As the school year comes to an end and summer vacations begin, it means more people taking advantage of their RVs and campgrounds across the country. With this increase in outdoor recreation comes an increase in the use of propane.

Doing what’s right to protect the environment is increasing in importance for many travelers. In fact, according to the 2021 Sustainable Travel Report sponsored by Booking.com, 53% of U.S. travelers believe that people have to act now to save the planet for future generations.

It's another win for inherent risk legislation and campground owners. The National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (National ARVC) has been working closely with the Indiana Manufactured Housing Association-Recreation Vehicle Indiana Council, Inc. (IMHA-RVIC) and Ohio Campground Owners Association (OCOA) to pass two important pieces of legislation in their respective states.

The Great Resignation is the universal connector of all industries right now.

Like many siblings, Melanie Wagner and her sister Wendy were direct opposites. Melanie was a spender. Wendy was a saver. Melanie wanted to make her way in the world outside of Mississippi where they grew up, but Wendy loved calling the state home. Wendy hated technology while Melanie was a computer science major. And the list goes on.

As part of an industry that takes great pride in offering outstanding outdoor hospitality, National ARVC member-parks would naturally prefer to focus on extending a warm welcome to guests rather than asking them to leave. But unfortunately, there are times when that unpleasant task becomes necessary.
