Tekmodo announced the addition of seamless composite sidewall panels to its portfolio of thermoplastic composite solutions for recreational vehicles. The new panels complement the company's existing one-piece composite roofs and flooring, creating a complete floor-to-roof offering for RV manufacturers. Panels can be produced up to 120 inches wide and 50 feet long, allowing for seamless, factory-bonded panels. In comparative testing, the composite roof panel was approximately 28% lighter than 9mm plywood and delivered approximately 34% higher machine-direction flexural strength.

The number of people in Oklahoma living in an RV, boat or van nearly doubled since 2020, exceeding 7,000 as of 2024, according to the U.S. Census American Community Survey. There is no statewide law governing RV residency, so outside city limits and absent county zoning rules, parking and living in an RV are allowed indefinitely. Oklahoma City permits short-term RV occupancy for guests for a maximum of 14 days per calendar year, prohibits utility hookups and compensation, bans cooking inside, and allows only one RV per residence on a hard surface 11 feet from the curb. Tulsa allows parking in a garage, back or side yard with three feet from the property line, or one RV in front perpendicular to the street at least 12 feet from the curb; rules are relaxed for up to 48 hours for loading or unloading.

From April 1 to October 31, New Brighton State Beach, one of California's most popular beachfront campgrounds, will charge early arrivals $10 per parking space due to high volume and limited parking for larger RVs.

The campground has 11 RV hookup sites with electricity only, a maximum consecutive stay of seven days followed by a 48-hour absence, and a 30-day annual limit. A $10 fee applies for dump station use, and discount pass holders must present their card and photo ID at check-in.

Airstream has produced its riveted aluminum trailers since 1931; in 1939 NASA used a modified Airstream to quarantine Apollo 11 astronauts.
