The biggest RV show of the year is over, and here's some of the juicy gossip and inside info we picked up at the 2026 Florida RV Supershow. It tells a powerful story about where the RV industry is headed next.

From massive dealer consolidation to growing talk of iconic brands being sold, this episode connects the dots on why the RV world feels like it’s in transition.

Here’s what we cover:

• Mega RV dealer chains getting even bigger and what that means for prices and service
• Strong buzz that Roadtrek may be for sale again, and why insiders are concerned
• Tariffs quietly driving up the price of Class B motorhomes
• A major purchase move involving Alliance RV and Midwest Automotive Design
• Zion National Park restricting large RVs on a key scenic route starting in 2026
• Honda officially entering the RV space with a lightweight towable trailer
• Influencer overload and why RV marketing is shifting gears

You can also leave us a voice message, comment, question, or news tip right on the site, many listener tips shape future episodes.

And don’t forget, on February 5 I’m hosting a live, interactive RV Travel Planning Workshop to help you plan smarter trips and avoid costly mistakes. Details at RVPodcast.com/workshop.
