This week on GMO, the crew looks ahead to Memorial Day adventures—Alex Burkett is planning a trip to Cuyahoga Valley National Park, while Matt Whitermore recently visited Ferncrest Promised Land for a franchise discovery day (shoutout to Ferncrest and Brian Linton!).
The team explores how wellness tourism continues to shape RV travel, with more parks offering yoga, meditation, and guided nature walks. A new Pilot/Campspot survey shows campers are favoring shorter trips to national parks and small towns within 200 miles.
We also unpack how the 2026 GMI requirements on new RVs are pressuring campgrounds to upgrade their infrastructure. Plus, we highlight Electric Outdoors’s off-grid glamping canopy, USA TODAY’s 10 Best campgrounds, and the booming overlanding trend showcased at Overland Expo West.

Next Episode
In this week’s GMH EU, the crew dives into Spain’s summer tourism tension as the government cracks down on over 9,000 illegal short-term rentals in Catalonia and considers a steep VAT hike on STRs to combat housing shortages. Meanwhile, anti-tourism protests heat up across hotspots like the Canary Islands, and new travel rules now require non-EU visitors to show proof of insurance.
On the tech front, AI booking engines are evolving to offer real-time pricing and availability, potentially reshaping OTA models. We also spotlight Spain’s most affordable beach towns and a curated list of top-rated legal Airbnbs still worth booking.
