

Fernanda and Tainá, both adventure sports enthusiasts, converted a 1996 Volkswagen Kombi into a motorhome. The project 'Tchau, Gol. Oi, Kombi' began in August 2016: after selling Fernanda's Gol car, they bought the Kombi within 9 days. The interior renovation took one month and cost 3,000 reais (about 600 USD). The conversion includes a cabinet, sofa-bed, LED lighting, a 220V refrigerator, and a mini oven. Future plans include a roof rack, auxiliary battery, and water system.

The RV Industry Association (RVIA) board voted unanimously to set Jan. 1, 2027, as the effective date for requiring grounding monitor interrupters (GMI) on all new RVs, with mandatory enforcement starting with each manufacturer's model year 2028.
