Campground prices have exploded - and the experience hasn't kept up. In this week's RV Podcast News Edition, we're calling it what it is: the Campground Quality Collapse. A brand-new analysis of 609,000 pricing data points across 2,100+ private campgrounds shows the national median nightly RV site rate is now $62.10, up dramatically from pre-pandemic prices of $35 to $45. We'll tell you who's behind it, what corporate consolidation and dynamic pricing mean for your travel budget, and what you can actually do about it.We also dig into the biggest RV industry story of the week: Thor Industries is reorganizing its brands, and Tiffin Motorhomes is now under Jayco's authority. What does that mean for Tiffin owners and buyers? We have the details - including the untold story of Leigh Tiffin's quiet 20-month exit plan.Plus: RV shipments dropped nearly 11% to start 2026, Camping World posted $6.4 billion in sales but saw its stock crater, and Love's Travel Stops just made their rewards program available to all drivers with real fuel savings for RVers.Every story is fully sourced.

This week's RV Podcast News Edition tackles five stories that cover a lot of ground, starting with a topic the rest of the RV media won't touch: the growing RV homelessness crisis.From Michigan lawmakers debating whether campgrounds can serve as housing solutions, to San Francisco banning large vehicles from city streets, to the quiet erosion of overnight parking at places like Cracker Barrel, this issue is reshaping public policy in ways that affect every RVer on the road.We also dig into a major CNBC investigation revealing how RVs have become a housing safety net in Silicon Valley, where even full-time workers are living in aging rigs on public streets because they have no other option.On the good news front, the National Park Service has officially dropped timed-entry reservation requirements at Yosemite, Arches, and Glacier for 2026. If those parks have been on your list, the reservation window is gone. We break down what that means practically and what to expect when the summer crowds arrive.We also have the full story on Leigh Tiffin's sudden resignation from Tiffin Motorhomes and his move to luxury dealer group NIRVC. He finally broke his silence this week, but the timeline tells a more complicated story: a 20-month negotiation happening behind the scenes, a plant closure affecting 140 workers, and Thor quietly consolidating control over what was once a true family brand.And we close with a look at why 2026 is shaping up to be one of the biggest RV travel years on record - and why you need to make sure your rig is ready before the campgrounds fill up. Our free Spring Prep Workshop is March 12th at 7 PM Eastern. Details and your free Spring Maintenance Book are at RVLifestyle.com/workshop.

From walkthroughs to service follow-ups, the relationship doesn't end at delivery. ✔️ A Real RV Community Through events, campouts, and ongoing support, GRW builds a community of RVers—not just a customer list.

We're taking a few days off for the holidays, but we'll be back with brand new editions of TV Confidential in the new year. In the meantime, please enjoy this Blast from the Past clip from March 2016 featuring sixties film historian Tom Lisanti. Tom's books include Pamela Tiffin: Hollywood to Rome, 1961-1974, a comprehensive look at Tiffin's work in film and television that includes insight from Tiffin herself (as well as such co-stars as Franco Nero), while also exploring the reasons why she remains a cult film icon. In this particular clip, Tom and Ed discuss "The Girl from Little Egypt," the episode of The Fugitive that originally aired on Dec. 24, 1963. Not only is "Little Egypt" among the most popular episodes of the series (because it provided viewers with the back story of Kimble's trial and the night of Helen Kimble's murder), but it also marked one of Pamela Tiffin's few appearances on network television.
This Christmas at Grace, Pastor Zach Pinkerton goes through the messy Christmas story in Matthew 2. We see Herod's response to Jesus's birth and are challenged in our own response to this.

Pastor Zach Pinkerton finishes up our series in the book of Jonah. This week we learn God's heart for the lost and how we are called to have the same heart for the people in our community.
Pastor Zach Pinkerton continues our series studying the book of Jonah. Today we learn that God can use anybody to save anybody.
Last week's shockingly tragic case in Tiffin is a stark reminder about the dangers of domestic violence, the need for community support and the importance of seeking help for victims (at 12:34) --- They are the unsung heroes of Thanksgiving... Showing our appreciation for the farmers and agricultural researchers who ensure the abundance we enjoy when we sit down to our holiday meal (at 22:55) --- What's Happening: A community treasure certainly worth being thankful for... We have details on December programs and events from the Hancock Park District (at 45:24)
A hard story hit our street, and we don't look away. We start by walking through the Tiffin homicide-suicide with care: what happened, why leaving an abusive partner can be the most dangerous time, and how to support survivors without drifting into blame. From there, we talk about what a community can do right now—verify donation links, share official resources, and push for counseling access for neighbors and first responders who can't unsee what they saw. The throughline is simple: compassion lands best when it's paired with practical steps.We lighten the grip a notch with fresh music picks from the heavy end of the spectrum, calling out the riffs that slap and the mixes that don't. Music discovery is our reset button, a way to trade dread for motion and pass along something loud enough to clear the head. Then it's straight into rivalry week. Ohio State vs Michigan still crackles, even in a playoff era. We break down wide receiver health, line play, and why trying to outthink identity is how big games get lost. Keep the ball where we're strongest, trust the defense, and stop chasing someone else's script.Life off the mic shows up too: the cost of a “quick” sandwich run, the slow grind of opening a new store, and the realism required for holiday giving when kids' lists stretch past what wallets can manage. Give what you can, make it count, and don't let scammers siphon goodwill. If you're here for the real—grief, grit, guitar squeals, and game-week nerves—you're in the right place.

This week in our series of the book of Jonah, Pastor Michael Miller teaches us that our salvation belongs to God and that we need him in our problems of life and not just be reliant on ourselves to solve those problems. We need to trust that his sovereignty is all that we need in our lives as followers.
Laughter carried us into the night, but everything that followed turned the story into something bigger: a clean-comedy masterclass, a budget food hack that actually works, a Browns game framed by a wild RTA ride, and the kind of local news that stops you mid-sentence. We start with Brian Regan's clinic in timing and physical storytelling—proof that clean humor can still crush when the craft is tight. From there, we tip into the edgier side of stand-up and ask where taste, context, and consent intersect when a room signs up for discomfort and punchlines.The practical win of the week lives at a wedding: catering with hometown pizza that feeds a crowd and saves thousands. That opens the door to an honest chain-restaurant report—why Chili's is quietly outpacing Applebee's, which apps are actually made in-house, and how to get a full meal without breaking twenty bucks. Then we ride from Brook Park to the stadium with Browns fans, chants from the driver, stains you don't sit on, and the kind of NSFW people watching you can't un-hear. The seats are a surprise upgrade—own concessions, warm-up breaks, clean views—setting the stage for a game where defense roars and the offense leaves us grinding our teeth.We unpack that gap: sacks and a pick-six light up the crowd while three-and-outs drain patience and legs. Along the way, we geek out on the new Dawg logo and snap souvenirs that feel better than the final score. Music takes over next: a pop-punk chorus that punches above its weight and metalcore cuts we'd pick for pro-wrestling entrances, complete with pyro cues and rope poses. And because curiosity runs the show, we dive into unhinged AI mashups—think Tupac on the Titanic—equal parts cringe and can't-look-away, a snapshot of culture remixing itself in real time.The tone shifts when local tragedy hits Tiffin. We hold space for grief, say out loud what matters, and let the community feeling be the last word. If you're here for comedy, food finds, football grit, and the strange poetry of public transit, you'll feel at home. Hit play, ride along, and tell us your best budget food hack or the one song that would soundtrack your entrance.

Pastor Zach Pinkerton kicks off our series studying the book of Jonah. We see Jonah run from God and How God pursued him.
In this lively Restaurant Owners Uncorked chat, Anesh Bodasing, founder of fast-casual Indian concept Tiffin Box, traces a 30-year hospitality journey that began with an audacious “give me 60 days” pitch to Hard Rock Café in Cape Town, winds through Canada, South Africa, the UK, and South Florida, and culminates in launching Tiffin Box in 2019 (right before COVID), surviving a bruising first year, testing a food hall, shutting the original West Palm store, and smartly pivoting to dense college-town sites (FSU/FAMU in Tallahassee, UF in Gainesville). Framing Tiffin Box as “Chipotle for Indian,” he shares lessons on branding, build-out nitty-gritty, cash-flow reality, and a service-first ethos (own the mistake, fix it fast, win loyalty), while aiming to “crack the code” for mainstreaming authentic, everyday Indian food and ultimately franchising.10 Takeaways Bold beginnings pay off: confidence got Anesh his first shot at Hard Rock and set the tone for his career. “Chipotle for Indian” creates instant understanding for new guests unfamiliar with the cuisine. Brand words matter: “Americanized” signaled watered-down; switching to “fast, fresh Indian” restored credibility. Cash flow rules everything during build-out; opening day is the first chance money can flow back in. Owner vs. operator: the job shifts from running shifts to deciding lights, outlets, signage, leases—every detail. Pandemic resilience: momentum stalled in 2020, but tight pivots (and lessons from a short-lived food hall) refined the model. Site strategy upgrade: closing West Palm and targeting student-dense, walkable college corridors increased fit and foot traffic. Service > food > price: great service makes guests forgiving and price-agnostic; poor service makes every dollar feel worse. Reviews are a gift: answer fast, fix the problem, and you'll often create your most loyal fans from a bad moment. Founder availability matters: post your number, handle issues personally, and build trust at scale.
This week, Pastor Zach Pinkerton concludes our series, Know Death, by teaching about how the apostle Peter went from living a life in which he feared death, to living a life in which he bravely faced death. As followers, we learn that because Jesus conquered death, we can find rest in the fact that he has also already decided our End, eternal life in his kingdom.
This week Pastor Mike continues in our series Know Fear. We are challlenged into asking ourselves wether we are trusting in God or if we are allowing our fear of failure to determine how we live out our faith.
Pastor Kevin Pinkerton continues in our series, Know Fear. Today we are challenged to take a stand for our faith. Fear can make us silent. So, take courage and remember where our strength come from.
This week, Pastor Michael Miller kicks off a new series, "Know Fear".
