USA Today travel columnist Eve Chen rented a Class C motorhome via RVshare for a trip across Nevada with her two daughters. The average rental cost was just over $210 per night, excluding insurance, fuel, and campground fees. The generator failed on the first day but was fixed remotely. Strong winds up to 55 mph made driving challenging.
A year after floodwaters devastated the Guadalupe River region, the owners of Guadalupe Keys RV Resort in Kerr County, Texas, are still working to restore the property. The July 2025 flooding destroyed all but two trailer homes and most trees, some estimated at 500 years old. Damage is estimated at $175,000. The park remains closed, with a planned reopening in spring 2027. Texans on Mission received a $750,000 Red Cross grant to continue recovery efforts.
A 23-month-old girl has died from injuries sustained in a camper rollover crash on Interstate 80 near Walcott, Iowa, the Scott County Sheriff's Office reported. The accident occurred on June 27 as the family was traveling from Wisconsin to Arizona. Investigators determined the camper began to sway, causing the driver to lose control and roll over. Both adults were wearing seat belts and the child's car seat was properly secured, but the toddler was not buckled into the seat itself, leading to her ejection.
Winnebago has expanded its lineup with the Elora (also known as Resa), a 20-foot Class C motorhome built on the Ram ProMaster chassis with a Pentastar V6 engine. The model aims to bridge the gap between a converted camper van and a full-size RV, offering a shower, cassette toilet, galley, refrigerator, and sleeping for 2–4 people. The rear garage has a modular design with up to 2,200 pounds of payload, configurable for gear storage or as an extra lounge. Pricing starts at $153,772, with deliveries beginning this month.
Sumner RV has announced a partnership with Genesis Supreme RV, becoming the brand's only official dealer in the Greater Seattle area. The first unit has arrived at the dealership. The move responds to demand for affordable RVs and toy haulers in the Pacific Northwest.
