News: RV Stocks Tumble, Huge Ford Recall, Washington May Shutter 19 State Park Campgrounds
Episode Description
Thor Industries — the world’s largest RV manufacturer — just announced a major corporate restructuring, grouping brands like Jayco, Tiffin, Keystone, Dutchmen, and others under new leadership structures. We break down what this means for the industry… and why it comes as RV stocks continue to tumble.
Several major recalls that could impact RVers:
• 4.3 million Ford trucks and SUVs recalled for trailer module issues
• 15,000 Ford Transit vans recalled for potential brake failure
• 3.2 million Weber grill brushes recalled due to ingestion hazards
• Nearly 20,000 Trek electric bikes recalled over rear wheel separation risk
Plus, 19 Washington state park campgrounds could close or see reduced services due to budget cuts, while Texas opens its first new North Texas state park in nearly 25 years — Palo Pinto Mountains State Park.
