Boundless Recreation RV, a boutique company founded last year, has presented the first proof-of-concept unit of its luxury fifth wheel, the 2027 Boundless 320RL. The model features a custom Lippert chassis, a non-laminated aluminum frame, and an all-composite body with no wood, making it resistant to rot and water damage. It measures 36.2 feet (11 meters) long and 101 inches (256 cm) wide, with a gross weight of 19,000 lbs (8,618 kg) and a cargo capacity of 4,700 lbs (2,132 kg). Standard equipment includes three slide-outs, residential appliances, a dishwasher, washer and dryer prep, a three-stage water filtration system, Starlink, 400W solar, and a 2,000W inverter. Pricing and production timeline have not been announced.

Joseph and Isabel Vesely of Anchorage asked the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission on Monday, Sept. 14, to vacate Keyros Avenue, a 60-foot-wide platted right-of-way between two properties they own near Cohoe Beach Road. The owners intend to combine Tracts B2 and B3 into a unified campground and add campsites. In their application, the Veselys argued that eliminating Keyros Avenue would not cut off public access, pointing to an existing trail system and saying ATV, pedestrian, and equestrian traffic could continue reaching the state land by a route that avoids campground operations. Borough planning staff, however, determined that the alternative described in the application did not itself meet requirements for equal or superior access because replacement access must be established on land controlled by the applicants. Staff instead recommended a new 60-foot right-of-way on the plat.

Dozens of illegally parked motorhomes, buses, and camper vans occupy Washington Blvd in Venice, Los Angeles, daily, with limited city enforcement. According to the article, some vehicles remain essentially continuously on the street, moving only for street sweeping, while enforcement is random and inconsistent. Los Angeles has laws restricting parking of vehicles over 22 feet long or 84 inches high between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. where signs are posted, plus a 72-hour rule, but they are not consistently applied. The issue has persisted for nearly a decade, with City Council files dating back to 2005, and local businesses and residents are calling for consistent enforcement.

ATC introduced the Pla 650 3611, a lightweight fifth-wheel toy hauler, at the 2026 Hershey RV show. The trailer measures 11.5 meters in length, has a base weight of 5,216 kg, a payload capacity of 2,041 kg, and a gross vehicle weight of 7,257 kg. It is designed to haul smaller toys such as ATVs, motorcycles, bicycles, or kayaks and can sleep up to 10 people. Pricing starts at $155,615.

A 20-foot camper trailer in Central City was destroyed by fire Saturday morning. Centralia Fire Protection District firefighters responded to 137 North Morrison after Central City police officer Brody Meigs found the camper burning behind the residence. The fire is believed to have started from a nearby brush pile fire that had spread and went unnoticed. The owner, Perry Hixenbaugh, planned to scrap the camper, although he said it had new tires he wanted to save. No one was injured.
