Before we get started on this week's jampacked newsletter, a quick word of thanks to all those who enrolled in our RV Renting School course.

We are thrilled that we can help folks turn their RV into an income-producing asset that even has the potential of even covering the payments for you if you have financed your RV.

Also a reminder for those who are thinking about enrolling. The special launch week pricing discount of $100 off the enrollment cost expires at midnight tonight, Sept. 30! So if you want the extra savings, you only have a few hours left.

This week finds us headed to the California RV Show. This is an awesome show, the biggest on the west coast and one of the biggest in the nation. It will be held at the Auto Club Speedway, in Fontana, CA.

This is a new and larger facility for this amazing show and it offers free parking now, instead of the $15 parking fee there used to be at its previous location in Pomona. Jennifer and I will be there that this weekend and we'll be doing meetups Friday and Saturday, Oct. 4 and 5. You can get tickets and learn more at https://www.californiarvshow.org/

RV LIFESTYLE NEWS OF THE WEEK

Bull elk charges woman, knocking her down, at Rocky Mountain National Park
News out of Rocky Mountain National Park is a good reminder for all of us to stay away from elk during mating season - which is happening now. Last week a woman in the Colorado park was charged by a bull elk who knocked her down and repeatedly charged her with his antlers. A worker drove a pick up on to the sidewalk to get between her and the elk, and then the animal charged the truck. Bull elk can be extremely territorial during mating season so remember- keep your distance.

New policy permits off-road vehicles to drive roads in Utah's national parks, causing conservationists to predict policing nightmare
Off-road vehicles like ATVs and UTVs will be allowed in Utah National Parks only beginning Nov. 1 under a policy change that was apparently made without public input, and has made plenty of people mad. The new policy requires Utah's national park superintendents to have their laws agree with Utah state laws which permit off road vehicles on main access and back access roads as long as the off-road vehicles are equipped with standard safety features, registered and insured. A national parks spokeswoman was quoted in the Salt Lake Tribune saying this does not mean people can take their off-road vehicles off the roads. But conservation groups say this is creating an enforcement nightmare because these vehicles are designed to go off-road, and it is impossible to ensure everyone follows the law. The vehicles are loud, and if people do go off road, it will cause unnecessary damage to land considered a national treasure, conservationists said.

Michigan family budgets $2,500 for camping fees during trip out west, spends just $33 thanks to boondocking
A Michigan paper ran a feature story on a family who budgeted $2,500 in campground charges for a trip west but spent just $33. Why the big savings? Boondocking. The family researched how boondocking works, and details in the article how they saved money by camping on public land, Boondockers Welcome sites, Walmart or Cabela parking lots, and more. The article was a fun read, and really shows how much can be saved by using for free or low cost camping options. If you are interested in learning more, we wrote a full guide on boondocking that could be checked out here.

Canada's Liberal Party promising free camping for all qualifying low income kids and their families if reelected
Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made news last week when pledging, if his federal Liberal Party is reelected, to expand a "Learn to Camp" program. The expansion would provide funding so up to 75,000 low income kids could go on an all expense paid camping trip with their families for up to four days in one of the country's national or provincial parks each year. They would also teach kids camping skills by eight grade in the program.

Buffalo Roundup at South Dakota's Custer State Park attracts 25,000 visitors

Last weekend's buffalo roundup at Custer State Park attracted 25,000 spectators to the annual event that counted 1,460 buffalo. The South Dakota State Park brings in riders on horseback to corral the animals where they are given a health check, counted, and separated. This year 470 will be sent to auction in November. The park sets a goal of 1,000 wild buffalo in the 71,000 acre state park to maintain the ecological balance. Custer State Park consistently ranks as one of the best state parks in the country. Here is a story we posted from a visit many years ago.
