Two RV Dealerships Expand Inventory and Service in Minnesota and Pennsylvania

The Bailey family of six sold their home and has been traveling across the US in an RV since 2019. The decision was prompted by a delayed diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in one of their children, which nearly proved fatal. After a year-long break, they plan to resume their journey this summer in a larger RV.

Ted's RV Land in Paynesville, Minnesota, has updated its RV inventory with new and used 2026 models, including travel trailers, fifth wheels, Class A and C motorhomes, and toy haulers. The dealership also expanded service offerings, including financing, trade-in evaluations, and repair services.

Danny McGee has started converting a cargo van into a camper. On day one, furring strips were installed for wall and ceiling paneling, and sheep's wool insulation was added along with sound dampening material over the wheel wells. The build is expected to take several months.

American manufacturer Oliver Travel Trailers has officially introduced the Apex X23 caravan, designed for off-road and off-grid use. The 7.2-meter model features a dual-axle chassis with reinforced suspension, mud-terrain tires, and a 48-volt electrical system with a 100-Ah lithium-ion battery (equivalent to 400 Ah at 12 volts). The base price is $107,000.

Sales of certified pre-owned RVs and campers are increasing in the US as consumers prepare for summer road trips. Buyers are prioritizing affordability and dealer-backed inspection standards over new units. The trend reflects broader demand for flexible domestic travel options.

Los Angeles City Council candidate Raul Claros parked a 30-foot RV in MacArthur Park for the weekend to draw attention to crime, homelessness, and quality-of-life issues. The move coincided with another federal raid by the FBI, DEA, and LAPD targeting an open-air drug market. Claros stated the raids have not changed conditions for residents and pledged, if elected, to establish a command center in the park to coordinate city departments and law enforcement.
