RV NEWS OF THE WEEK The "Splurgecation" Trend is Taking Over RV Travel  Here's a fascinating shift in how people are approaching RV travel in 2025 – and it might surprise you! According to major industry reports, 63% of travelers say they will take fewer trips in 2025 but spend more per trip, focusing on one big annual RV adventure rather than frequent weekend getaways.  They're calling these "splurgecations," and campers are willing to splurge on upgraded experiences, premium campgrounds, and adventure activities like ziplining, guided tours, and fine dining What's really interesting is the rise of passion-driven travel - instead of just picking a famous destination, more travelers are choosing trips based on their interests like baseball stadium tours, brewery crawls, historical sightseeing, or outdoor adventure travel. It's like the RV community is saying, "If we're going to do this, let's make it count!" The trade-off makes sense too - quality over quantity, and with inflation hitting everything, people are being more strategic about their travel budgets. ​No More Limp Mode: Big Win for Diesel RVers and Truck Owners​ RVers who drive diesel motor homes or diesel pickup trucks will be excited to hear that manufacturers will no longer be allowed to program severe, immediate power loss when diesel exhaust fluid runs low or a DEF sensor fails, beginning with 2027 models.
