Free camping at Missouri conservation sites could end under new proposal
Original source: FOX 2

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has proposed a $5 permit fee for overnight camping at over 320 sites that are currently free. The move follows a rise in violations: 11 citations and 2 warnings in 2015 compared to 30 citations and 153 warnings in 2024. The permit would cover up to five days (four nights) for groups of up to 10 people. Public comments are open from July 16 to August 14, with changes possibly taking effect by March 2027.

Missouri County Council To Decide Fate Of Park Development

The Jefferson County (Mo.) Planning and Zoning Commission deadlocked 2-2 on a rezoning request for an RV park, sending the decision to the County Council. Mastodon RV Park LLC seeks to rezone a 17-acre property at 5300 Jeanette Drive for a planned mixed-use district. The development plan includes 97 concrete RV pads, a dog park, a pickleball court, a pond, and a walking path. The County Council is expected to consider the rezoning request in May.

Woman spends €30,000 converting van into motorhome after divorce

After her divorce, Eva sold everything and converted a 2016 Chevrolet Express 3500 van into a motorhome named Betti for about €30,500. With a friend's help, she completed the main work in six weekends, including insulation, wiring, and a cab-to-living-area door. The total budget, including the van, reached around $35,000. The motorhome features 400W solar panels, two Jackery batteries, a kitchen with 68 liters of water, a fridge, Webasto heating, and a dry toilet.

Patrick Industries Inc. reported financial results for the second quarter of 2026. Net sales were $1.04 billion, slightly down from $1.05 billion in the prior-year period. Revenue growth in Marine (22%), Powersports (28%), and Housing (2%) largely offset a 15% decline in RV end market revenue, driven by a 16% drop in RV industry wholesale unit shipments. Net income increased 34% to $43 million, and diluted EPS rose 33% to $1.28. The company also announced a merger agreement with LCI Industries.
