- Airstream Reveals Its Most Popular Travel Trailers of 2026: If you peruse the travel trailers that Airstream currently has in its lineup, you’ll discover plenty of options to consider. But if you’ve ever wondered which of those models is the most popular, the iconic brand is here to help. Recently, Airstream revealed which of its towables are most in demand in 2026 by sharing a list of its best-selling rigs.

- Pebble Ships 100+ Electric Travel Trailers: We shared this bit of news earlier in the week, but thought it was worth repeating here in our Friday roundup. This week, Pebble announced that its Flow travel trailer has now been delivered to more than 100 customers. That’s a significant milestone that comes just a year after the high-tech towable went into production. In addition to this news, the company also revealed several new features, including boondocking mode and a clever use of the trailer’s camera. Read the full story here.

- The Kia PV5 May Be the Electric Camper Van We’ve All Been Waiting For: The RV industry has been teasing electric camper vans for several years now, with a few smaller manufacturers actually making those rigs a reality. Recently, we told you about the Kia RV5, an EV that is taking the rest of the world by storm. Right now, there are no plans to bring the van stateside, but overseas there is already a burgeoning market for converting the vehicle into a Class B coach. One such example is Sunbox Campers in the UK, which is already offering conversion models that look great. Interior features utilize the van’s large battery pack to run appliances, including a refrigerator, along with USB charging ports, HVAC, and more. Other highlights include wood cabinets and countertops, a pop-top, and other amenities. Check them out here.

- GearJunkie Reveals Its Favorite Camping Trailers for Road Tripping: Let’s face it, there are a dizzying array of travel trailers to choose from these days, so any help in finding one to meet your individual needs is always appreciated. This week, that help comes courtesy of our friends over at GearJunkie, which revealed their favorite camping trailers for road trips. Most of the models that made the cut are small, easy to tow, and built for at least light off-road duty. There are some familiar names on the list—like the Winnebago Micro Minnie—and a few lesser-known rigs. All are lauded for their versatility and durability, with some very fun options to consider. Check it out here.

- Gear Patrol Checks Out the Storyteller Overland GXV Wild Truck Camper: We’ve sung the praises of Storyteller Overland’s vehicles for years here at RV.com, so it is probably about time we let someone else take over hyping the brand. This week, that comes courtesy of Gear Patrol, which offers an in-depth look at the GVX Wild, a truck-based camper with serious off-road chops and a rugged build that doesn’t skimp on the luxuries. Read the review here, then head over to the Storyteller website to build and price a GVX of your own.

- Bluetti Offers Three New Portable Power Solutions for RVers: Portable power solutions manufacturer Bluetti is continuing its big push into the RV space this summer with its just-launched “The Open Road, Fully Powered” campaign. The goal is to educate RVers and overlanders about the options available that now allow them to travel and camp off-grid much more comfortably and easily. Along with the start of the camping season, the company is sharing three new options for this market, which includes ready-made kits with travelers in mind. Those include the Light RV Living Kit, which includes a 500W solar panel and an Elite 300 power station, which we recently reviewed here. The Advanced Off-Grid Travel Kit is also available and is designed for larger rigs, like Type C coaches, fifth-wheel and travel trailers, and truck campers. Visit the Bluetti website for more details.

- Go RVing extols the virtues of the RV Party Porch: We’re big fans of the continuing trend of adding decks/porches to RVs that we’ve seen in recent years, but now we know we’re not alone. This week, Go RVing shared a fun video that shows off several rigs that include this feature—which aren’t just for toy haulers anymore—and some ideas on how to use them. You can watch the video here to get a sense of how these party porches can change the way you camp.
