RVIA Marks Great American Outdoors Day With Funding Push
Original source: Woodall's Campground Magazine - Daily News & Information for the Outdoor Hospitality Industry

The RV Industry Association marked Great American Outdoors Day by urging Congress to reauthorize the Legacy Restoration Fund (LRF), created in 2020 to address deferred maintenance on public lands, now exceeding $40 billion. The fund expired on September 30, 2025, and requires reauthorization. In March, the association met with administration officials, and during Advocacy Day, 103 partners supported the America the Beautiful Act, which would extend LRF. The Senate bill has 68 cosponsors, the House bill 222. Examples of funded projects include campground rehabilitations in Rocky Mountain, Zion, Yosemite, and Mark Twain National Forest.

Go RVing Leverages Major National Events to Inspire Travel

Go RVing continues to promote RV travel as a way to see the USA, tapping into cultural conversations around America’s 250th anniversary, Route 66’s 100th anniversary, and this year’s biggest soccer tournament. Two new itineraries have been created: “Show Me Around the Show-Me State” (Missouri) and “Where the Great Lakes Offer Great Fun” (Erie, Pennsylvania). Under the RV-2-50 initiative, 20 itineraries have been published, developed in collaboration with destination marketing organizations and campgrounds.

RVIA Seeks Support for National Parks, Public Lands

The RV Industry Association (RVIA) launched an advocacy initiative urging manufacturers, suppliers, dealers, and campgrounds to support the America the Beautiful Act (S. 1547). The bill would reauthorize the Legacy Restoration Fund for 8 years, increase annual funding from $1.9 billion to $2 billion, and prioritize projects with a 15% stakeholder match. The maintenance backlog on public lands exceeds $40 billion, and without action, repairs will become more costly.

Asotin shuts down RV dump site after weeks of heavy use

The city of Asotin, Washington, has temporarily closed two waste disposal sites used by RVers and rafters due to a record surge in usage. The influx overwhelmed the local wastewater treatment plant, prompting officials to schedule a public hearing on August 24 to decide whether to continue the service. The sites include a free RV dump and a BLM-owned SCAT machine.
